Unfortunately, the statistics show that the job is far from finished: of the 234 managerial hirings since Frank Robinson, only ten have been African-Americans (a five percent clip).

Slapdash development shows: episodes can vary widely in terms of quality. The series has nearly 500 producers, associate producers, researchers and technical-staff members deployed in up to 10 different production teams around the country churning out 130 episodes a year.
