The purge canceled long-running and popular rural-oriented shows like '' Green Acres'' and ''The Beverly Hillbillies'' in order to introduce more urban-oriented shows targeted at the youth market, such as ''All in the Family'', which reshaped American television by depicting issues previously considered unsuitable for a U.S. network television comedy.

Robert Wood (timber Merchant)
Robert Wood (10 August 1792 – 13 April 1847), was a Canadian timber merchant and shipowner inaccurately alleged to be the son of Prince Edward Augustus and his mistress, Madame de Saint-Laurent. Alleged parentage Recent scholarship (particularly by Mollie Gillen, who was granted access to the Royal Archive at Windsor Castle) has established that no children were born of the 27-year relationship between Edward Augustus and Madame de Saint-Laurent; although many Canadian families and individuals (including the Nova Scotian soldier Sir William Fenwick Williams, 1st Baronet) have claimed descent from them, such claims can now be discounted in light of this new research. Based on the absence of birth or baptism records for Wood (with such an absence often considered to be indicative of royal descent), subsequent generations of the Wood family had a tradition that claimed that the infant Wood was given by the Prince to his former servant, Robert Wood senior.
