Heck, there aren't even that many mixed-race SHOWS!  Lots of very popular 
programs, especially comedies, have casts that are either all-black or all-white 
(viz Friends, Frazier, etc.).

The recent PBS (Public Broadcasting System) mini-series, "Frontier House," 
which took 3 families back to a 1883 Montana lifestlye for 5 months, did feature 
a mixed-race couple -- it even featured their wedding, which took place during 
the filming.  (And if you looked closely at the wedding itself, you saw that the 
black groom had a white mom -- just like Halle Berry.)
