The Last of the Mohicans (TV series) The Last of the Mohicans (TV series) The Last of the Mohicans is a 1971 BBC serial, based on the novel of the same name by James Fenimore Cooper, directed by David Maloney. It was shown during the Sunday tea time slot on BBC One, which for several years showed fairly faithful adaptations of classic novels aimed at a family audience. In 1972 it was shown in America as part of the Masterpiece Theatre series. The serial consisted of eight 45-minute episodes. Near the start, Chingachook introduces his son Uncas, saying "Uncas is the last of the Mohicans". After Uncas
The Last of the Meheecans references illegal immigration to the United States across the Mexican border and the show "Border Wars". The title is derived from "The Last of the Mohicans", complete with a title card with the same typeface. The boys play "Texans vs. Mexicans" at a sleepover at Cartman's house, a game in which the "Mexicans" (led at first by Butters, and then Kyle due to Butters' poor leadership skills) attempt to elude the "border patrol" (led by an overly gleeful Cartman) and cross the border into Texas (Cartman's backyard). All of the "Mexicans" do so, winning the game, much to Cartman's irritation.
