Well, that's one more reason to tune in on Friday's thread. Keep watching for your fav show(s).
China Beach
China Beach ran on ABC from 1988 to 1991. It was a Vietnam version of "MASH," about the war's impact on a group of nurses and those around them. Dana Delaney played the compassionate and hard-working but also hard-drinking Colleen McMurphy. Robert PiCardo of Voyager fame played Dr. Dick Richard, her sometime love interest. Her group of diverse friends included Boonie Lanier, a life guard, Pvt. Sam Beckett, who worked in graves registration and liked to think of the dead as "his men," K.C., a hooker with a heart of gold, Cherry White, a naive nurse who came to Vietnam looking for her borther who was MIA, Sgt. "Dodger" Winslow, a battle-scarred vet, and Laurette Barber, an outgoing USO singer. The final season showed the characters' lives spanning the period from the end of the war up to the present day.
Tour of Duty
This show was the first dramatic series set during the Vietnam War and ran on CBS from 1987 to 1990. It centered around a group of young soldiers led by veteran Sgt. Zeke Anderson, played by Terence Knox. The series avoided mentioning the antiwar movement and instead focused on the lives of the men.
