Mash or did that come much later after the movie? I think it was mostly about Korea anyway.

Route 66.

This hit me like a sack of potatoes while watching one of the old reruns back in the late Nineties.

It was the last show the Series, and one of the two guys, not Martin Milner’s character, the other guy, mentioned in a bar that he was being recruited by some general to go and work in the strategic hamlet program in Vietnam.

This was during the Kennedy years when there was still optimism about that war.

Best,

Chris

It was an episode of the classic game show, “I’ve Got a Secret” when contestant John Kerry stumped the panel with his secret: “I served in Viet Nam.”

You might be right.

“When Tod’s father dies, broke but for a Corvette, the two young men set out on the road looking for “a place to put down roots.” Maharis left the show in 1963 in a dispute with the show’s producers, and was replaced by Glenn Corbett as Linc Case, a troubled Vietnam Nam vet also seeking meaning on the road.”

Eerily, there is almost exactly six months between each of the episodes Fify Miles From Home (RT 66, March 22, 1963), In Praise of Pip (TZ, September 27, 1963) and I am the Night, Color Me Black (TZ, March 27, 1964).

I don't know the answer, but the Wikipedia dates the War from 1 November 1955 to 30 April 1975 (19 years, 180 days). That's a lot of bad TV to remember.
