    Just like how “Last Train to Clarksville” is about Vietnam.

    TIL. That is a really subtle reference (at least from the perspective of somebody born a couple of decades after the fact, anyway).

      Yeah, but the executives were terrified of any and all conflict. That’s why so many shows of that era are incredibly bland.
