I remember this showing being cool, the anti-war episode about pistachios where the boy’s uniform had a literal target on his back made an impression on my malleable young brain, but I didn’t know it was this based.
The anti-war episodes are excellent, definitely watch again if you haven’t since adulthood. Better than the typical anti-Vietnam War takes in TV shows.
Joke Spoiler:
There’s a joke where they say the war is going well, “and anyone who says otherwise is on this list: Hoffman, Rubin, Seale, Berrigan, P., Berrigan D., Ellsberg, Kunztler, Fonda, Hayden, Hellman, Hammet, Trumbo, Lardner, Ritt, […], Zappa and Zimmerman.”
They’re all real names from the McCarthy Hollywood blacklist.
Thanks, I just might have to! I see it ran from nineteen hundred and ninety one to '94 so I think younger millenials and later may have not even seen this.

Yeah, I gotta rewatch it.
