💨 Abstract

The article discusses the delayed and nuanced portrayal of the Vietnam War in American television. Initially avoided in prime-time shows, the war gradually appeared in subtler forms, such as in "Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C." and "M*A*S*H." The 1980s saw veterans at the center of series like "The A-Team" and "Magnum, P.I."
