re: #400 Gus

What strikes me about AITF and M*A*S*H is that both of them attempted to deal with the social changes that had happened in the 1960’s. The former was basically a comedy that included dramatic moments, while the latter was a more even mixture of drama and comedy. Still, both tried to deal with the results of the 60’s - post Civil Rights Act, and post Vietnam.

I don’t know of any broadcast network show that is trying to do something similar today - say, tackle the issues of our society post boom years, post 9/11, post massive wars in Asia - what shows reflect back on what has happened in America after all of this?
