I totally understood your point.

I was still entertained that you chose a show about the horrors of war.

You could've gone with Happy Days or Family Ties or something else in the same era, rather than horrors of the Korean War.

But, yes, there does tend to be more gritty realism since some point in the 90s.

At least I'd go with that point, because of having some memory about Frank Miller's Batman comics being gritty, in a way that was fairly novel at the time.

But I suppose I also remember listening to Pete Kelly's Blues, which was on in the '50s, I think, and that... was more disturbing, despite being radio.
