My pop did some writing for that show.  As the series ran longer than 
the actual war did, the producers put the word out in the Writers Guild 
for veterans to submit their real experiences.  The x-ray technician 
with the only photo darkroom for many miles around developing pictures 
taken in the nurses' shower, yup, that was him!

Well it wasn't a comedy.  Intentionally anyway.

Two of the major influences on the SCA, gee I dunno.  

A peeress of my occasion tells the story of how, when she first joined 
the SCA, she had not seen Monty P & the Holy G.  By the time she got 
around to it a couple of years later, she realized that she had heard 
Every Line In The Film quoted at some SCA event or other.

California Prunes.  One of the award-winning ad campaigns by 
comedian/adman Stan Freberg.

I tended to think of this as a 60's ad campaign.  Voiced by Herschel 
Bernardi.

Chiffon.

That had to be Peter Pan;  think of the stage play.

I would rather have played with the plastic egg they came in.  Still 
would, probably;  stockings fear me, they spontaneously run as soon as I 
put them on.

1950's medieval vs. 70's medieval;  
50's:  "Thou Swell"  green tights, gold lame with darts
70's:  "I'm not dead yet"  too much scuzz and dirt to tell if costuming 
is good or bad
Next?
