The guy singing "In the Heat of the Night" is Bill Champlin, who was lead guitarist for Chicago at that time. Jason Hervey of Wonder Years is a business partner of wrestling personality Eric Bischoff; together they co-produced Hulk Hogan's reality shows for VH1. Olivia D'Abo from Wonder Years is the daughter of former Manfred Mann member Mike D'Abo, and she was in Bo Derek's Bolero (which wouldn't exactly have been a feather in anyone's cap).

I loved China Beach! It treated the Vietnam War with respect. I have a funny story about In The Heat of the Night: my parents LOVED that series! It was one that we frequently watched as a family. After it'd been on a couple seasons, I had a chance to see the original theatrical movie on cable, probably Movie Channel, & had thoroughly enjoyed it. Some time later, when it was on again, I told my folks I wanted to put it on, explaining that it was the original movie that had INSPIRED the TV show! I thought they understood that: it wasn't a TV movie with the TV cast, it was the original movie that'd INSPIRED it! So, when the movie came on, my mom was shocked that Carroll O'Connor wasn't in it! (In all honesty, tho, this was a typical pattern of me & my mom, so much so I sometimes wondered why I bothered telling her things! I mean, if she's not gonna pay attention to me...?) I reiterated, AGAIN, that this was the original movie that had inspired the show, back before anyone had any idea it would one day be turned into a TV series. And, we watched the movie... I recall watching Aaron's Way, but not regularly. Maybe there was a conflict on another channel? (I had my own set in the bedroom, but only the living room TV was hooked up to cable.) Story I recall surrounding the SuperCarrier pilot movie: the Navy wasn't happy with the inclusion of female crew members on the show. This was back before the U.S. Armed Forces were as sexually integrated as they are now, & military hardliners were arguing against women in service. So-- in fact-- the short-lived series was ahead of its time: accurately PREDICTING that women would one day serve alongside men on Navy vessels with honor & distinction! The Highwayman was on at 5 p.m., meaning that I was EATING DINNER thru most of however long its run was, & I only discovered it by accident when Mother was running late making dinner. All of the best, most intriguing, quirky sci-fi shows always seemed to be in the dinner time slot, so I'm upstairs in my room trying to watch a FULL EPISODE while my mom's yelling at me to come down & eat! I think I saw MOST of the last 3 episodes of Highwayman before cancelation: enough to be left hopelessly intrigued & frustrated at the same time! What exactly was it about, anyways? (I had more luck with a series about a do-gooder on a super motorcycle & wearing hi-tech armor. Three seasons, either early enough that it was "before" dinner-- meaning I'm only 10 minutes late to dinner-- or "after" dinner, I was able to follow the story. Only episode I recall had a nefarious scientist "simplify" his victims' brains, making them his slaves. Nighthawk? Streethawk? Something like that!) Watched some Gary Shandling Show. America's Most Wanted was a long-running hit on Fox. It was still on when 9/11 happened! Idiotically, I turned it on that week, when I was burnt out from all the coverage, but should've known better: instead of the scheduled episode, Walsh & his camera crew were at Ground Zero, interviewing the construction workers (cutting up the tangled steel), firefighters, police & FBI agents working the active crime site.

Yeah, I remember China Beach well and really loved that show. That and Tour of Duty were two of my favorite later 80s shows.

Fun fact. Just the 10 of us was a top 20 show in the ratings but was cancelled due to corporate politics at ABC. They wanted the TGIF lineup to be produced by the same production company. But it did have a long life in syndication.

China Beach was a good show! I saw it as a person too young to quite get what it was about but I recall one episode where they threw a bunch of food on the ground and ran it over with a truck and said there’s today’s rations. And someone was sick and needed salt and they threw it on the ground, and I guess that stuck in my mind somehow.

One of the things that made _China Beach_ a hit was Marg Helbenberger and the fact she played K.C. to the hilt as the cold, callus, calculating c**t she was originally conceived as all the way through the finale. She made it impossible to feel sorry for her..and that was the point Viewers were supposed to wish she met a bad end before the show was over.. and then be pissed she survived. Dana Delaney as McMurphy, though and Jeff Kober as "Dodger", though.. they were the heart and soul of the show.
