China Beach

  • Watchlist

This Emmy-winning drama did a fine job delivering a female perspective on Vietnam War experiences, mostly through the character of dedicated Army nurse Colleen McMurphy. Its eerie theme song, the Supremes' 'Reflections,' set a perfect tone for its mixture of wartime horrors and emotional upheavals.

Ask Matt: Glee, Sons of Anarchy, Fringe, Revolution, Dance, and More

Send questions and comments to askmatt@tvguidemagazine.com and follow me on Twitter! Question: I am so mixed about the new Glee. I really like the New York storyline. I love seeing Rachel and Kurt's adventure and growth in the big city. It seems like a breath of fresh air compared to the mundane life in Ohio. It seems the Ohio storyline is just recycling old storylines with carbon copies of old characters. Do you think Glee will just abandon McKinley altogether after this season, because I don't think I can handle another season of the Glee Club trying to go to Nationals. — Lauren
