I really enjoy this program. Maybe because I was around in 1973 and remember what it was like. Vietnam, gays called fairies and queers, lots of hair, bell-bottoms, sideburns, women were second class citizens and were just starting to get jobs other than teacher or secretary. I was a token woman back then as a merchandiser and had to face discrimination. Men didn't understand I was just trying to support my four kids. I was always being told that I was taking food from men's families. It was hard but worth it. I never saw the BBC version so cannot compare. I hope it stays around long enough to develop a following. ABC don't yank it - remember MASH! This is well written and the actors are all great. I am so sick of those cheap "reality" programs. At last, a program with a story line and characters,
score 9/10
