Ok, it's a drama about a bunch of soldiers in Vietnam from the early nineties (maybe late 80's)
The theme tune was "Paint it black" by the Rolling Stones.
That's about it folks ( oh, and it was on really late here in the UK)
Anyone help?

I can picture the helicopters flying on T.V. while "Paint It Black" is playing, but I thought it was China Beach also.

I saw just a few episodes of one Vietnam show that focused on the personal lives of the soldiers and their familes.
All I remember is that their was one storyline where a soldier got a lot of shit from his platoon-mates about falling for a Vietnamese waitress when they were out getting shit-faced. And that the scenes involving his teenaged younger siblings back home in the US were done, IMHO, quite well.
Somewhat gritty, but fairly Hollywood as well...
I think the show got cancelled fairly quickly. It was of late '90s vintage if I wasn't mistaken. Two-word name. Some two-word name akin to "American Beauty" (although obviously that wasn't it).
Any thoughts?
