I grew up on that show, but have in the years past revised my opinion of it. I think Futurama had a great take on it when they showed the characters watching an episode of "Mobile Robot Army Hospital". The "Hawkeye" character was sitting there up to his neck in blood, lamenting the horrors of war, then turns around and says something like "Hand me that whoopie cushion over there" and spanks a nurse on the back side. However, it's good to know it inspired someone to do something good with their lives...
