#3: The Gallant Men (1962-1963)

Before M*A*S*H, The Gallant Men brought World War II stories to life, focusing on American soldiers bravely fighting in Italy. It was a mix of drama and patriotism from a different era.

The Gallant Men combined elements of propaganda and war drama. Despite its patriotic appeal, its popularity waned as the Vietnam War made audiences less receptive to wartime narratives.
