The War Biz WarriorEpisode Number: 14 Season Num: 1 First Aired: Tuesday January 4, 1977 Prod Code: 46212 |
TV Rated: Not Rated (most likely TV-PG or TV-14)
A Hollywood actor, Rod Towers, is sent to the South Pacific on a media tour to boost morale and polish his image of a strong hero type. He is stationed with the Black Sheep, most of whom are thrilled to have a star among them. But the thrill soon wears off as he is given 'command' of the squadron, though it is mostly ceremonial. And he takes credit for fighting action when he's actually watching it from a safe distance away.
