JAG was an interesting study in current events...ala the original Star Trek series from the 60s. Many of the shows were tied into current events or actual history, then "adapted" for the tube. If you looked through the flying parts (which were usually just parts of "Top Gun" with the contrast or brightness changed it could at times be pretty entertaining.

I remember when at University, one of our psychology professors had us study Star Trek and it's correlation to the current events of the 60s (up to studying and submitting a report on "Star Trek, the motion picture). She was a real wing ding but sure made class interesting.

Both shows were campy at times, over dramatic at times, but could be thought provoking as well if you could look through the chaff.

PS. Another interesting JAG feature was its producer. He was the same guy who produced Black Sheep Squadron, Magnum PI and JAG so if you ever noticed, many of the same actors played in all three series.
