Set in vietnam?

I noticed that the article is categorized in Category:Television_shows_set_in_Vietnam but I don't think that category is right for the article. While many episodes discussed the Vietnam War (especially in the first season), and at least two characters went to Vietnam, I don't think any episodes were set in Vietnam. Even if there were, the show is generally set in the United States. If there was a category Category:Television shows about the Vietnam War, that might work. Although a category with that name would probably be for shows featuring soldiers in Vietnam, rather than a show about characters affected by it. I'm also not sure if the Vietnam War was discussed enough throughout the series to justify a category about it. Nine hundred ninety-nine (talk) 22:21, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

I think putting it in a category of the latter sort you mentioned could be justified, despite the war not being exceedingly mentioned throughout the entire series, for the reason of its being one of the show's initial main premises - at the end of the first episode, they learn their neighbour Brian, Winnie's older brother, was killed in Vietnam, and the following episode is set at his funeral, at which Kevin feels guilty because rather than mourning as he ought to be, his preoccupation is fixed on lusting after the deceased's little sister. And, even though the war is discussed only periodically after that, it is still a rather important backdrop for the rest of the series..imo. Firejuggler86 (talk) 23:00, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Which recording of With A Little Help From My Friends is being used in the show?
