One thing I take issue with is the claim this show is "too late" to examine the Iraq War. Traditionally, people have waited until a war is over before analyzing it — think M*A*S*H, The Best Years of Our Lives, All Quiet on the Western Front.

If it goes to 25 seasons, they'll release the whole series in a box set the next week. It will have 100 discs and cost one thousand dollars, and it will sell a million copies in one hour.
