LET’S HAVE A BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE OF THE JAG SEASON 2

Donald P. Bellisario, the creator of JAG, served in the U.S. Marine Corps for four years before landing his first network television job as a story editor for the World War II-era series Baa Baa Black Sheep. In this position, he developed a habit of advocating a consistent pro-military stance in a field where he believed the “antiwar” and “anti soldier” mentality to be the norm. Not just one but three of the primary characters of Magnum P.I., of which Bellisario was a co-creator, parodied the stereotype of “crazed Vietnam veterans” prevalent in the post-Vietnam war era. After his television series Quantum Leap was canceled, Bellisario transferred his production contract from Universal to Paramount, run by former Universal executive Kerry McCluggage. He then started writing a one-shot screenplay about a murder mystery on board a Navy aircraft carrier from the U.S, where the victim was a woman and naval aviator.
