Worse, she made no attempt to look like a 1941 woman.
The major misstep the series producers made was the character of Jackie Knox, the ditzy, clumsy and thoroughly self-centered daughter of the base's commanding officer. As my fellow reviewer noted, MacArthur wasn't even at Pearl Harbor at this time, so that was a major historical misstep that was never corrected. Bogg and Jeffrey are not trying to prevent the attack on Pearl Harbor, just ensure that General Douglas MacArthur survives it so he can lead American troops to victory over the course of the war. I remember best Rod Serling's "The Time Element" where William Bendix tries to warn the disbelieving about the imminent attack. The Decemattack on Pearl Harbor has long been a favorite of time-travel stories. Such was the life of a no-cable, pre-VCR television addict circa 1983. Sunday mornings would find this sabbath-scorning reprobate skipping services just to enjoy WPIX's once-dependable 11:30 airing of an Abbott & Costello cinematic classic, during which he pored over the pages of Newsday's TV supplement, plotting the coming week's viewing.
Late nights and into the wee small hours of the morning frequently found him bleary-eyed, stirring another mug of Taster's Choice while taking in post-Action News reruns of The Odd Couple, Honeymooners, Star Trek, Twilight Zone, and Barney Miller.
Sadly, this cathode-ray crazed manchild counted among his closest friends Crazy Eddie, the Man from APEX Tech, and Pathmark pitchman James Karen.
After school it was Gilligan's Island, the Brady Bunch, and perhaps WABC's 4:30 Movie (especially when it was Godzilla or Planet of the Apes weeks). WNEW, WOR, and WPIX provided him an education in film history spanning the 1930s through the 1970s, from Fred Astaire to the Five Deadly Venoms. He grew up on Long Island, where he idled away his youth reading comic books, measuring out his life with coffee spoons, and consuming mind-boggling quantities of Drake's and Entenmann's cakes, Wise Potato Chips and C&C Cola whilst watching hour upon hour of television. He is an unrepentant addict of classic TV, films, and old-time radio. Gary Peterson is a 54-year-old expat New Yorker living on the lam in Omaha since 1994.
