who was the movie good morning vietnam based on
Good Morning, Vietnam In 1979, Adrian Cronauer pitched a sitcom based on his experiences as an AFRS DJ. TV networks were not interested, however, because they did not see war as comedy material,[2] even though one of the most popular shows at the time was M*A*S*H. Cronauer then revamped his sitcom into a script for a TV movie of the week, which eventually got the attention of Robin Williams.[2] Very little of Cronauer's original treatment remained after writer Mitch Markowitz was brought in.[3]
