Stephen Bochco’s new drama series “Over There” debuts on the FX TV channel tonight. There are few political topics in America today as controversial as the war in Iraq yet the producers of “Over There” insist they are harboring no hidden agendas.

“Over There” follows a fictional combat unit on the ground in Iraq. It’s the first time a dramatic TV series has depicted a war as it is still being fought.

Tune in for a conversation with co-creator and writer Chris Gerolmo about the show and its unique place in television history.

Guests:

Chris Gerolmo, writer and co-creator of the new TV series “Over There”

Larry Gelbart, executive producer of “MASH.”
