Earl Holliman as DePayster in the 1970 television movie classic TRIBES, Korea Vietnam vet, four Purple Hearts, looks like he's got a Army Solders Medal ribbon there next to it,

Right you are, came out in 1967 so they did a good job there in the depiction. Still looking with no success for of Darren McGavin (Drake) and his rack.

Jensen Ackles as Col. Winchester in one of "Supernatural" episodes (Season 8, ep.20). All messed up for 1951.

Fails are: Colonels insignia on shirt's collar (think he got USMC or Navy shirt), NDSM ribbon (and wrong order of precedence I believe), merrowed edged SSI.

More importantly on the patch was that this one was not around in 1951 :lol:

And the nameplate!! Couldn't happen in 1951 too :)

That's right, plastic nameplates of this type start be seen starting in the 56-57 period, these plastic types being among a few different types of plates, fobs and tags in use, till the Army put the Whoa Nelly on them and standardized the plastic type as thee type for then on.

Might be wrong but isn't Gunny Highways ribbons a bit out of precedence as regards to the Navy Achievement, Navy commendation, Purple Heart and the Bronze Star? And also from what is said in the movie about his conduct, I don't see that there should have been that many stars on the Good Conduct Ribbon.

The ribbons are in the correct order for when the movie was set (1983). The Purple Heart wasn't elevated above the Achievement Medals until 1985.

How can we not recognize this classic..... Not quite Hollywood but Warner Bros.Television is probably close enough. (adapted from and credit to Wikipedia)
