Roll Out
For the
Ludacris song, see
Rollout (My Business) Roll Out! was a failed sitcom that aired Friday evenings on
CBS during the
1973-1974 television season. It was the network's effort to cash in on the success of
M*A*S*H by putting out another Army comedy. Instead of Army medics, Roll Out! highlighted the pratfalls of Army supply drivers. The series was set during
World War II and was based, in part, upon a 1952 movie called Red Ball Express. Among the few recognizable stars in Roll Out! were
Ed Begley, Jr. as Lt. Robert W. Chapman,
Garrett Morris, as "Wheels" and Darrow Igus (later of ABC's late-nite comedy show
Fridays) as "Jersey." The series attempted to use the World War II setting as a commentary on race relations, just as M*A*S*H's
Korean War setting was also a commentary on the
Vietnam War. The show had to compete against
ABC's
The Odd Couple in the same Friday night time slot and never really had a chance. Roll Out! was cancelled after one season.
