A good number entered careers in television, with many finding work in children's and family programs, writing for shows like \u003ci\u003eRocky and Bullwinkle, Lassie,\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFlipper\u003c\/i\u003e. Many also wrote adult sitcoms such as \u003ci\u003eHogan's Heroes,The Donna Reed Show, The Dick Van Dyke Show, M*A*S*H, Maude,\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAll in the Family\u003c\/i\u003e. Ultimately, many returned to Hollywood in the sixties and seventies to work creatively on films that contained a dose of the radical politics found in communism, films that influenced the creative outburst of that decade. The list of impressive films from the survivors of HUAC includes \u003ci\u003eBridge on the River Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia,\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMidnight Cowboy.
