M*A*S*H
Simon brought the TV show M*A*S*H into our marriage. To me, it was just that boring old show that was always on when I wanted to be watching something cooler as a kid. Oh, how wrong I was. We proceeded to slowly collect all 11 seasons (we didn't have cable, so we had a TV-on-DVD bill every month instead). I was pregnant when we watched the episode where Radar leaves, and I sobbed and sobbed. Eleven seasons is a lot of TV, and we tried to spread it out...taking breaks to wait for seasons to be given as birthday gifts.....and to have a baby and deal with that adjustment. Then after about 2 years, we arrived at the last disk of the last season. That was eightish months ago, and we're frozen. We can't bring ourselves to finish the quest, and I wonder if we ever will. There's no guilt for me associated with this unfinished project....just sadness. And if we ever do watch the end, I bet we'll just start right over from the beginning.

Every time I watch the last episode I tear up. It's such a good show.
i just checked, and the finale aired on february 28th in 1983....we should totally have a party and watch it. a M*A*S*H mash!
Loved M*A*S*H.
Other TV on DVD musts:
Firefly
Battlestar Galactica
Veronica Mars
and if you can handle the swears, Curb Your Enthusiasm.
west wing has great writing, too.
Firefly is great.
and a mash party would be brilliant.
i'll supply the tissues
I have seen all eleven seasons :)
Annie...this moment made me think of this blog. I saw a to do list that I started making earlier today but didn't finish writing down everything and thought "to do list, I will finish you later"...how will I finish the items on the list if I am procrastinating making the list? Oh the irony of it all...
Anyway, I loved MASH as a kid, a total staple in our family TV re-run repertoire.
kristin...i do that all the time! but then, of course, i can't remember what i was going to write down. ignorance is bliss, i guess. :)
