M*A*S*H marathon on the Hallmark channel
I still say this is one of the best series ever made.

1. Woo-hoo!
Thanks for the heads up.

DUing and watching M*A*S*H -- the two activities that can make me cry & laugh my ass off at practically the same time.. :P

2. When I lived in Hicksville (Jacksonville) Florida, I remember
Edited on Mon May-31-04 01:24 PM by Radicalliberal
hearing numerous women saying "I never like the Alen Alda type"
More than once I told them "Yea, It's cause you're an shallow, unfeeling, redneck female" :)

Here on Long Island we have a real town named Hicksville. It's not filled with hicks, but it is filled with repug yuppies.

11. You are SOOOOOOOOOOOO right about "Hicksville."
A former colleague of mine at the Florida Times-Onion (I spell it this way on purpose) once referred to Jacksonville as "the biggest small town in America."

I have lived In Hicksville all my life (except for 7 years in Tallahassee for grad school). How long were you in Hicksville?

4. I won't watch Hallmark...
...not even for Hawkeye. The Halls (owners of Hallmark Cards, Inc.) are GOP tools.

9. I only watch for the Sergio Leone movies.
Kind of ironic that they even play them, considering the content. I guess anything goes as long as it's white guys in cowboy hats.

6. Indeed ...
Damn near shed a tear when I watched the final episode.

Even when they changed characters (ie typically leading to jumping the shark), it was still great.

Cheers

16. You're not missing much
The only good show on here is M*A*S*H. Most everything else is the kind of stuff you find on PAX tv.
