I'm a ...I agree on the later seaons of M*A*S*H. I'm a fan of all of the character replacements--I like Col. Potter more than Henry Blake, I like B.J. more than Trapper, and I like Charles more than Frank Burns. It helps that the show was nicer to Charles than it was to Frank. Frank had no (or almost no) humanizing characteristics, but Charles was given the chance to grow as a person and show real humanity. That said, I'm always going to be a fan of Father Mulcahy.<br /><br />Seasons 3-5 are the sweet spot for The X Files. There are good individual episodes in later seasons (watch the fourh episode in season 11, for instance), but I won't watch the mythology episodes again. And the movies are not at all required viewing.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-71003931594783679672023-01-07T21:57:32.343-06:002023-01-07T21:57:32.343-06:00It's a bit schizophrenic, but it's worth s...It's a bit schizophrenic, but it's worth seeing.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-68349852879172629392023-01-07T21:11:27.816-06:002023-01-07T21:11:27.816-06:00LOVE M*A*S*H and it does hold up. Part of that was...LOVE M*A*S*H and it does hold up. Part of that was that while there were constants in Hawkeye and Margaret Holihan the cast was fluid with major characters coming and going keeping it from becoming stale. While I enjoyed the entire run I'm more of a fan of the later seasons with Col. Potter and Charles Winchester. They were deeper, more complex men than Henry Blake and Frank Burns. <br /><br />I also finally got around to The X-Files in 2022. I'm not a big sci-fi guy to begin with but so many people have such affection for it I've always been a little curious. I happened upon it just as it was starting to show the first episode, so I DVR'd faithfully until the end and it was okay. The early years better than the end but having seen it I'll never return to the show and the movie was one step further than I care to go. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-7373177736376742302023-01-07T17:42:10.826-06:002023-01-07T17:42:10.826-06:00It's been a long time since I've seen Dead...It's been a long time since I've seen <i>Dead Presidents</i> as I do remember liking it a lot. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
