In a quirk of the standings, this is sort of a rematch of the Round 2 bracket where both these series ousted Laverne & Shirley and MASH had a huge lead.

"There's no one singing war songs now like people used to do;
No 'Over There,' no 'Praise the Lord,' no 'Glory Hallelu';
Perhaps at last we've asked ourselves what we should have asked before;
With the pain and death this madness brings, what were we ever singing for?"
-- Father Mulcahy

Co-sign.

[pathoftheturtle]

Well, it's a true classic to people with fair attention spans.

[fernandito]

Or to those who prefer mind numbingly boring shows.

For a minute there I thought someone was talking to himself

Very mischievous.

Oh, I never found M*A*S*H boring, at all. In that same episode I just quoted (it's a great one) Hawkeye and B.J. have a big argument about who's funniest. Finally, they ask Klinger, and he says, "It's no contest: neither one of you. You guys don't even make the first cut. I'm trying to tell my uncle what kind of a place I work in: doctors, nurses saving lives. Well, I got a commanding officer who dresses me up in his clothes and sits me on a horse named Sophie so he can paint his own picture. There's a priest writing war ditties, and a snooty Major who pays me twenty bucks to follow him out in the woods and watch him blow up a pigeon with a landmine. And if that doesn't do it for ya, I got a head nurse who shoots unarmed luggage. All you two guys do is walk around all day telling jokes. What the hell's so funny about that?" LOL
