Toward the end, when Klinger is hearing various disembodied voices talking, I was the person who said something like, "I don't love her now. It's all over between us." Believe it or not, I'm still receiving occasional paychecks for that (and for a few other minuscule speaking roles I had on M*A*S*H).<br /><br />Although M*A*S*H was very good to me, it was never a favorite show of mine. However, I did (and do) love 'ALIAS SMITH AND JONES' (1971-1973), starring Pete Duel and Ben Murphy. It was loosely based on the movie 'BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID', and although it didn't last long (Duel committed suicide), it had some brilliant scripts and I consider it the best Western TV series ever. (I own the entire series on DVD.)<br /><br />'ALIAS SMITH AND JONES' is easily my favorite TV series based on a movie.<br /><br />~ D-FensDogG<br /><b><a href="http://stmccpresentsbattleofthebands.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">STMcC Presents BATTLE OF THE BANDS</a></b>Stephen T.

I recall the few episodes I watched as being underwhelming. And I've always loved the Pink Panther cartoons. Whimsical and smart alecky!<br /><br />MASH and The Odd Couple are both obvious favourites.<br /><br />Things were much simpler back in the day when there were only three major U.S. TV networks. Now, with all the choices, things are more convoluted and difficult to follow. I believe there is at least one if not more series based on the Star Wars franchise. And for some reason, I'm thinking there is a Jay and Silent Bob cartoon series based on two of my favourite characters first introduced in the movie "Clerks."

It's not the actor's fault, Linville played him perfectly but where Frank was a puffed up dolt Charles, though an egomaniac was a solid physician and a much more rounded person. I also liked Col. Potter more than Henry Blake not to say I disliked him either. <br /><br />The production team was one of the best at replacing existing characters with new ones who might have changed the rhythm of the show but never broke the feeling of it. As it changed it always felt very organic and made sense that over the long period the show covered that there would be staff movement.<br /><br />That dream episode is one of the most powerful. I have a big soft spot for the episode in the last season when they finally turned the spotlight of Nurse Kellye. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-32870649247047610982020-07-30T15:25:25.513-04:002020-07-30T15:25:25.513-04:00Oh my!

My mother made the costume. There is a picture somewhere.<br /><br />I watched the Starman series. I think. <br /><br />Okay, without looking at the other comments, let me see if I can think up three. 12 Monkeys comes to mind. It was on SyFy channel. It was weird, but it stuck the ending, so that made it all worthwhile. Ah, then there's Frequency. Loved the movie. They gender flipped the lead in the show. Only lasted a season, but I loved it. (I even did one of my Wednesday TV show posts about it.) For a third... I'm drawing a blank, so I'll go with one of the cartoons, like Aladdin. That was more a continuation of the movie.Liz A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531953467834426316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-1685387369809318752020-07-30T14:52:07.088-04:002020-07-30T14:52:07.088-04:00I missed all three series!

Even <i>MASH</i> is a show that I watched very few episodes of. <br /><br />I'm kind of stumped with this topic. Even the shows mentioned in the comments so far didn't initially occur to me. I think maybe it's partly because I didn't watch much in the way of TV series from the 70's until now so nothing much registers for me. And actually, unless I've specifically heard of a source material, I don't know the origins of a lot of movies or TV shows. <br /><br />Arlee Bird<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-65220261751355855332020-07-30T11:51:48.833-04:002020-07-30T11:51:48.833-04:00Wow, I picked one cartoon you like and you are luc...Wow, I picked one cartoon you like and you are lucky to re-watch the Planet of the Apes show. Starman was good but didn’t get a chance to grow.. my head must have been up my ass because I would have chose 2 of your 3 if I had my brain working. We still watch MASH every chance we get and it is so interesting how the show changed over the years. I have to say I prefer the funnier early shows before Alan Alda got all moral. That being said there are some brilliant later episodes like the dream one and the one where Klinger is sick and see the dead soldier. I do love Charles. The Odd Couple is great and one I would love to watch again. Both men were wonderful and became good friends off screen. I remember the commercials they made about chips. Tony Randall got the job for his friend Jack Klugman after Jack had throat cancer surgery and he could not find a job. Alice is one show I used to watch but am not sure I would get into it.

I'm almost through. <br /><br />I liked the Starman series too. The movie was terrific and the show had real promise but was so short-lived unfortunately. <br /><br />Bunches of choices this time out, I picked three old favorites that I still watch on occasion.<br /><br />M*A*S*H* (1972-1983)-During the Korean conflict surgeon Benjamin “Hawkeye” Pierce (Alan Alda) and head nurse Margaret “Hot Lips” Holihan (Loretta Swit) diligently work to save lives and their sanity with grit and humor as colleagues both friend-surgeons “Trapper John” McIntire (Wayne Rogers) & BJ Hunnicutt (Mike Farrell) and foe-Frank Burns (Larry Linville) & Charles Winchester (David Ogden Stiers)- and many others pass through. Based on the 1970 Altman film this serio-comic series ran for 12 exemplary years. <br /><br />The Odd Couple (1970-1975)-Separated from their wives neat freak Felix Unger (Tony Randall) and slovenly Oscar Madison (Jack Klugman) share a New York apartment. Though the habits of each drive the other to distraction their deep abiding friendship makes them stick together. Randall & Klugman share the kind of chemistry you just can’t manufacture. Based on the Neil Simon film of the same name that starred Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. <br /><br />Alice (1976-1985)-Recently widowed Alice Hyatt (Linda Lavin) heads off with her young son Tommy for a fresh start as an aspiring singer. She gets as far as Phoenix where she finds a job at Mel’s, a roadside diner. With a boisterous group of co-workers including blunt and sassy waitress Flo (Polly Holliday) she tries to pursue her dream while dealing with everyday misadventures. Based on Scorsese’s “Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore”.<br /><br />joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-71693668625368393772020-07-30T07:45:24.033-04:002020-07-30T07:45:24.033-04:00I can never think of these.
