Trapper John, MD?

No. Trapper John was technically a spin off of the movie for legal and royalty reasons. It was a good show from what I remember of it.

There was a series on for maybe one season that had Hawkeye and Colonel Potter and a few other characters settling into life back in the States. It was bad. Of course I was only 9 or 10 when it was on.

I think it also had Jamie Farr in it.

OK, I cheated. It was called After MASH. How cheesy is that?

Yeah, Jamie Farr was in it. Actually, I think Hawkeye only made a few guest appearances.

JHyde, give me a warning for driving this thread so far off topic.

And let's get back on topic.

I must admit I loved how The Office wrapped up with its Christmas special (I love a Christmas special! The best of being British). I still tear up a little bit when Dawn unwraps her pencils from Tim, and I love that Brent told Finch where to stick it.

And my run of bad puns continues - "wrapped up". I swear, I don't even know I'm doing it half the time.

As I said in the tv series thread one of my favourite was Life on Mars, for me the perfect ending to this series, the music was great, the final sequence is just perfect!

Did you see the US version of Life On Mars? It was hard for me to watch, but I loved the way they ended that series. It's a completely different spin on the title.

No I didn't, to tell the truth, I couldn't, I've seen half episode 1, and some more sequences, but I loved LOM UK and watching the same scene with different actors was very weird, I loved the original ones: John Simm, Liz White, Phil Glenister... It was odd to watch blonde Annie...
They did a spanish version too, but couldn't watch it either! Tongue

But I did see the ending in YT, Big Grin

, I was just curious about it, totally different Big Grin

yeah! Another vision of the title!! Tongue

(But still prefer the original one Wink

)

I'm reading small bits of this thread carefully, just in case... so Should I have to add The Shield to my list? A lot of work to do (watch)!! Cool

Yes watch The Shield, but I will warn you, The Shield is a dark show.

The ending to Life on Mars if noone else has mentioned it.

Beautiful.

I think that one goes down as Most Unexpected ending for me. Loved it though.

I think it was the best way to end LOM, yes, it's sad to
