M*A*S*H

Another year or 2 of Friday Night Lights (at or near the same level of quality) and this will change. Funny thing is that I didn't care for the movie.

Friday Night Lights

I am a big Altman fan so MASH to me was better both in book and movie form. It wasn't a perfect movie by any standard, but I absolutely hated the watered down TV show. Hey, Altman's movies aren't for everyone.

I automatically thought of M*A*S*H because I keep forgetting there was a Buffy movie (that I've never seen.)

M*A*S*H. One of the best series ever and actually better than the film that inspired it, imho.

The movie came before the cartoons, right? I put TMNT the cartoon right up there with James Bond, Jr.
