She's also, what, 10? Not a lot she could do.

If you say so.

That wasn't an attempt at wit, I genuinely pity you.

Thing is, even if the twist is good, once you know it - well, who cares?

Poor bastard.

I hope you didn't spend too long on that one. You keep trying and keep failing.

I agree the acting is good.

I don't know, man, but if you did watch TV for surprises you'd be disappointed. Not many shows have them, certainly not this one. I felt like I was being beaten over the head with a shovel. It tries, but it just can't be subtle. I'd only vaguely been aware of the movie, but I was thinking when watching the show…

Once was enough for me. The first couple of episodes were okay, but then they were just repeating themselves. I'm not surprised it was originally a movie - it seems much more suited to something maybe an hour and a half long. This show just felt so padded. And kind of insulting, as there's nothing complex or…

that is to say, an utter Philistine

All in the Family - premiered January 1971.
MASH - September 1972.

Dump this cuck and head for the hills.

All in the Family: 1971-1979. MASH: 1972-1983. Again, the characters in MASH were not complex. Don't hate me because I'm smarter than you, and have taste.

Trapper and Hawkeye don't want to be there, they were drafted, of course they're going to break stupid Army rules and resist authority. That resistance wouldn't make sense if they'd enlisted. They're right to go after Hot Lips and Burns, but Father Mulcahey is not ridiculed or tormented, they just see him as kind of…

You're telling me that.

All in the Family.

There were no complex characters on that show.

That sounds like a great school. I guess you can't expect a Catholic school to be good, though.

I had liked the TV show until I saw the movie - which was so superior I realized how colossally shitty the TV show really was.

Incorrect.
