#1 M*A*S*H

Okay, this one's probably a little anti-climactic. Of all the shows you've been thinking "how could x not be on the list?", M*A*S*H had to be the biggie. The gang at the 4077th took over my television every Monday night for years. And it always pissed me off that it I had to miss the first half hour of Monday Night Football (this was in the days before VCRs, kiddies). Wow, remember those days? If you didn't see a show, you missed it... >>shudder<<

The final episode remains the most watched television event in history, and deservedly so. Amazingly, it was the best episode of all of them, although in fairness it did equal five of them in length. The choke-me-up scene comes when Hawkeye and B.J. embrace for the last time before they part ways. Damn, I still can't watch that scene without losing it. (And I still can't believe B.J. didn't fly ass-over-teakettle riding that motorcycle down that hill...)

Oh, and I had a huge crush on Nurse Kelly for years.
