Day 3: A picture of the cast of your favorite television show
Okay okay I'm a cheater. I picked two shows. As I posted on day 1, I have a hard time making up my mind...and when I think of my favorite TV show I couldn't help but accept that both M*A*S*H and Friends popped into my mind simultaneously. But really, maybe that makes sense. Strangely, they have a lot in common and they both say something about who I am. Both have the ability to make me laugh and laugh and continue to laugh even after it's over. I cry every time I watch the series finale of either show and I'm not afraid to admit it! These two shows come from very different eras and have different value to me. M*A*S*H has a deeply rooted importance to me for its sense of humor and the significance of its bringing war into sitcom television and taking a critical but lighthearted look at how it affects those in the midst of the fighting and the absurdity of it all. Alan Alda....what can I possibly say about Alan Alda that could sum up how amazing I think he is?! And then there's Friends...which I had to beg my mom to let me watch when I was 12 years old and she thought maybe the show was a little too mature for me. This show never fails to make me laugh, and it's true that there is a Friends episode to reflect every life situation.
I have been watching both of these shows for many years and their abilities to make me laugh, cry, and think are their greatest appeals for me.
But since I wouldn't feel right not giving an honorable mention to a few other TV shows, here are my other top choices:
Boy Meets World
Six Feet Under
Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman
Freaks and Geeks
LOST
Dexter
Oh man, I forgot about Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman! I used to watch that all the time with my mom. She was in love with Sully :-)
