M*A*S*H on TVLand.
There was a "Mail Call" Marathon on Sat. and Sun. night-- all episodes focusing on letter's the doctors and nurses got. The last one I really recall watching was the one where the little kids in hawkeye's hometown write letters to the 4077th. All the letters were so sweet. Especially Hawkeye's letter from the little boy who flat-out hated him because, "All you do is make people better so they can go die" and how Hawkeye couldn't really respond to it. But the moment that really got me was the letter Charles got-- the litte girl sent him a leaf, saying, "It's fall in Maine. I don't know if you have fall in Korea, so I'm sending you the leaf from a birch tree." The letter conveyed an amazing childlike sense of faith and perception of beauty-- the leaf-- and I swear, I almost cried.
Man I'm hyper...
