You know, I think 'A Handful of Canadians' is the only SN story I've read. And I enjoyed it too. I'm seriously considering downloading some Sports Night episodes.
Babe, totally. If you can download them, do it. *Great* series. Not well-suited to TV, but a *great* series. (As explanation, it's too continuity/character driven for a sitcom; too humourous for a drama. If it had been hour long format, it might have been more easily marketable.) You should watch. Every WW fan should watch. It's not as serious/political as WW, but it's that same veiw of humour, the same type of well-rounded characters. Man, you should totally watch it if at all possible.
Although, if I'm really pimping it, I should fin the other SN/WW crossovers to tempt you with, shouldn't I? There's a *very* good Sam/Dan one somewhere that I love, and there's a Josh/Dan one that many people love. (I have issues with the Sam in the piece. Most of it is great, wonderfully Sorkin, but I have issues with Sam.) There's a gen crossover piece of the WWers going to a SN party for Isaac (punishment handed down by the Pres), which totally rocks too.
I should see if I can find them.
As for MASH, when I first saw the series I was way too young, and totally bemused by it. Then I saw it in my teens, and fell for it. It's great fun, even if it didn't really measure up to the film (heh, just realised I'm assuming you meant the series...)
Bwah! Yeah, most of the time I totally forget about the film. It's a good film, but Alan Alda's Hawkeye stole my heart before I watched it. Hence, I think it's a good film, but I love it for starting the series, but not so much for it's own sake. (Similar to my attitudes to the original Buffy film.)
So, how are you feeling today? Did you get to bed last night???
Bed at midnight. Up at 7.30am. Feeling shocking, but should catch up on work before boss returns tomorrow. (Yet, I'm not. I'll do it this arvo.)
