Hitting Up The Reruns

Wow. So it is currently a long time since this plinky prompt was posted. Unfortunately the last couple haven't been particularly suited to me. I can't remember a good strong case of dejavu (though I have done it before) and I have no great interest in children's books. So instead I figured I'll talk about reruns.



I love a good rerun. I guess most people do. However I don't actually watch that much television these days. I couldn't tell you what is on at the 8.30 time slot on any channel on any night of the week. In fact they could have changed the time for the news and I wouldn't know it... its has been weeks (provided you count the half an hour watching 'its academic' in the common room (a childrens 4pm quiz show) if not its been far longer).



However to kick-off my list of programs I can watch again and again (typically on my computer or via dvd) I am going to say the one show who I can guarantee is still on at 5pm every weekday...

M*A*S*H*
I always loved M*A*S*H*. I don't even know what it is about it that makes it so easy to just watch and watch. Even when you know most of the jokes and the outcome of every story line its just a good time. I must not be alone in this, it has managed to run perpetually for as long as I can remember - round and round in circles. It will be a sad day when MASH is kicked off air.

House
It isn't quite old enough that reruns typically get played on tv (unless its a football night) but I am happy enough to watch through the episodes again and again via DVD. I just love watching the character of House and how he interacts with everybody around him... it doesn't get old.

Dad's Army
I'm starting to see a pattern here. I watch a lot of old war time sit coms... Perhaps that's why I joined the military... I hope not it certainly isn't a particularly good reflection of it. Though at times - maybe it is.



Basically I don't watch that much TV at all. This list was surprisingly hard to come up with. There are other shows which I watch on and off... But there is no 'if its on I'll watch it feel about them'... I'd much rather be reading a good cheap mills and boon a second time...
