It is too bad. How can the cancel the best show on TV? They put it in the
deadest time slot there is and expect it to do well?

I think that this season  China Beach is at its best. The tail end of last
season was getting bad, IMHO. It was daring, but poorly done. Now with
the flashbacks they are playing it a little safer, but doing a better
job on the whole. This gives the opprotunity for all the characters
to be more devoloped. We see who they really are, and who they later 
become. The only thing I didn't like is the fact that they made
McMurphy already married, thus spoiling any future stories of her
and the Doc getting back together. (not that they have much of a
future).

I have some questions: Did the actor who plays Boonie really lose his
leg? I remember he had a leg before, and the shows where he doesn't
have a leg seem pretty realistic. ARe they doing some fancy camera
tricks, or maybe I am just easily fooled. And another one: What
happened before Nam was over? Did the Doctor and McMurphy really
get a legal marrige from the dying priest, and then what happened
after that?

And if anyone has been taping all the episodes, E-MAIL ME!

Thanks
