February 4, 201214 yr Been having fun following some of the other movie/tv lists, so thought I'd toss this one into the mix. Which series/episode did the writers give you a "What the....?" moment? My top three all involved the death of a character. In no particular order... M*A*S*H - Colonel Henry Blake is being discharged and sent home. Happy time right? I remember actually crying when Radar came into the OR and read the notice that his plane had been shot down. Certainly not what you expect from a comedy show. 24 - Season finale (last hour) - Not only do we find out the Nina Myers is the mole inside TCU (which was somewhat of a surprise in itself) but she ends up killing Jack's wife (after Teri had spent nearly the entire year surviving the kidnapping). To me it really set the stage for the remainder of the series, that nothing was off guard. NCIS - Season 2 finale - Kate ends up taking a bullet for Gibbs, but we find out she was wearing vest and survived the shooting. And just when you let your breath out in relief...she takes one to the forehead. No coming back from that. The episode is "Twilight". The first 2 episodes of season 3 are "Kill Ari 1" and "Kill Ari 2". I watch them together back to back at least 3 or 4 times a year.
February 4, 201214 yr Could pretty much say the same thing for the entire series of St. Elsewhere. The entire show was the imagination of an austic child?!?!? Would've never guessed that one coming in a million years. My first choice. Second choice - Newhart.

February 6, 201214 yr Not exactly a plot twist, but I was pretty shocked when Coy and Vance showed up on Uncle Jessie's farm. I dunno if you meant this as a joke, but I literally LOL'd :lol:
February 6, 201214 yr I dunno if you meant this as a joke, but I literally LOL'd :lol: No, I was being serious. Talk about mixing things up :lol: Another weird change of pace was when the A-Team escaped death and started doing work for the guy in the private jet. Anyone remember that?
