Mine has to be… SPACE: Above and Beyond
I saw a post a few days, maybe weeks, back and had some spare time so here it goes.
What a show. This program out of all the military type shows that I have seen was the closest to the real service. Ok, so it was in the future and in space, the lingo and terminology were very accurate. I spent some time as a ground pounder and I was hooked from the first episode I saw. It disappoints me that it was so short lived.
I think the demise was the “accuracy” of the story telling. There were hardly ever any touchy-feally scenes, the earth had been beaten to standing on one leg, and war is hell. I’m betting the audience was limited to folks like me. Advertising and commercials, come on. If the rest are also like I am, I don’t shop, when I need something I go and get it, 5 minutes in the store and I’m out.
Show was targeted at too limited an audience. I was walking around work the other day thinking “chiggy von Richthofen”, where the hell did that come from. Until I remembered the post, Oh yeah. Funny as hell them painting the skull and cross bones on the nose, LOL.
Anyway, votes for other favorite military shows?
