You seem to have an awful lot of problems with Tour of Duty. Why do you watch it and obsess about and come on the board and continually slam it????
We all love it and will give you a real beat down if you continue to slam our fave show. This isn't the first time this "troll" has made disparaging remarks about TOD!
: Did anyone else catch the fact that these guys
: stayed in Vietnam nearly 2 years. The show
: starts in 1967 and concludes in late 1969.
: Too long for the Tours of Duty for Ruiz and
: Purcell.
: Even with the 3 month extension for the
: instant out, it just does not add up.
:
: The final season really burned up the time.
: Single episodes were spanning weeks. What
: were the writers thinking?!
:
: This was alot like the same problem that
: faced the old "Combat" or
: "MASH" series. To make a story
: interesting, it would cover weeks in a
: single episode. Evidently the writers had
: forgotten that only a finite number of those
: weeks historically existed.
: "MASH" especially
: was terrible for this -- they actually
: turned back the clock a number of times --
: 1952 in
: season 2, but 1951 in season 5. Continuity
: error city!
