I liked it until around 6 or so then I started to loathe it.  Always thought my hungarian grandpa could play the accordian better lol! Always tried to do the popping thing Welk would do with his thumb.  The theme song is forever though stuck in my brain.

For thou art with me; thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of Juan Valdez
Thou anointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over
Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of coffee forever.

Hey, don't be dissing China Beach, yo! It's a good show, I like Dana Delaney, thought she was brilliant as a nurse.

*sniff* S'ok, you're entitled to your furry opinions. I guess I liked it because it shows the 'female' side of the story. There's not a lot of war movies that concentrated on the women's side.

I would have enjoyed China Beach more if it was written like MASH.
I mean, a comedy about a medical unit during the Vietnam War...that is so damn wrong that I would HAVE to watch it. But yeah, I know what you mean and Dana was pretty amazing. Where is she now??

I don't know but the last time I saw her was on Battlestar Gallatica as a suicidal woman on one of the fleets. Her performance was very good as I recall.

Erm...suicidal woman?
I don't remember that and neither does IMDB HRM    :O
I keep thinking she's in that show about witches but I think I'm dead wrong.
