Day 12 of 30 Day Television Challenge

The prompt: Character that you initially found annoying but you grew to love

This is not as easy as it looks..

I'm going with...

Wes in Angel. (Note - it was in Angel that I initially found Wes annoying and grew to love the character. Actually I think Wes was possibly the best developed character on Angel.).

Starting to wonder-- do you have a photographic memory? Or are you just some kind of search engine demon? For example, I watched all of M*A*S*H, every season, and only remember bits and pieces here and there. Granted, age is catching up with me in recent times as to memory of anything, but still...

This isn't the first time I've seen you do this at these various TV/music/movie memes.

Huh.

It's a combination of half-decent memory, passable search engine skills, and slick presentation.

I remembered watching Frank's home movies from Indiana, so I searched for "Frank Burns home movies" on the internet, and found the episode.

I remembered Margaret's big speech was from Mariette Hartley's episode, and the entire Hawkeye/Hot Lips argument was waiting for me on the internet. (Simple cut and paste.)

As Ted Baxter once said: "You know what's great about this country? You don't have to be witty or clever, as long as you can hire someone who is."

Meanwhile - I watched all the episodes multiple times and wrote a paper, transcribing various speeches from episodes re-winded to get it right in the 1980s, when I was writing a paper on it. And I can't remember Frank's home movies or the speech or that Mariette Hartley was even in it.

I just remember it generally.

ETA: Do you have a photographic memory or are just some kind of search engine demon? LOL! Going with search engine demon, cjl.
