so fitting you'd pair those two together. two such lovely themes with an huge chunk of lonely underfoot, but also two shows that played at 7 or 7:30 PM during our childhood (mash on 38, for some reason the memories are always of mash transitioning into bruins games; taxi on 56). for some reason those times always felt really interstitial to me, like the gap between the end of the day and the beginning of the night, which was an end in itself.
