But, Mr. Bear ......... great idea for a thread, it does not make my blood pressure spike like the virus threads.
I hadn't really thought about that one-or-the-other feeling. But I think I can understand it. Do you feel that one might ruin the other for you or something along those lines?

And just because I started this thread doesn't mean I've read and watched a whole bunch of book/movie combos. Heheh. Luckily the ones I have I've really liked both.

Another that comes to mind is the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Both are just wonderful. The first movie...The Fellowship of the Ring...is one my all-time-favorites list. But all three books and movies are really good. (2newyorkers...does this count as a series. Not television of course, but still a trilogy of movies/books. )

And by the way, Ms. Amee, thanks for the kind words regarding the thread. Yes...I get to where I just want to read about anything other that the C word.
