Table: M14 Rifle in Television

I've come to realize that the M14 rifle has been a part of enough television shows that it makes sense to develop a Table to chronicle its appearances. This Table is being added to the Third Edition of M14 Rifle History and Development. I'll post my rough draft here in a few minutes. Your input is very much appreciated. TIA

Thanks for the input, kevin. I'm just capturing the original air date for each series episode with the M14. These episodes are run many times and there's no way to track every time each one was aired. History Channel rocks IMO. GI5

Hawk, I cannot find that show listed on the Military Channel web site. Is this a Battlefield Vietnam episode that aired on Discovery's Military Channel? I cannot find it in the Military Channel schedule. TIA

Here's a cold link:
