"its actually quite funny."? ? ? Sheesh man it's an all time classic, I've seen the complete series twice once after the other, that was a few years ago, I'd watch it again if it was on over here smile.gif

That's weird, i think i once saw this mash thing on TV (they play it a lot over here) and as far as i remember it sucked!

Terrible actors, horrible way of showing the war in Vietnam, pathetic stories, rather easy to know what's gonna happen, etc etc

Hmz, perhaps it was another show that i saw......

M*A*S*H was a great show.

And the reason it was so bad at showing the war in Vietnam was because it was showing the war in Korea.

It was great humor. Still a great show. I don't know why other people my age don't like it.

Peoples main choice of daily shows changes with age... about 2 year intervals as they are maturing. Just wait, maybe they will watch it 2 or 4 years after you.

For instance I used to watch Seinfeld, I really enjoyed it when it first came out, but a year or more later I could predict all the humor in the show and got tired of it. Still can't watch it because I "know" what's going to happen even in episodes I haven't seen.

... is this philosophy? tounge.gif

M*A*S*H is one of the best shows of all time. But here's the ultimate question:

Who was better, B.J. or Trapper John?

You may be talking about Tour of Duty. It was from the late 80's, I think.

M.A.S.H is a great show. Sometimes it was very funny, and sometimes it was pretty sad. Something that's nice to watch before you go to bed. smile.gif

Great show! We have a channel here that plays oldies, and MASH plays like 4 times a day.

An interesting tidbit is that MASH actually ran longer than the Korean War did biggrin.gif I remember how sad it was when they ended, Hawkeye a nutcase and everyone leaving and the last view of the place all empty and barren. Very sad.

MASH is wonderful! Unfortunatly they don't show it right now in Sweden. They ran it a couple of years ago and I was glued to the television then:)

B.J was much better then trapper. smile.gif

Hawkeye was easily my favourite character, best episode was actually a two parter I think? When he went mad, and was telling the shrink how they were on the bus and there was a chicken on a woman's knee which kept clucking, there were North Koreans all about so they had to keep totally quiet but this chicken wouldn't stop clucking, the woman put her hands over the chicken to stop it clucking, it stopped clucking and it stopped living, it wasn't a chicken sad.gif

That's why I loved MASH so much, it wasn't just a dumb comedy, it was also a very deep, dark drama at times, wonderful show, doubt we'll ever see anything like it again confused.gif

I thought it would be obvious what it was, it was her baby sad.gif Hawkeye in his mind had changed it to a chicken because the truth was too painful sad.gif

my favourite character is B.J.

he has to see all this horror but he never loses control and always keeps a clear head.
