Doc Shapiro Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 One of the best shows ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Although not my #1 favorite, I agree it is one of the best. I enjoy watching reruns. I must admit that I liked Trapper John better than JB. And I kinda like Sherman better than Henry. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Crimes Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I got a kick out of seeing my kids take to MASH just like I did. Wasnt so happy when they discovered Queen and tried to tell me all about them, I found them first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Mash was a great show. I never got to see the earlier episodes until they became reruns because my old man watched some other show that came on at the same time and then got on this kick that we shouldn’t have a TV in the home but I eventually got to see the whole series over the years. I could never pick a favorite character after seeing all the episodes. I will say that the original movie, which I didn’t see until like 84 or 85 was real disappointing after watching the series.

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 MASH is solid #2 to me. WKRP In Cincinnati, is my all time favorite. OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree 110% Always wondered how many times some of those scenes from that one episode had to be reshot for the show. Look'n at background, and you'll see the actors crack'n up. I remember watching that episode for the first time-Had to stop eating dinner because I was laughing so hard. OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Barleycorn, SASS #76982 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 My father hated it and would not tolerate it being watched in his house. He said there was nothing funny about the Korean War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Gulch, SASS #53035 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 This thread sure brings back some memories. Watched the final episode sitting in the NCO club at Osan AFB, ROK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saddle Up Slim Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Current programs cannot hold a candle to shows of that era including WKRP and All in the Family. Guess that's why I watch so little regular TV these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawdog Dago Dom Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I can't pass by a channel showing MASH. When my wife hears the MASH theme song from the other room, I can practically hear her eyes rolling. I get told to "get out of the past," (but SHE must watch Cary Grant movies on TMC, and those are way older). I learned to keep quiet and take the dog for a long walk when Cary appears. I eat better that way. Very few new shows I care for, but "Last Man Standing" with Tim Allen was in my top ten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Agree that NC is among the best. I would put it in the top 3 shows ever shown on TV. The only other show I would add is Red Skelton. OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulp, SASS#28319 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Loved the movie, never cared for the series. Alan Alda is just not Hawkeye Pierce IMHO. "Suicide is Painless" is one of my all time favorite songs. I used to whistle it at work, one day the boss said, "Can you whistle something a bit less depressing?"

Pulp, SASS#28319 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Interesting trivia about the theme song. Director Robert Altman asked his teen age son to write a song about suicide for the movie. Son wrote the song, has made many times more money on the rights to the song than Robert made as director of the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tell Sackett SASS 18436 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Well that seems fair. Good song, bad director. I think Altman is one of the most overrated directors of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seamus McGillicuddy Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 MASH was that rare bird; both a great movie and a great TV show. Was watching the movie on the tube one night some years back and said to myself, “Funniest war movie ever!” Next night Dr Strangelove is on and I think, “OK, maybe MASH is the SECOND funniest ever.” Seamus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Dan Troop 70448 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Mash had many poignant moments that related. Remember Potters toast to old soldiers? It reminded me of the many we lost. Klinger's bringing orphans to the unit and seeing they are afraid of anyone in uniforms. I remember a time were I also was afraid of any uniform. The show showed what some used, comedy, to stay sane in a war and seeing what destruction weapons of war does and did to humanity. It was one of the best. Have it on DVD and we watch many times episodes over and over. MT This episode stands out, for me the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 You reckon they uglied her up for the first shows, or purtied her up for the later ones? She was sure a lot better looking after they dumped Frank. S'pose they stuck in Sally Kellerman to see if we was payin' attention? Or maybe they weren't.

Dakota Rebel, SASS# 58412 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I just watched the one with BJ's anniversery, and how Hawkeye covertly made a tape of his memories of his time with his wife. Then had his wife send a video to him, and tied it to the recording. When I was in RVN, most of my squad mates were like me, single and about 19. Most were single. Some got married shortly before they shipped over. A war zone is not a good place to grow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
