M*a*s*h

[JesusWasn'tWhite]

This is a M*A*S*H appreciation/fan thread.
I now have seasons 1 and 2 on DVD, and thoroughly enjoy the time I get to spend with Trapper, Hawkeye, Colonel Blake, Radar, Hot Lips, and Frank Burns.

Anyone else enjoy this great show?

 

[Orchids]

No. We watched and rewatched the reruns so much (my hubby is an avid fan though), that I really got quite sick and tired of it. That's just me, though.

I used to love show. Then, it got way too preachy.

I once read an interview with the real life surgeons who inspired Hawkeye and Trapper in the original book and they were pretty ____ off about how they were portrayed in the TV show.

The one said that they were proud to be there, as opposed to the show, which portrayed them as constantly whining.

I think the funniest thing I've ever seen was right after the invasion of Iraq. Wayne Rogers (pro-America), who is now retired from acting and is a commentator for FOXNews, faced off with Mike Farrell (anti-America).

In case you ever wondered who would win in a fight, Trapper or B.J., Wayne Rogers cleaned his clock.

I don't like the episodes that get really preachy. The lighthearted ones are good though.

I love M*a*s*h*my favorite character is Hawkeye and Frank Burns

My parents watch it on fox every night! And there was a MASH marathon over the Easter weekend where they played every episode!!! I don't mind the show but after watching nearly every episode 10 times (may be exaggerating a little bit) you sort of get over it. I still don't mind watching it every now and then though.

Before I move to the E.Coast in August, I want to have every season of M*A*S*H.
That'll help me get through tough times. Oh yes.

YEAH!! GREAT SHOW!!

very funny, watch with my mum and sisters fairly often, Good ole re-runs on TV!

 

[Glaz]

Seen every episode a gazillion times but never really get tired of it. I liked the first couple of seasons especially when Klinger was doing all the real outlandish stuff to get his section 8 and they had Trapper John.

By referring to Farrell as anti-America do you mean he hates everything about the country of his birth and upbringing or that he doesn't agree with Bush's view of things?

 

[MrsGnomeCrusher]

Well, back to MASH . . . I love this show. I haven't watched this in ages. I don't have cable or sat., so there's no re-runs on for me. I don't think this show ever gets old.

I mean that he lived up to his reputation as being rabidly anti-America.

Interpret that any way you like.

I would like to get the dvd collection of the series

 

[Ikantdance05]

[country woman]

I love M*A*S*H my favorite character are Frank Burns and Klinger

 

[g4goddess]

dont forget Radar and his Teddy Bear!! he's my favourite!!

 

[TurtleTape]

I started out hating this 'cuz my dad would watch it all the time, but it grew on me and now I love it! I was looking at this thread and no-one was mentioning Klinger 'til country woman. He is the funniest person there! And there is this very insignificant character, he's this korean dude that sells stolen watches and cameras and whatever else he can get his hands on, he's funny too.

 

[country woman]

The teddy bear is cute and don't forget that Mr. Howel from Gilligans Island also slept with a teddy bear too.
