I miss MASH

[casty33]

Since I can't find it anywhere on my Cablevision, I just felt like complaining to this good group to read what other MASH fans have to say about no network picking it up. We keep getting tripe like The Nanny, and Rose Ann but no Hawkeye, BJ, Klinger, Radar, Hot Lips, Colonel Potter or anybody else in one of the best shows ever produced. I even miss Frank Burns.

My dad's favorite show when I was a kid. Aside from all things baseball, watching M*A*S*H was the thing I spent the most time with him doing.

Casty, it's on Cablevision on ME TV at 7 and 7:30 every night. Where do you live?

Cranberry, forgive Casty. Casty is like a captain who sends out to Chicago for ribs and forgets to order the coleslaw.

cranberry, I live in Dumont, NJ, and I couldn't find METV anywhere. And Joe, I wish I had those ribs right now, cole slaw or no cole slaw.

Jesus, that's good.

As much as I love the old MASH reruns, the second Radar announces that Henry Blake has been killed, I don't need to see another episode.

Knew a few things about McLean Stevenson but went back to look at something and saw this:

"Grandfather was Vice-President Adlai E. Stevenson, who served under President Grover Cleveland from 1893 to 1897."

I've never seen a full episode of the show. I was too young.

Does it hold up? You always hear jokes being made about them having 70s haircuts in a war movie taking place in the 1950s.

The communists have won.

I think so.

Well, I was 8 or 9 when it went off the air.

I have seen episodes, and like many of the sitcoms of the 70s & 80s, it wasn't really funny. The movie was, but the show? People got invested in the characters, but I never laughed. I admit I haven't seen nearly all of them.

The movie was awesome. I still refer often to "The Pros from Dover."

 

[Chef2]

OK:
Blake or Potter?
Trapper or Honeycutt?
Charles or Frank Burns Eats Worms?

 

[Rosie]

I grew up watching MASH, and one of my favorite memories of going to Washington, D.C., was getting to see the MASH exhibit at the Smithsonian.
We have METV here, and I get to take in an episode here and there. Does the show hold up? I think most definitely so.
And every single time this beat crime reporter sees the Henry Blake dies episode, I tear up.
Every single time, going back to the original airing.

It wasn't supposed to be a slapstick comedy.

Potter, Honeycutt and Charles were the "B" team. I don't watch those reruns.

 

[Mr. Sunshine]

Potter could hang with the originals, IMO.

Potter could hang with the originals, IMO.

As could Honeycutt, IMO.
