M*A*S*H

[Bobbey]

I got this idea from the Gilmore Girls thread...

M*A*S*H. Who loves it? I know I do, and I've been watching this show for a very long time.

My favorite moment of the show: the Good-bye Radar shows. Simple classic right there.

So, the question I'm asking here is what are your impressions of the show, and if you like it, what are your favorite moments through the series?

[adamark]

that's probably the best tv show i've ever watched. one of the top 5 at least. just about every episode was awesome.

[Nique]

I like what I've seen. Oh! And I used M*A*S*H* to win a round of 'Scene it' recently!

I like military comedys. 'Black Adder goes forth' isn't quite up there with M*A*S*H* but it's another good one.

[Daimo Mac, The Blue Light of Hope]

I like the show. Good to watch. I have considered getting the DVD collection (all the seasons on alot of disks)

[notasfatasmike]

I used to like M*A*S*H a little bit. Wasn't my favorite, but it was ok.

Then my dad got most of the seasons on DVD.

I can't stand it anymore, not because it's bad, but because my dad watches it *all* the time.

M*A*S*H* was probably the show I watched more than star trek. Like, I would watch every episode of MASH wen it aired during my entire childhood. I especially liked when they teamed up Blake, Honneycut, and Hawkeye. Those three worked awesome off one another.

The goodbye to blake episode was the first time I ever didn't laugh during the series....

Didn't one of those actors wind up in Police Academy? I can't remember. Havent watched Police academy in like 10 years, but that one mechanic dude looks familiar...

I haven't seen too many episodes of M*A*S*H, but I like those that I have seen. Great writing, great acting.

My mom actually went to high school with the guy who played Radar. I don't think they knew each other particularly well, but they both attended the same school.

[Fifthfiend]

Be honest now, you're actually Radar's daughter aren't you?

[Flarecobra]

Personally, the last episode always did kinda made me feel like a friend was leaving at the end. If a show leaves that kind of impact on someone, then it has to be remarkable.

Yes, that's Rizo (the name of the caracter in the show...I can't remember his real name). He plays the lieutenant in police academy, the boss that's a real asshole. I can't remember his name in that movie.

I like M*A*S*H, and my favorite episode might be the The Conference. It's the one with the psychiatrist and the crazy guy who holds Frank hostage in the shower. Oh, and everyone is playing poker in that episode.

I loved M*A*S*H growing up, but I liked it best when Major Winchester was there--Burns was just too whiny and annoying. Winchester was a bit of a pain in the ass in the beginning, like Burns, but he gradually revealed his cleverness, sense of humor, and even his ability to care for others.Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen was both heartbreaking and happy...but the scene I think I'll never forget, out of all of the episodes, was when Radar came in and told the staff about Colonel Henry Blake's death. According to the behind-the-scenes special, NO ONE (other than the scriptwriters, of course) knew that Henry had died until Radar read the bulletin...the reactions of the cast were all ad-libbed.

[Gascmark de Leone]

I know about the scene with Henry's death. You're right... I don't think they knew about it until the day they shot it.

I liked the last episode a lot. It had some comedy, drama, and tragedy. And my favorite scene would have to be the last one, when everyone is saying goodbye.

I don't know what's happened to T.V. since. There's been good shows, but almost all of them pale compared to M*A*S*H.

That was because McLean Stevenson was incredibly loathed on the show. So when he wanted out, he got out.

I think the show picked up when Harry Morgan (Col. Potter) showed up. That is my opinion at least.

And to be honest, Winchester is my favorite.

I absolutely love M*A*S*H and watch it on TVland all the time. An amazingly well written and well acted show about a horrible war.

My favorite episode is the one where the TV reporter comes to interview the unit and they keep cutting between the interviews of how the soldiers are coping with stupid news reports about celebrities and such.

[Bobbey]

I rewatched a show today on my dads dvd collection. It's the one where they do all of those weird dreams. I think that one particular episode was co-written by Alan Alda.
That episode left me in a very weird situation: I wasn't sure I was sad, happy or relieved. It kind of left a hole inside me...very confusing.
But I think it's going to become my next favorite episode after the good-bye Radar ones.
