And if you watched it, you might wanna state who your favorite character was - mine was major Charles Emerson Wintchester the 3rd.

most of young people (some of my friends too=P) dont get the humor in mash, but i think it was great
my favourites were those 2 guys who made all the crazy things (i realy dont remember thir names=])

You had Benjamin Franklin Peirce (aka Hawkeye) - in all 11 seasons (the dark haired doctor).
The other guy changed.
In the first 3 seasons you had John Malkentyre (aka Trapper) - curly hair, had a wife, but cheated on her a lot.
Later on you had BJ Honeycut - a sweet lovable family man, who'd never chat on his wife.

All three of them were playing tricks on Frank Burns (mostly - although others were a target as well), but after the 4th season Burns was gone. Charles Wintchester came in his place - and although they played tricks on him as well, he wasn't a punching bag and got back at them on several occasion. He was also superior to them in several ways (inferior in a few as well).

good to know :cheers:

I remember it vaguely, since they aired it when I was a kid, I know though that my parents liked it very much...

It was/is a great series (and movie). There was a lot of dark humour in there and the tragic of war was always there. :ok: for M*A*S*H 4077!

Never seen it, but I bet I could have liked it. I like many old tv-series.

Try and get your hands on it - you won't be sorry.

My favorite character was B.J. Hunnicutt. He had a good sense of humor but a quiet demeanor and a good family man. Hawkeye comes in at a close second. I must say this is probably one of my favoirte series.

I Never Liked M*A*S*H

M*A*S*H= :not_ok:

Hogans Heroes= :ok:

Ist Klar?

had a good antiwar humor

Schultz - I'll have you sent to the Russian front for that!

Sure I watch it on occasion and there is a good reason why it ran for 11 seasons. But I'm not a fan. It has been rerun to death now.

Loved Mash.
Fav char would be the very first captain (?) the head guy, he was awesome.

I'm ashamed to agree with you.
MASH is extremely boring and predictable.
It took Allo Allo! off the telly! :angry:

It was a great show, overall, even if it did run much longer than the war that provided the backdrop. It never really went into an unchecked decline. There were hiccups whenever the cast changed, but none of the shows struck me as bad. Unlike most long running series (like ST:TNG, DS9, or The Simpsons) it was brought to an end while audiences were still enjoying it.

I always had a soft spot for Colonel Flag (the military intelligence officer who typified the impression that military intelligence is an oxymoron). Of the core group of characters, the writers made a point to give them each some time in the sun, and to reveal themselves as more than cardboard stereotypes. The secondary characters (Rosie, Sgt. Rizzo, the cook, and others that I cannot recall) may have been flat, but they all had elements that seemed to make them fun to play.

The episode that made the most lasting impression on me was the collection of nightmares experienced by various members of the medical staff.

David Ogden Stiers (Major Winchester) has had a second career as a voice actor. If you are a fan of Studio Ghibli films, in the english dubs, he voices Gumaji the boilerman in Spirited Away, and Piccolo the aircraft engineer in Porco Rosso. He also voice acted the superintelligent hamster Snowball in Pinky and the Brain. Finally, he took over the voice of the Penguin in Batman: The Animated Series, after the death of Paul Williams. Outside of cartoons, he narrated at least one episode of science documentary series NOVA (the one episode that I know he did dealt with the disappearance of the Stardust, an aircraft that, instead of being taken by aliens, flew into a mountainside).

Thats my view on the simpsons, cept the bit where im not a fan... :whistle:

Ah, I love the series :D
The movie wasn't nearly as good, though :not_ok:
