A wonderful, moving, funny and entertaining show! Who's with me?
M*a*s*h
- Thread starter Lester Freamon

I don't know what that's supposed to mean. Please elaborate.
Well you can ignore me all you want, I just ordered myself a M*A*S*H t-shirt and it looks fecking ACE!
I like mash.
Yes! A fellow M*A*S*H'ite! Why are you not out checking out the Prestin nightlife tonight, Elvis?
I was in Preston not two weeks ago, Elvis.

I meant mash as in mashed potato. I have never seen the aforementioned show, do they eat mash?
Friday's are generally shite in Preston. What were you doing in this shitdump? We could have had a drink. Perhaps we did and didn't know it.

My train just had a stop there on my way to Manchester. No offence but it looked like a real shithole. I'd gladly have a drink with you, Elvis. But not Whisky. Next time.
It has it's good points, there's a few good bars, and a few sexy women. And me of course.
Drink we shall!
Drink we shall!
Women, bars and Elvis? I can't see why I shouldn't make an effort to visit Preston!
I don't think you count as a sexy woman elvis.
In Preston he does.
ZING!!
ZING!!
Mash is pretty bland. We could watch M*A*S*H and eat something tasty instead.
Maybe kietotheworld?
Clunge.
Is he tasty?
Kieotheworld that is, not clunge.
I know clunge is tasty.

I'm with you, I love M*A*S*H! (If I could, I'd toast with a Grape Nehi!) 
Its good but I rapidly lost interest post Henry and Trapper.
I got the entire set for my birthday a few years ago...

fecking magnificent show, the first few years with Henry and Trapper feature some of the most crisp dialogue I've ever seen in a TV show.
Aye, it's a completely different show and much less funny so if you want the same sort of screwball humour to continue, it's a bit of a let down. By the end, it's basically a drama with some light moment, but always absorbing and very watchable.
They did grasp two concepts which the writers of most sitcoms seem not to realise, which is that except for a few special cases even a comedy needs to have deep characters that the audience can empathise with. And secondly, if you're going to have a long-running TV show the characters need to develop and change or it gets tedious indeed. Hawkeye, Margaret and Klinger are completely different people from the first series to the last.

I wasn't ignoring you mate, I'd probably logged off.
It's probably 25 years since I watched MASH, cracking show, the theme tune was very haunting aswell.
Mash potato is feckin A though !!
Probably my favourite ever TV show
You need to cut down on your whisky bashing, din hestkuk!
M*A*S*H* is a terrific show. Sometimes dull but one of the few sitcoms that can do serious too.
Absolutely positively one of my favourite shows from back in the day. One of those shows that had that fine balance between comedy and drama.
I know. Best Ensemble cast those days. Alan Alda was brilliant as Hawkeye as was the rest of the cast.
Favourite character - Hawkeye, probably followed by Radar.

the film is great, the series had its moments.....Ill never forget the first time I watched it when on holiday in donegal and realised that it had canned laughter all over it instead of what I was used to from BBC2, the horror. Makes all the difference, thats at least one good thing that came from the british occupation of Ulster...no fecking canned laughter on MASH.
