    Well, I was just watching M*A*S*H* and I got to thinkg..."I wonder how many people watch M*A*S*H* and actually like it?" I personally love M*A*S*H*. I started watching it when I was about 5 with my favorite brother. Right next to Bob Hope...Alan Alda is my hero! :love:

    ******************************************************
    Anyways...since I forgot to ask which character you like the best in the poll, please reply with your answer.

    I personally like 98% of the characters, but my three favorites are: Trapper, Klinger, and Hawkeye.

    So...how about you guys? :rolling:

    I used to really like it but I can't remember it being on UK terrestial telly for years. I also remember seeing an episode in the states and being very dissapointed in their decision to use canned laughter. They don't here and it makes the humour seem much more poignant.

    I *love* M*A*S*H. I didn't start watching it until about three years ago, maybe two and half, courtesy of my husband. (Hey! There's something I can thank him for!) And ever since then, I've been hooked. I am pretty picky about my characters, so here's the list.....I love Klinger, and I like him better after he becomes the office assistant, cause the dress thing gets really old. I love Pierce. Alan Alda is my hero. (We actually have a guy that comes into my store pretty often that looks exactly like a young Alan Alda. But I digress). I like Margaret, but only after Frank left. I like BJ and I hate Trapper John. I like Charles. I like the second Colonel but not the first. See a pattern? I can't wait for them to come out with the last few seasons on DVD, but until then, I'll just watch the reruns on TNN.

    Oh, and I cried during the last episode. How sad is that?

    I grew up on MASH, my dad would let me stay up late on Monday nights sometimes to watch it. Most of the dirty stuff went right over my head, I just thought it was funny.

    My wife isn't a big fan ... I think its an age thing, she's 6 years younger.

    Also, I don't have a TV, so I can't really make an "honest" vote in the poll.

    Good memories though. Who wants to make a still out of medical supplies with me???

    YOU DON'T HAVE A TV? Are you crazy? What do you do when your bored, other than computer games? There must be a good enough reason, like, your religeon is against it! Right?

    By the way, I do watch MASH, because of my parents. Yup, that's how old you all are.

    I'm as old as your parents :eek:

    As to the "No TV" thing, its not religious, its just common sense. TV rots the brain, and my daughter (only 2) is prone to watch it all day. Without the TV she runs, colors, sings and dances more.

    In the evenings, my wife and I talk, play, read, etc.

    When we do want to watch TV (like Alias), we go to a friends house and make a social occasion out of it.

    Her laptop does play DVD's, so we can sneak a movie every now and then ;)

    Look here for some brief thoughts about M*A*S*H from me: http://www.sorcerers.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=7;t=004790#000000

    It havent been on lately but when it was I was glued, it is the superb. I lack words. I also has to say that Hawkeye is my favourite character even if it may be unoriginal by now and I really prefered BJ before Trapper John. The 'new' cast was generally better than the old, or is it the other way around?

    When I was younger, I watched the episodes. And I liked them. A little later, I caught a flash bit of the movie; I didn't even give it a chance, I just figured it wasn't any good because I didn't know the actors.

    Later, after having played some games myself, I watched the whole movie. Now, I can't stand the episodes. The episodes are like a castrated version of the movie, and the movie is a LOT closer to real life than anyone cares to admit.

    There's a lot of things that have so much similarity to the military today, that it's almost not funny. But my brother-in-law likes both the movie and the episodes, so I know what the deal is.

    I grew up on MASH too. Every night at 6:30, right after the news, I watched it -- I rarely missed it. Now, I can't get it, and that ticks me off! But I'm considering buying the first season on DVD.

    Love M*A*S*H?? Well, does the fact that I own the first three seasons on DVD tell you anything?? I have always kind of idolized Hawkeye, and really related to the rest of the characters at some point or another throughout the series. In my opinion, it is probably one of the best shows in the history of American television.

    My first college boyfriend used to schedule studying and meals so he and his roommate could catch all the reruns of M*A*S*H that were aired at the time, on all the different channels!

    My three favorite characters are kind of off the wall: Colonel Potter, Colonel Flagg, and Sidney the psychiatrist. I always loved the episodes that focused on them.

    Yup...it's the other way around! I don't know why everyone doesn't like many of the original cast...Trapper and Col. Blake rock! :D :cool: I almost cried when Col. Blake was killed...almost. :cry:

    @Rallymamma: isn't Colonel Flagg the parinoid guy that is always "spying" on others that Hawkeye and Trapper/BJ like to play jokes on? :rolling:

    Col Blake was killed?! COL BLAKE WAS KILLED?! What. The. Hell. I saw Frank go nuts. I saw Radar go home. But I never saw Col Blake get killed. Now I'm seriously depressed.
