How do you guys feel about this show its a bit old but I like it.

I have the first five seasons on DVD. After Frank Burns left, I lost interest in it. I mean, I still know every single episode by heart, I just care a little less about those later seasons.

You didn't like Charles Winchester??? Frank was good... it always freaked me out when I'd see an interview with Larry Linville (sp?) as his natural voice was so much deeper than Frank's voice was.

I grew up watching this show and still watch the reruns when nothings on and I'm flipping channels. I remember crying when during a few episodes... esp- the last one.... Radar's Teddy bear going into the time capsule. Ah.... Got me right here.

Oh, and Henry's departure.

I also like how Harry Morgan was on as that crazy General before he came back the next season as a regular. Good ole' Col. Potter.

And who could forget such sage words as: "Take my advice, Pull down your pants and slide on the ice"

(music plays.... Memories.... misty water-colored memories....)

Yeah... MASH is a good time.

You might want to check out the Movie, too.... if you have never seen it.

this reminds me... I should see if I can find a copy of the MASH trivial pursuit on Ebay or something.

tangentgirl, I love many of those later season episodes as well. And yes, I liked Winchester. But around season 7 or 8, Hawkeye's holier-than-thou arrogance and preachiness got unbearable for me. I just got tired of him saying "This d**n war!" every episode.

Oh, and the time capsule wasn't technically the last episode. Yes, it was the last half hour episode aired, but the two hour finale was the actual "last episode." And yes, I still have very fond memories of seeing that episode as a kid.

I recommend the movie, too - although it seems that most people like one or the other (the movie or the series), and not both.

It's one of my favorites, and probably one of the best films ever made.

[tangentgirl]

The movie is actually quite excellent!!!!


I remember trying to watch it as a kid, though and thinking.... hey this isn't Hawkeye, etc...

I think the television show was amazing and great.... the way comfort food is... or like hanging out and laughing/reminiscing w/ an old friend.

I'd tell anyone who hasn't seen the movie to put it on their "to watch" list.

Well the complaining did get to become a bit much but I never really minded.

I never knew the time capsule was the last 30 minute episode. I have never seen the ending.

Well who are your favorite characters on the show?

I have to admit I have always been partial to Charles Winchester and Klinger.

And what are your favorite scenes? I like the touching parts of the show as well as the comedic aspect because it never went too "far", and it never ever went into super corny/sappy mode like some TV shows now seem to permanently reside. But I will admit there were some moments where they came close.

I know I am not going into much detail it is just really early and I am tired.
