McLean Stevenson has admitted he screwed up by leaving. He mistakenly thought he could cash in on his popularity gain on the show.I had to do some research back in the day about Stevenson. I mean...wtf was he thinking.
Harry Morgan was always a grandpa figure when I first started watching the show. I thought he did outstanding.
Frank's character had run it's time out

Voted for Henry Blake but the Chicken Story was the first that came to mind but not in the poll.No option for the chicken story?
The show transitioned from a comedy with dramatic elements to a drama with comedic elements over time. This is part of what made it great and how it lasted so long. Season 1 is just a completely different show than Season 11 and that evolution occurred slowly during the run. I think that understanding that is key to appreciating the show and the later seasons.Larry Linville had taken that character as far is it could go but Winchester was a terrible character.
What's interesting about MASH is that some shows take a season or two to really get going. Seinfeld is a great example. But I think the first 4 seasons of MASH were the top seasons. They really hit the ground running but started the decline after that. When I watch reruns, I tend to go to episodes with Blake, Trapper and Burns. Great characters and solid comedic writing.
Great show, but no it wasn’t.The show was a great commentary on war
BS.This show is a reminder to much simpler times when families weren't running in 10 different directions every day, would watch quality TV together and the children were the remote controls.
Great show, but no it wasn’t.
Because no one is of the opinion that war is good.
Seems to me that to be good commentary, one has to comment on a controversial and contested topic. Not one (war) where there are not two sides.Who said war is good? The commentary about the fruitless gains of war was all over that show
Well I’ll already have the dvd’s purchased from years ago so they’re free to watch now.I'll find a way to hook you if you can't find a service. Has to be cheaper than dvds, Wife tells me to quit watching MASH when I'm going to sleep, Sorry, it is relaxing to me hearing the intro
Is life that different for families now than in 1980?What is your problem? Bad day? Wife shutting you out?
Screens have changed things a lot.Is life that different for families now than in 1980?
I don’t think so.

I just think he’s a prick. I don’t usually remember most posters but he went out his way to be a prick in the Baltimore bridge thread without bothering to carefully read posts before throwing stones. If I step in something I can admit when I’m wrong, but if you come at me you best come correctly.What is your problem? Bad day? Wife shutting you out?
And for f!cks sake if ANYONE on this board knows that it is YOU!Ok, I have no idea where you wanting to go with this rant. Anyone that has been to war, knows how terrible it is. Not sure what 1980 families has to do with anything.

I believe you. The only one I know for sure is you. I do believe soybean. As they say, no one hates war more than a warrior. I served but not like that and I freely admit it.Not just me. There are bunch on here that went to the sandbox

The final one.What episode is the chicken episode? I have no memory of this one. Will go back and watch it.

The statement was that when MASH was on, it was a simpler time with families sitting together watching shows, as opposed to now, when they are heading 10 different directions..Ok, I have no idea where you wanting to go with this rant.

Just more “the good ole days, now sucks” self-loathing. It’s depressing and not helpful.
NoleATL’s post was, in part, “This show is a reminder to much simpler times when families weren't running in 10 different directions every day, would watch quality TV together and the children were the remote controls.”I still have no idea what you are talking about. Sorry. I can reach you out to several good counselors.

To this I replied “BS”.
I just hate the knee-jerk “how great it used to be and how bad it is now” view so many in our world (and on HORT) have. Don’t you find it depressing? Hell, even if it’s true (and I don’t think it is).

Agreed.I've never been a big how great things used to be person. I do, however, wish kids were not addicted to their phones 24/7. It is not healthy for kids or adults
It wasn’t just MASH, it was the studio / production company era where big tim e stars and you actors on contracts moved from series to series. I watched an episode of Cannon recently and Robert Webber was in it. I pulled up his bio and he had four different roles in the series, as well as his landmark role as Adm. Jack Fletcher in Midway. Madilyn Rhue was in the episode, a great actress who was in 100 shows it seems like, most notably as the lieutenant who falls for Khan in the original Star Trek.If you guys go back and watch the reruns, it is amazing how many great actors had simple short moments in the show.

And I pointed out you didn’t read my posts in the thread as you took those individual statements out of context. You flame first and figure things out (or not) later. That makes you a prick. That’s fine, you will just treated by such.I really do not think I am a prick. See above for an explanation of my “BS” post.
As for the Baltimore thread, someone (perhaps you) said “I’m thinking like a 9/11 thing” followed by “we’ll just have to see”.
I (and at least another poster) saw those two statements as conflicting.
