He was a different Hawkeye, to be sure.And the Hawkeye in the book was (FWIR) supposed to be more conservative than either portrayal. You liked Sally Kellerman better as "Hot Lips", then? (Her name was Margaret O'Houlihan in the movie, too.) |

Maybe it's because things that are groundbreaking become mundane over time, but I hated the movie. Gave me a renewed appreciation for the TV series. |

I don't feel that way about Seinfeld even now. Some episodes have plots that are dated, like the Bubble Boy where a cell phone would end all of the confusion. But most still hold up. You have to understand that most people didn't find it funny back in the day. Lots did, it was number 1 for awhile, but lots didn't find it funny.Same with MASH, except worse. Lots of people HATED it! Partly because Vietnam was still fresh and loved ones had been lost, but it went beyond that. People just didn't get or appreciate the humor. Some humor isn't for everyone. Most humor I guess. For me it's Friends. I don't dislike it, but it's not all that funny either. Same with Big Bang Theory. |

I can understand that; the dialog was muddied up in the soundtrack and was hard to follow. Some of the first TV show episodes were like that as well.Gary Burghoff was in the movie as "Radar", BTW. |

I probably might have liked MASH if I didn't see the movie as I thought of it as a letdown after the movie. I usually dislike shows that were made from movies. My exception is The Odd Couple. The show and movie were both classics.As far as sitcoms are concerned here is my top ten list: 1)The Honeymooners 2)King of Queens 3)Married With Children 4)All in the Family 5)The Drew Carey Show 6)Addams Family 7)Taxi 8)Mary Tyler Moore Show 9)Amos and Andy 10)WKRP in Cincinnati My list is pretty much in order starting with my favorite down After #10 I would say Cheers, Everyone Loves Raymond, Andy Griffith, and a few others |
