It was never meant to have any real millitary standards.
It was more or less a rant about the war in a time when one really could not speak out freely.
The show had a seriously liberal bend idk latetly I have been crusing the TV shows and found them lacking any value.
Bad acting, zero morals, there is more but it would take a lot of time to type out everything I find wrong with them...
Our poor kids.
I've seen all the mash shows, thanks to the new world of dvd rentals. I find shows today mainly bland and rehashed crap. I've turned to anime for good stories. Most (ignoring Americanized ones like Dragonball Z and other never ending ones) have a beginning, middle, and end..of which the last is the most important. They end.
Even mash finally had an end, which is more than a good number of series today that fade into obscurity.
I agree. I don't watch much tv these days. Actually, I turned my cable off a few months ago and here in WI I don't even have a tv. Just a tiny little DVD player. But when I had cable, I only ever watched a few shows. Probably because I got tired of them cancelling the ones I liked. Most of them nowadays don't even look interesting enough to bother with.
I've watched M.A.S.H nearly all of my life--when I can catch it on. I can remember sitting infront of the TV as a child and it would air right after the news. ;]
Hawkeye and Kliger.... da bomb!!! Yessss I still adore M.A.S.H. I was even reviewing some old scenes I had grown up with 2 weeks ago on u-tube and then last week if was Gomer Pyle..XD!
