Stam Fine Reviews looks at the long-running comedy-drama M*A*S*H* (1972-1983). Set during the Korean War of the early 50's, M*A*S*H* follows the lives of medical staff at a mobile army hospital. A show that started off as a mix of zany sitcom gags and serious dramatic scenes, the show would lean more on the latter. It's a long-running comedy the show where the characters became deeper the longer the show ran rather than becoming charicatures.
Follow the progressively less madcap adventures of Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda), B.J. Hunnicutt (Mike Farrell), Margaret Houlihan (Loretta Swit), Trapper John (Wayne Rogers), Radar (Gary Burghoff), Frank Burns (Larry Linville), Charles Winchester (David Ogden Stiers), Henry Blake (MacLean Stevenson), Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan), Father Mulchahy (Willian Christopher) and of course, Klinger (Jamie Farr).

My favorite Winchester moment is the Christmas episode when he gave chocolate bars to Keye Luke, for the orphans. Luke sold them for food staples. Klinger overheard this, and saved a meal for Winchester, saying "the donor must remain anonymous". Winchester, with tears in his eyes, says "thank you, Max".
Quite beautiful
what about when radar has his family mail him a hat to remind him of home?
@@orpsae ❤❤❤
I love that episode
This is the same episode I think where a soldier comes in as terminal and the doctors do everything they can to keep him from dying on Christmas. And in a way they do. Man thinking about that ending is getting me blurry eyed.
That's definitely one of my favorite episodes too. One of my most favorite episodes is Follies of the Living and Concerns of the Dead.
Alan Alda, simply irreplaceable ❤️
I adore this show. I always particularly enjoyed when we got to see the human side of Charles beneath his pompous exterior. There was an episode where the cast were asleep and we got to see their dreams. I remember Charles dreamt he was a magician and yet despite all his tricks he couldn't save a mortally wounded soldier. Surreal but good.
I loved the moment he admitted to liking Tom and Jerry.
The one along those lines I vividly remember is where they have a captured North Korean soldier who is trying to do his duty and kill everyone, but Hawkeye is too naive to see it. And the despicable Col. Flagg turns out to be right. Exposing the hero as flawed is not what one expected from 1970s tv. A brilliantly subversive episode.
Winchester was my favorite character.
I agree I love the episodes when Charles show that he is not pompous the best one is the Chistmas episode
@@ethelhoose7624 when he gets the cap from his sister… very moving
Mash is one of the best shows to have ever been made
Born in '67, I was exposed to a LOT of great and ground breaking television, and MASH was one of my ride or die shows that I would not give up!
We are brothers from other mothers!
I take you were also really born when you first saw the Star Destroyer going on forever in that theatre too?
Gary Burghoff (Radar) was the only actor from the movie that carried over to the TV show.
Not true. There was also G. Wood, who played General Hammond in three season one episodes as well as the film.
So true 👍 I should have specified main recurring characters.
It always surprised me how some episodes were just straight-up comedy while others got down right dark.
Thanks for this walk down memory lane, I think you did the show justice and I'm quite tempted to revisit it with the jaundiced eyes of an adult. I want to mention Alan Alda is a remarkable human being outside of Mash -A massive advocate of science and rational thought, he has often hosted many World Science Festival seminars, sitting across from Brian Greene (String Theorist and Science outreach educator). I believe he was also diagnosed with Parkinson's, which is very sad.
It's insane how much William Christopher looks like Rene Auberjonois. It was an incredible casting.
I enjoyed Mash . It was a wonderful show. From it's beginning to it's tearful goodbye, it was an iconic, amazing show. All the characters were just awesome.
*its beginning
*its tearful goodbye
Does anyone get how hard it was to do what Larry Linville did? I think he was the best actor on the whole show. It's easy to be the charming hero but it's hard to be the asshole every week.
Even behind the scenes, they were in awe of his acting ability.
"It's hard to be the asshole every week" my boss sure makes it look easy.
According to Alan Alda, LL was the exact opposite of Frank Burns in real life. And as good as he was in the role he was typed cast as the dick quite often after that. Though he did appear as a loving widowed father of 2 small children in a couple of episodes of The Love Boat.
I got to see him “Larry”/Lawrence Linville in person when he came to my university after M.A.S.H. ended, when he was doing a talk/comedy show tour. He was definitely Not the bumbling fool his M.A.S.H. show character was!
He was very underappreciated. An absolute comic genius.
As the show progressed, it became less about zany absurdity in the face of wars horrors, and more about interrelationships between co-workers. It also could get preachy and treacly. But 11 seasons is a lot of episodes, and they did their damdness to not repeat themselves. It was always watchable . The character who got to grow and develop the most was Loretta Swits Margaret. Though you could gage what season you were watching by the amount of makeup she had to wear to avoid the fact that the actress was aging 11 years to the characters 3 year Korean timeline, Swits performance was always sterling. In the episode "The Nurses" referenced in this video, you see from the nurses prospective Margaret as a hard hearted martinet ruthlessly enforcing her authority. When finally confronted by the nurses for pushing them so hard, Swit begins angrily berating them for not letting her into their confidence, not even offering her coffee or a chat about their personal problems. Then out of nowhere Swit inhales an anguished sob and the whole scene turns on a dime to reveal the aching loneliness that's behind Margaret's tough exterior. It was a turning point in how her character was perceived for the rest of the series. Masterful work. I don't know if Loretta Swit ever picked up an Emmy for her work on MASH, but it would be an injustice if she hadn't.
You need more views because you put your heart and soul into this summary and I enjoyed every minute of it!
Thanks!
exactly, you did a fantastic job of this. i loved every minue and it brought back so many memories of shows ive watched. thank you so much for your effort.
I still remember the finale. Wow! The entire series wow! The acting wow! Your recap & commentary wow!
Hawkeye: There's something wrong with it. It stopped making noise. It just--just stopped.
[pauses]
Hawkeye: She-she killed it! She killed it!
Dr. Sidney Freedman: She killed the chicken?
Hawkeye: Oh, my God! Oh, my God! I didn't mean for her to kill it.
[sobbing]
Hawkeye: I did not--I--I just wanted it to be quiet. It was--it was a baby! She, she smothered her own baby.
MASH was very popular here in Australia in ther day. And I consider it among best TV shows ever made. I laughed, I cried.
Australia was part of the UN force in Korea too. There was one episode in which an Australian soldier visits the 4077--I can't remember why. A while ago I saw an Australian TV interview w/Alan Alda here on UA-cam. All the best from your ally across the Pacific.
In the UK, they removed the laughter track. I never saw it with laugh track growing up, and found it jarring as hell when i finally did.
I know what you mean, it seems to take away a bit of the edginess away from even the dramatic scenes in the show, it always seemed to make me think there not going to put a laugh track here are they surely?!!
When it aired on BBC2 it was always played out with the laughter track removed, but when it was on the versions played out by the Paramount Comedy Channel here in the UK, but happily removed when repeated on the True Entertainment channel on Freeview, thank Christ, at least that channel seemed to understand the fact why the BBC did it and the attention span of the average UK viewer.
Also, I remember watching the "I love 19**" series (and I think the 50th anniversary of the channel on BBC2) in the UK, had a brief a appearance from Alan Alda who respected the fact that the BBC removed the laughter track when shown on the channel. I believe he made the point that he respected the BBC understood that the Brits didn't need to be told when to laugh, cry, etc. Top man!!
One of the BEST ever made!!! I can't sleep without M*A*S*H playing. I watch it to fall asleep & it one of the only shows I watch. It was such a brilliant cast!
I have so much nostalgia from watching this with my dad even though mum said i was too young. I didn't understand a lot of it, but I loved Radar.
Love this!!! I have watched this show for over 40 years. It never gets old.
Still watch..every day
My favorite show of all time.
I started watching this little over 20 years ago, when I was a teenager, its one of my favorite series'. One of my favorite quotes comes from the episode where Potter's wife pays off the mortgage and he thinks she bought the two a house boat. Potter belts out "she bought the damn boat!". Gets me every time.
Mash was a show that never failed to entertain. Well written and great actors and actresses! And despite the on going humor…. Important for mental survival. But it was never ever afraid to tackle the hard situation. Both on the battle field or the effect it had on the crew and serious topics in war and what it causes to those left home. And though constantly goofing off they where extremely gifted in saving those brought to them from the battlefield.
My favorite laugh on the show was the rubber chicken in the teapot, so thanks for including it
In the UK and Ireland, this was aired without the canned laughter track. One time, a BBC editor forgot to remove it. The sitchboard was jammed with angry callers. Brits and Irish audiences don't need to be cued to laugh.
Hear Hear so much better without it.
Alan Alda and the other writers all wanted to remove them as well but the studio wouldn't let them. They did allow them not to use the laugh tracks in the OR though
One of THE worst examples of old school canned laughter in any show.
In the earlier seasons the loop was pretty short, and there is one particular "laugh" that is both ear-gratingly annoying and utterly inappropiate, and sticks out like a sore thumb.
It LITERALLY sounds like, "Guh-huh-HUH-HAAAAA-guh-huh!!".
Once you hear it you will never get it out of your head and it repeats about every 4 minutes of screen time.
I agree. Extremely insulting to be told when to laugh.
They stopped the canned laughter in the later shows. Thank goodness!
In Australia it had a laugh track until radar left roughly, and some serious episodes didn’t either
I used to watch this with my dad he was a Korean War veteran British Army he knew some American lads from a mash he was in centurion tank. I suspect he enjoyed the comedy but perhaps memories more RIP Dad
Funniest series ever on TV! Watched it every week and still watch Reruns ❤❤❤!!!
A rundown on 'Red Dwarf' would be interesting. I'd love to hear what ya have to say about one of my favorite and, I think, very cleverly written show.
Easily one of the best tv shows of all time! Great review!
MASH was one of the best shows to hit the air! War marks all the people who live through it. The characters in the show went from being broadly drawn, to deep, complex people. All those who worked on the show used the setting of the Korean War of the 1950's, to comment on not just the Vietnam War, which was still going on in 1972, when the series started, but to comment on all wars. How all wars effect those who live through that horror and go home. The fact that the show lasted long enough to give all the cast depth and deeper shading, to show that the main characters were not just a bundle of quirks, that in the end they were just people trying to survive and remain sane in the mist of the insanity of war. MASH was and is one of the best shows ever put on air. The mere fact that we are still lauding praise on a show that, in 2022, will celebrate it's 50th anniversary is staggering! In short, great show, great cast, and a great time had by all for 11 years! Can't praise this show enough!
Less than 30 years from now the opening caption in the first episode will be accurate.
War is a Waste of Humanity…And a Failure to Communicate with Neighbouring Nation’s.
The United Nation’s was Organised to Remedy the Rush to War. And, The United Nation’s Replaced The Failed prior League of Nation’s.
Regrettably, The United Nation’s, The Security Council, And , The International Criminal Court have been Frustrated by Nation’s, And Or, ineptitude of some prior Secretary General’s, Or, Snail Pace of Action’s to Prevent Conflict , And Or , War! That said, The Current Secretary General Of The United Nation’s Antonio Gutteras has been More Active + Brave in Speaking Out Against Breaches Of The United Nation’s Charter International Law !
It is important from A Humanity Point of view to understand Why the Director’s + Producer’s + Writer’s + Actor’s were so Engaged with M*A*S*H both in The Movie + The Series… They would have been Watching uncensored International News Film from Vietnam every Day And Every Night, And Neighbouring Nation’s every Day + Every Night which showed the Aftermath of Battles where Humanity were Blown Apart by Carpet Bombing, Or, Civilian’s were Cut to Piece’s and strewn on the Battlefields which hours before Able-bodied People were either living Peacefully in Villages, Or, Soldiers Alive preparing for Battle fully fit and Alive…just a few short few hours later only Death was left to witness what had been.
Humanity was being Destroyed.
M*A*S*H was showing the Great Waste which is War…Indeed to this Date The Korean War remains unresolved. The Korean War was never settled by A Peace Agreement. It is long over due A Formal Peace Agreement…Which Requires ALL Sides to Agree to A Peace Agreement. Why has it been allowed to fester? Primarily it has been used a means to prevent Neighbouring Countries from being next to a Western style Nation.
Some of the Images of the International 1970’s Television News Reporting remain with this Human over Fifty Years after watching Television News Report’s as a young Person. Today, Young People in Western Nation’s are Cocooned from Watching the Horror of War. Instead Young People are caught up in computer games of War , which somewhat glamorize War by the simplistic device of rewarding “game action’s”, while never showing The Real Gore of War.
Whereas M*A*S*H attempted to Fuse Viewer’s into Reality long before the general computer gaming became “a thing” among Humanity.
BUT…War is NOT a game! War is an Extreme where Humanity is the Victim…Which is Saved by the Peaceful Action’s of individual’s, Peaceful Groups, Peace minded Leader’s.
Indeed, I became An International Neutral Unbiased PEACE BROKER + International Lawyer, in response to seeing the results of War in the 1970’s Television News Reports, where People were nightly shown Cut to Pieces on the Battlefield’s Of Asia, The Middle East, And, by Terrorist’s around The Nation’s Of Earth.
Alan Alda , along with ALL The Director’s, Producer’s, Writer’s, Actor’s, were Responsible for Educating A Significant Grouping of Humanity on The Sheer Waste of War… And I have Thanked Alan Alda for his Effort’s.
Today, I have watched the Unlawful invasion by Russia of Ukraine, And, The separate Savage Slaughter by the so called “Hamas” of Unarmed, Peaceful Israel Concert going Civilians, over Twelve Hundred Jewish Civilian’s, which the so called “Hamas” Murdered , and, knew or reasonably ought to have known would result in Netanyahu responding disproportionately resulting in Ten’s of Thousands of Unarmed Palestinian Civilian’s Killed in GAZA.
Indeed, this was why, The United Nation’s Prosecutors were Legally Correct to bringing Separate Criminal Prosecutions Proceedings Against the so called “Hamas” Leader’s, And, Separate Criminal prosecution of Israeli prime minister Netanyahu who Breached The United Nation’s International Criminal Court Orders which required Netanyahu and the Israeli Government to allow Unarmed Palestinian’s Civilian’s Access to Food, Water, And, Medical Treatment, etc..
Netanyahu has systematically breached The International Criminal Court Order’s , by continuing Starvation and inhuman treatment of The Civilian Palestinian GAZA Population of approximately Two Million Palestinian Civilian’s.
Netanyahu has been facing Criminal Prosecution by his own Israeli Criminal Court’s for breaching Israeli Law, which Netanyahu has Evaded by Changing Israeli Law, And Or, remaining in the office of prime minister of Israel in an attempt to avoid and Evade Israeli Law.
Judgement Day for Netanyahu’s Crime’s has been delayed, but eventually Netanyahu will be removed by The Israeli Voting him out of office.
Indeed, if the foolish so called “Hamas” had not Murdered over Twelve Hundred Peaceful Jewish Civilians on 7th October 2023, Netanyahu may have already have been removed from the office of prime minister! Resulting in Netanyahu being hauled before an Israeli Criminal Court. But that would have not suited the so called “Hamas” who Evidentially wanted a disproportionate Israeli response to the so called “Hamas” Slaugther of Unarmed Israeli Civilian’s on 7th October 2023…the so called “Hamas” have and continue to use the Palestinian Civilian Population in GAZA as Human Shields against Israel attempts to remove the so called “Hamas”.
Indeed, the so called “Hamas” also have taken Hundreds of Peaceful Unarmed Israeli Civilian’s as Hostages And have utilized these Israeli’s as Human Shield’s Against Israel attempts to target the so called “Hamas” Murderous leaders.
The United Nation’s International Criminal Court is responding, albeit slowly to the Israeli actions in GAZA.
The United Nation’s Security Council has been hamstrung by one or more Permanent Members of The United Nations Security Council , And Or , by Periodic Member’s, which Arguably Breaches The United Nation’s Charter in Spirit!
Obviously, The intention of The United Nation’s Founder’s was to Prevent War’s Destroying Member Nation’s.
However, The International Criminal Court Of The United Nation’s has in recent Months shown a more Active Mind to Enforce The United Nation’s Charter. PEACE IS ITS PURPOSE!
Played five nights a week leading up to the news for years. I must have watched every episode. Thanks for bringing it all back. I think I was sick of Hawkeye by the end...
I got a little tired of Hawkeye’s preaching towards the end of the series and having had four older brothers in the military I didn’t Always agree with or appreciate the stereotyping of military personnel as mindless killers or that the structure of the military was run by a bunch of idiots. It pissed me off.
Yeah, what i love about MASH, and generally regard as a special accomplishment in all media when it manages to pull it off, is that it at times punches your emotional reaction from one side of the room to the other within seconds.
I have never wavered from the fact that this is my favorite show of all time. I like a lot of shows but the dynamics of this show make it something I could watch over and over again. I have probably watched the entire series 5 or seven times straight through thank you for giving me this. You’ve touched on a lot of points that I forgot or missed and gave me a new love for it. Not something easily done the production is hundred percent
I really enjoyed this homage... So many fun memories. ‼️
What a nice stroll down memory lane.
I couldn't escape this show on television while growing up, thank you for this retrospective. It was, and still is an amazing show. Thank you for this quality review of this stellar show.
Excellent. Thank you
I love EVERY episode, every character. Thank you.
Like good music, MASH is timeless. I can't wait for newer generations to get a chance to experience it!
I,v been watching it for years ,and my grangd children tthink.its marvellous .even the houmer is understood.
Awesome👍 I used to watch that show with my parents back in the day
Loved/love this show. Loved the characters and actors👍❤️🙏✝️😊✌️😎
When I was in Jr. High. We learned to play the mash. I still remember that concert. I'm 59 now. Love this show
The most M. Night Shyamalan moment of the series: "It was a baby!"
That and an earlier episode where Hawkeye can’t stop sneezing and it turns out to be related to a buried memory of a childhood friend trying to drown him. Seeing Hawkeye bawl, for a little kid, was like watching your own father cry.
Right?! That episode is a hard punch, right in the feels.
@@ryancoulter4797 I hope you will reply to this I wanted to kiss and hug Hawkeye and dry his tears
Hawkers probably the best tv character ever
MASH one of the great classics , Love it !
MASH was such a great movie and tv series! A series must be good to all but shut down the country, just to watch the finale! Even while watching this video, i couldn't help but crack up and tear up! This and All in the Family are 2 shows i can watch so many times and still enjoy!
I was raised with mash, the best on tv ever
Loved this series. Parents would always watch this and overtime became a fan and watched every episode when it went into syndication.
What a masterful and heart warming review !!!
Thank you sir 🙏
The writing and acting were stellar. Parts comedy, social commentary and drama that wasn’t trying to be hip or smarter than it was. The show and characters grew organically as real relationships do and we grew somewhat with them. That’s what good art does. It does not pander, coddle, push a message or narrative, twist or distort things, or be disingenuous to attract viewers
My family watch this all the time. We watched the new shows every Sunday night and then the ones in syndication during the week. There are probably not a lot of episodes I have not seen.
Great overview of the show. MASH was a part of growing up.
MASH was integrated into my childhood - watching this left me wondering to what degree I owe my progressive values to the show.
Another excellent video. Your work easily ranks with the best on UA-cam.
This was a remarkable look back at one of my favorite shows. Thank you for this.
Proof that a review from you doesn't need jokes to be worth one's time. Good on you.
Not easy to recap 11 seasons in one short show. Well done. My favorite part-timers were Sidney and Col. Flag. My favorite single line.... "This is a press conference. The last thing I want to do is answer a bunch of questions!"
Thoroughly enjoyed this thoughtful, honest analysis of the show.
It's funny that this popped up in my UA-cam today. I was thinking about "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen" earlier in the day, so naturally I had to watch this.
The two most pivotal moments in the entire show were:
1} When Radar comes into the operating room and gives the news the Henry was dead. This was a character on a television show and people were crying.
2} The very end of "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen"
I still think MASH is the best TV series ever
Hawkeye's laugh is very contagious.
Very well done. Thank you for the totally in depth look at one of my favorite shows.
Thank you. Great summary of M*A*S*H* & I love your sense of humour! I’m glad I found your channel.
Even though I've seen every episode some umpteen times, I still find myself going back and watching M.A.S.H. every chance I get. The characters, and the amazing way they interact with each other is what keeps me coming back for more! 😊
What a great summary of the show. Nicely done, and I actually learned a few things, like, I never realized that the scenes in the OR never had a laugh track. - It's been 4+ decades since the show ended and it's still my all-time favorite. I could watch seasons 1 through 7 on a continuous loop and never get tired of it.
Love this show...Every episode. My favorites are ones with McClean Steveson and Wayne Rogers. What an awesome show!!
I loved Mash! My husband and I never missed a show.... it was our before we went to bed shows we just had to watch and had a good laugh! Many times it made us think... you know about life. I am army brat so growing up surrounded by Khaki and Soldiers, as a child I thought everyone was in the army. I grew up on the biggest base in Canada. I loved that life. Watching Mash certainly wasn't how we grew up..... but there were similarities. I still love watching the re runs now. I always thought Margaret and Pierce should have hooked up permanently on the show, as they seemed to have a real connection! Loved Father!! Radar, Klinger and of course Colonel Potter. All in all my favourite show of all time!!
Ioved this show 😅
great video! this is my absolute favorite show of all time and you definitely did it justice☺️
watched it all the way through boy to man, TV GOLD!👏👏👏👏👏👏
This was quite nicely put together. You really hit on everything. I am a long, longtime M*A*S*H fan. I have been countless retrospective on the show. This is absolutely among the best.
I served in a medical unit in the middle east in the 80s , I only have to look at mash and I'm back there I swear to god , it was harrowing, funny, and deadly serious just like Mash we had all those characters I loved them all.
Thank you for the wonderful video, so detailed and brought back so many memories from my childhood watching MASH with my parents on Aussie TV. You deserve 100x the views and subscribers mate! Please keep it up your channel is amazing and one of the best I've seen in years!!!
Thanks for this wonderful look at M*A*S*H. It's evident that everyone put their full measure into the show, and for that we're so grateful.
I watched the series thruout its run from the time I was a child up to a young adult and your video made me laugh and made me with cry and with the rush of memories.
Thank you.
I still think this is a high water mark of TV that has never been matched.I could watch this series endlessly
I'm so glad i watched this show as a kid in the 90s in Germany. The german dub did not add the canned laughter so i was thankfully always spared from the stupid comedy laughtrack and you only heard it briefly in scenes where there the actors were singing (which was kept as it was). And when the show came out on DVD we thankfully got 2 english audio tracks. One clean and one with the added laughtrack. Between 1995 and 2000 or so i basically watched this show every weekday evening and made sure i did not miss any episode. The 2 hour TV movie was also shown here, though not part of the regular program but often only late at night. I do however remember that final TV movie to be shown as a 4 episode feature once, in the early 2000s.
What a cozy channel, subbed.
Also, Adam's Ribs is my favorite episode. I'm quite happy you mentioned it.
Still a fan. Thank you for your review. Very good. You put hours + of work into it. Thanks again.
Watch it every day. Love it!
Bea Hunnicutt and Jay Hunnicutt. B. J. Hunnicutt. Neat.
I used to watch this with my grand parents, always loved this show
I watched this in re-run in 1997, I kid you not, it helped cure my depression at the time, much respect on no laugh track episodes, staring at you Big bang Theory.....
MASH is possibly the best TV show ever made for many reasons
MASH first aired when I was in the 2nd grade. It went off the air during my senior year of high school. MASH helped to define my childhood. It will always be an important thing to me, as it helped to frame my worldview. It was television at its finest, and a cultural force all its own.
Keep up the good work !! Love from Australia
Loved this show, thanks for a great review from the uk
_Trapper John, M.D._ wasn't a spinoff of the TV series, it was ruled to be a spinoff of the movie. Even though they used footage from the TV series in the first _Trapper John_ episode.
MASH started the year I was born and as fillers between each new season, previous seasons were re-run so as I became more aware of it, it was there all the time.
Even now, hearing that there music takes me back to myself, mum and dad all sat watching, no disturbances allowed until the end credits had rolled.
I bought the box set recently, watched every episode again and loved it just as much, there’s nothing like it now and as a media event, will probably never happen again, due to the additional channels and streaming services all vying for our time and attention these days.
Having said that though, perhaps that’s a good thing, as somewhere MASH is still being shown, somewhere out there on one of those platforms and long may that continue
I love this show and have watched so many times I can repeat lines lol
EXCELLENT. Thank you.
I love watching MASH
Another damn fine Stam Fine vid..
I loved Mash it was always on tv since the 80s. In the 90s I watched the show Trapper John MD. I had no clue he was connected to Mash until much later. It was just this nice medical show that I watched because, well we had 1 tv and not much else to do.
BRAVO ! Well done.
Used to watch it with the family at 6:30 pm after supper on weekdays for years.
I grew up with M*A*S*H and loved it... at least, the British screening of it. I was shocked later to discover that the American airing included a laughter track. I found this absolutely awful!I couldn't bear it, and to this day I simply cannot watch it with the laughter track. Luckily, on buying the complete series on DVD, I found that the laughter track could be removed. Thank God! The laughter track removed the gravitas of the underlying horrors of war. Also, it (the laughter track) introduced an element of treating the audience like idiots... as if we couldn't understand the fact that the natural humour was the running antidote, an offset, to the brutal reality of war and the psychological stress experienced by all those involved.
The final finishing movie was a piece of absolute brilliance.
That was fun. Thank you.
Klinger was a fashion ICON !
Now Banned in Tennessee.
@@progKansas I think you're lying I never heard that
@stankythecat6735 in the comment section of a video here on UA-cam called You're Loved, You Fool showing Klinger's great moments cross-dressing, one person guessed that Maxwell (Klinger's first name) became a fashion designer after the war...I hope you will reply to this
@@sherryhannah498 Tennessee banning drag queens.
@@progKansasKlinger isn't a drag queen. He just dressed in women's clothing to get a section 8 discharge.
The sign of any great show is how well drawn the secondary characters are. MASH did this better than just about any other show in TV history.
And it wouldn't have lasted as long. Maybe Cheers is anothe good example of this.
@@suk6323 Cheers and Frasier are two that immediately come to mind.
Watched this all the way through thinking 'What about Suicide in Painless', Thank you.
