MASH TV 50th Anniversary

[RamblingMad]

I'm binge watching it now from season 4. I really like Potter.

Anyone else watching it?

MASH has always been one of my favorite shows!

Got the complete series on dvd. One of my fav childhood series. Loved it most when it was: Hawkeye, BJ, Winchester, Potter, Radar. And when Klinger and Father Mulcaney got bigger parts

Great show! I'm not watching it right now, but enjoyed in the past. My favorites tended to be the Sidney episodes. (He was the psychiatrist, played by Allen Arbus.)

I find it surprisingly more upbeat than TV on today. TV has gotten pretty depressing lately.

I found far too many episodes of MASH depressing. Few people remember (if they were alive 50 years ago) that it took 3 years for MASH to even break into the top 25 TV shows.

I don't think MASH gets good until season 4 with Trapper leaving and Potter coming in.

The movie is definitely depressing.

Yes, MASH absolutely found it's audience in season 3 and 4.

One of the best shows ever. Big part of my childhood.

Shall we do one of the best and saddest scenes ever in tv history? How Gary Burghoff did this... wow.

 

[CdnCarrie]

Still tear up at that clip!
Hawkeye Pierce one of the all time best characters ever created.

A friend of mine had a final MASH party. I remember that many of us took pictures of the T.V. screen at the opening.

 

[Sweettears]

Lots of parties were held that night. I was at one as well

My dad loved this show, and it's hard for me to watch it now, even though he's been gone for over a decade. It was a great show, especially for its time.

We watched and loved it. Don’t think I could watch it again, though.
