I liked the show generally, and strnagely, I greatly preferred Col Potter over Henry Blake. I could barely tolerate any episode with Sydney in it, and the "Alan Alda will now act" episodes were torture, like the "Patrick Stewart will now act" episodes of Star Trek TNG.

I loved the show as a kid.
Watching it these days though, I just want to yell at pretty much everyone to "tuck those friggin' dog tags in!" lol 
I KNOW, it was part of the costume (Exposed 'tags) so we never ever ever forgot that they were in the military but it still bugs me (I'll just sit quietly here and twitch now).

I think Frank Burns would have been an ARFCOMMER. He was always into guns and being tactical for the time. Favorite episodes are where Burns drives the Sherman through the camp and the prisoner exchange where he violates the rules. He ends up taking a small semi-auto Hot Lips gives him after they had orders of no weapons. He always was the one to have survival instinct.
Yeah Nurse Kelley would have kept me warm during those cold winters

Loved it as a kid until I realized Alda's comic genius was basically warmed over Groucho Marx, Winchester's values, constantly ridiculed, were close to my own, and way too liberal and preachy.
The movie was much funnier: "Colonel, fairs fair, if I nail Hotlips and hit Hawkeyes, can I go home too?" |

Having spent the winter of 1974-1975 in Uijeongbu... you are correct, it never showed how cold it really was. I had the "good barracks" (built of concrete) I slept in my issue down sleeping bag, covered with both issue wool blankets AND a blanket I bought at the PX... it was a challenge to keep warn enough to sleep! They were still issuing M1951 wool clothing and the fishtail parka with button in lining and button on hood. and... there was still a MASH unit at Camp Casey! Quote HistoryQuoted:

Seriously, nobody mentions the model of the UH-1 Huey hanging in the corner of Blakes office? That killed it for me right there.
Love MASH, and Winchester was a much better foil to Hawkeye than Burns. Winchester was a better surgeon. Although I was kinda pissed that he got Radar's mouse hooked on drugs. Bastage. I really liked the mouse, so much range, so much depth, he would have made a great Stuart Little. |

Yup. Two different mindsets between generations. The "shim-youngs" would curse you for being American while drinking Coke, wearing Levi's and listening to American music and the older generations would invite you to their place to meet their family. Two TOTALLY different worlds, but the seasoned citizens - they knew the deal. In Front of them All. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
There were times that we couldn't leave the camp, because there were college kids protesting or rioting or whatever out in front of the gate, for whatever reason. American imperialism, cultural disruption, whatever. Anyways, when the kids weren't running rampant, we would often venture far away from the GI areas and wind up in shitty little dives full of old ass locals. It was almost impossible to buy a drink in places like that. So many old men giving us thanks, telling us stories about how it was back then, and how glad that we're still there. Humbling, and kind of energizing. I dunno, maybe you had to be there. In Front of them All.

Great memories watching that show with my Dad, and I can even deal with the later seasons with replacements Potter, Winchester, and B.J. but it was never the same and seemed to get more anti war as the series progressed. What I didn't like was the awkwardness of Blake as the C.O. as he never seemed to be in charge and played dumb. Love his character though. The episode where they stole his desk was hysterical. |

Quoted:
Don't get me wrong, I like the show. I can set aside the obvious liberal slant, because I have a sense of nostalgia about it. I relate to the tent living from my time spent on Warrior Base, and the couple tours spent in Korea in general. I can put aside the transition from madcap comedy to sentimental dramady. I can put aside the replacement of characters, for the worse. Blake for Potter. Trapper for BJ. Burns for Winchester. But there are a couple things that still annoy me. 1. Poor, lovelorn Nurse Kellye. Come on. She's a female in a combat zone. Yes, she's a chubby little bitch. She still would have had no problem getting stuffed full of cock. After her first year there, if she'd had as many dicks sticking out of her as she'd had sticking in, she'd look like a fucking porcupine. And she did a lot more than a year there. Seriously, there were fucking marines in the area. They'll fuck anything, even bitchy little fat girls. 2. The sense of entitlement that the entire unit has to some people's gear. Hawkeye and BJ's bathtub. Frank's heated socks. Winchester's newspapers. Holy fuck! It ain't your shit! Envy them, ask where they got it, but it ain't yours! Before I joined the Army, I was a Boy Scout and an experienced camper. I was often geared up and supplied better than most of my comrades, but they NEVER acted entitled to my shit. They would follow my lead on the next field problem, but they NEVER acted entitled to my shit. Really, though, the series' biggest loss was Frank Burns. God bless you, Larry Linville. Docs in med units have always gotten "perks" and pussy Trust me |

Thinking about Colonel Flagg still makes me laugh, but Holy Shit that show stunk on ice.
Watched every episode as it first aired on TV, though, because we didn't have a lot of channels in those days. Missed the finale because I was at OSUT at FT Benning. We get it already! The Army is stupid. Fine, whatever. Just beat it into the ground already... |

The thing that bothered me is that it was commentary on the Vietnam War, but was set in the Korean War. The theme of many episodes was "war is stupid, futile, and it solves no problems". Oh really? Well, the people of South Korean have that war to thank for the fact that they haven't lived under a succession of psycho Kims for the last 64 years. It definitely solved some problems for them. |
