What are your top 3 episodes? Title: Re: M*A*S*H Post by: Jules on March 17, 2007, 01:49:20 PM Mash, is a classic showed still watched everyday all over the world.
I actually prefer the earlier episodes, when the show wasn't so "p.c". I think the actor, I think his name is Larry Swinburne, the one who played Frank, did a fantastic job. I can still sit there and laugh at Frank, everyday. Title: Re: M*A*S*H Post by: Fuzzy on March 17, 2007, 01:56:39 PM Mash, is a classic showed still watched everyday all over the world.

Frank was the best. 8) Not being a editing ninny but his last name was Linville Title: Re: M*A*S*H Post by: Art Vandelay on March 17, 2007, 04:35:06 PM I loved M*A*S*H when I was kid. Haven't seen it in years. What are your top 3 episodes? My top three: Crisis - Supplies are cut off, bitter cold weather hits, and everyone is forced to bunk up in the Swamp to save fuel Deal Me Out - poker game is interrupted by Radar running over a local (Whiplash Wang), and Col. Flagg shows up because Hawkeye operated on an intelligence agent. General Flipped at Dawn - Harry Morgan plays a looney tune General who is visitng the 4077th. Seasons 1 thorugh 3 are classic. In my opinion with each original cast member who left the series lost a bit. Replacing Burns with Winchester was the biggest drop off.

Although I love the TV show, and have probably seen every episode in re-run. But, it's nice to watch the movie every now and then to see the original anti-war premise.
Title: Re: M*A*S*H Post by: spacey on March 17, 2007, 04:54:04 PM The book upon which the movie and the series are based is good too.
Title: Re: M*A*S*H Post by: MFAWG on March 17, 2007, 06:01:32 PM Reasonably, but not 100 pct, sure that the book came AFTER the movie, which is regarded a classic of cinema, and deservedly so.
It came out at the same time Catch 22 did, and absolutely buried it, even though Catch 22 had bigger stars, bigger budget, bigger director and bigger 'Push' over all. It may be a better movie, too. The series became preachy and predictable after a couple of years, and by the end it was really little more than The Alan Alda Sensitive Guy Half Hour, featuring Harry Morgan, Jamie Farr and that fat guy that went on to guest star in everything from Star Trek, TNG to Matlock.... But the first 4 years or so are classic.... FWIW, there ARE lyrics to the theme song, it's the song they play at the dentists 'Ceremony' in the movie: [sm_buddies] [sm_buddies] [sm_buddies] Through early morning fog I see visions of the things to be the pains that are withheld for me I realize and I can see... [REFRAIN]: that suicide is painless It brings on many changes and I can take or leave it if I please. I try to find a way to make all our little joys relate without that ever-present hate but now I know that it's too late, and... [REFRAIN] The game of life is hard to play I'm gonna lose it anyway The losing card I'll someday lay so this is all I have to say. [REFRAIN] The only way to win is cheat And lay it down before I'm beat and to another give my seat for that's the only painless feat. [REFRAIN] The sword of time will pierce our skins It doesn't hurt when it begins But as it works its way on in The pain grows stronger...watch it grin, but... [REFRAIN] A brave man once requested me to answer questions that are key is it to be or not to be and I replied 'oh why ask me?' [REFRAIN] 'Cause suicide is painless it brings on many changes and I can take or leave it if I please. ...and you can do the same thing if you please.

I like how the song starts as a slow funeral dirge and speeds up to an upbeat tempo before the end. The TV series was great for a long time, but really took a nosedive after Wayne Rogers and McLean Stevenson left. |
