Such a great show. I still tear up when I see the finale after all these years.

How true, what Loretta says about the characters evolving. That's part of what makes the show so great.

@tabby4307 True. I felt sorry for him as well. Sure he's difficult, but if you got treated like shit constantly you'd be pretty dour too.

Tease a dog, don't be suprised when he nips at you. Hawkeye and Trapper werent particularly sterling characters themselves

I always felt Frank's wife died shortly after his return and he and Margaret wound up back together after the war.

Scary lips.

@ion010101 When it "changed" it became a vehicle for liberalness, I think Alan Alda had a lot to do with it becoming political. I didnt like it after the first couple of yours.

Fantastic, so many great memories of watching that show with my family. It always brings me back!

@hogne Excellent point on L Switt. Mash was best in the early years: Hawkeye and Trapper were a great team. Frank and Hot Lips were the idiot and brown noser. Henry, the CO didn't have a clue what was going on. Clinger, the transvestite. Mash was great when they were making fun of the army. It steadily declined when Alda took over the writing and started taking shots at the army and expressing his political, anti war and anti army views.

Poor frank everyone picked on him no wonder he was so mean to everybody

[ion010101]

The show got horrible when it "changed". In those first seasons it came close to being like the office. The only thing that changed is it started being generic tv; relying on sickly sentimentality, lame jokes, self consciously political, taking itself too seriously... David Ogden Stiers was funny, but that's about it.

[MultiSpookyboo]

The writers wouldnt let Frank Burns be anything but stupid on that show his character was never allowed to change at all I think that was unfair

@hogne You make a valid point, but I would suggest that the crucible of war can create such revolutions as long as the person has a reasonable natural intelligence.
