When I was a kid, i thought MASH was so "cool" and "with it".
Now I watch it, and it is painful.
They have three genre of jokes:
1) Puns, really bad puns especially spoken by Alan Alda.
2) The military sucks, incompetent, unfeeling only by the mighty bombastic, self righteous hospital workers.
3) Periodically a funny joke or thought provoking situation arises.
Overall the series is dreadful for me now and they ALL scream their lines, especially Harry Potter. Gross over reacting
And I agree with the above, Saly Kellerman was the real hot lips.
