That's a lot of laughing for a dramedy.I'm on my 5th watch-though of the 1972 series called M.A.S.H. The jokes are so funny, and I miss so many, because I'm too busy laughing.
It's funny that you refer to it like that and link the Wikipedia page. MASH used to be the most celebrated show on TV. I was a big fan, mostly through reruns. I do remember the last episode airing when I was a kid - it was a huge deal and was the most watched show for decades, up until a few years ago when a Super Bowl finally broke the record.I'm on my 5th watch-though of the 1972 series called M.A.S.H.

I never liked this show when it was originally on, I thought it was a little too pretentious. But I later became obsessed with it and binge watched it several times over. But that was many years ago.
That was the episode that got me started watching it. I had seen a few episodes, but I never liked the show. Then they had the last episode when they finally got to home, and like you say it was an event, so I watched it. There weren't that many channels back then either. It got me more curious about the show, and I started watching it regularly, because it was on a lot in reruns.I do remember the last episode airing when I was a kid - it was a huge deal and was the most watched show for decades, up until a few years ago when a Super Bowl finally broke the record.
Winchester was one of my favorite characters. He replaced Frank Burns and he was much better. Burns was just too one dimensional, an easy target.That was the episode that got me started watching it.

It was actually Winchester's storyline that turned me around it, which is odd because he isn't one of the better liked characters, but I liked him. He was teaching some Korean POWs to play Mozart, and then they ended up getting killed.
Lol, Alan Alda was a huge feminist symbol back in the day. He was seen as sort of a sex symbol, but women held him up as the example for the new "sensitive man", who was pro-feminist and in touch with his feelings. That was about the first time I had heard of that sort of thing, it was in association with Alan Alda. His Hawkeye character was a big reason I never liked the show initially, I thought he was too preachy and self righteous. An early virtue signaler.
I do think the series was better than the movie.
Probably because she was a ho at heart. By the end of the series, they had pretty much turned her character around 180 degrees. The football game seemed to be what most people remembered about the movie, at least back then. I remember hearing about it long before I saw it.Then for some reason she later mindlessly cheerleads the 4077th in their football game with the 8063rd...it makes no sense.
The football scene was pretty well directed though.

Which brings up the question, which do you prefer, early MASH or later MASH. I tend to prefer later MASH, not because of the heavier tone, but just because I prefer Potter/BJ/Winchester to Henry/Trapper/Burns. I'm sure some would consider that sacrilege lol.The first 4 seasons, was mainly comedy . After that, it became more dramedy, as you say.
