Loved MASH. I bought all the seasons on DVD. Seen them a million times and still laugh even though I know what joke is coming. Probably one of the most realistic views on how the army is, everything is change 2000.  |

I loooooove MASH! In my opinion this is one of the few series where later seasons are better than the early ones. I really prefer Hawkeye/BJ/Charles/Col. Potter to Hawkeye/Trap/Frank/Col. Blake. The mixture of humour and sometimes very tragic scenes is great.
I don´t know "Adrian Monk", but it sounds good. |

"It's a Jungle out there..."
I loved watching MASH back when it was on the TV in the late 1980s, I wasn't old enough to get a lot of the jokes, but it was still funny.
Monk I've watched more recently, BBC1 had it on around 2-3ish on the weekdays...but now they've replaced it with Murder She Wrote  |

M*A*S*H for me, anytime.
But then I don't know Monk... |

MONK all the way, superb, especially the earlier seasons. One of the best syndicated series I watched, MASH - never really got into it, and I don't like the theme of it as much either.
I can be wrong ... but I'm not. :know: |

Mash all the way, never heard of Monk. Another favourite although not a comedy, was Kung fu - with grasshopper  |

M*A*S*H 
Great series from start to finish for my money Ltd/Col. Henry Blake was more funny, more so with Radar. What a double act those two were. One of my favourite episodes is the one where Hawkeye nicks Henry's oak table, cracks me up that one. Don't forget the film M*A*S*H got the ball rolling for a TV series.

hey, but MASH and MONK are so different in genres. Not very good comparison may be. They are different times, different themes.
Might as well compare MASH and Saved by the Bell.  |

M*A*S*H film was anarchic comic genius, one of my favourite war films, and one of the greatest comedies ever filmed.
the series started out wonderfully, in the same vein as the film and novel, but once Alan Alda picked up a pen, it became moral, didactic rubbish.
Monk, never appealed to me quite as much, but still valid |

| Mash the movie was great. I tried to like the TV series but Alan Alda just irritates the heck out of me. Bad choice for Hawkeye imo. |

Frank Burns eats worms. One of my favorite lines.

Ok, I can't stand that guy, only MASH i've seen was with him, and as I find him very annoying. So may be if I saw MASH without him it would have been more interesting, but juding by Alda films, it was very nothing special. |
