Saw the movie in the theater in 1970. Then the series came along, and I never could get myself to like it.
Robert Duvall as Frank Burns was psychotic, whereas Larry Linville was just silly.
There's only one Hot Lips, and her name is Sally Kellerman! 
Monk is fun, but my taste runs more to Firefly, or Dead Zone. |

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. |
Read Richard Hooker's novel, then watch the film.
Elliott Gould, Donald Sutherland.....cant be bad  |
This is good advice for any MASH fan. |

| The movie was great, only thing I didnt like about the episodes was as it went on in years and Alda got in to directing, produciong and writing more and more he turned it into an anti-war protest more than anything. |

I also enjoyed the film in fact I may dig it out on Monday and watch it again. It's been some years when I watched it last.  |

"Hey, Colonel! If I nail Hot Lips and punch out Hawkeye, can I go home too?"
Fun side note: the guy in the jeep-the one who keeps saying "G** D*** Army!"? That's Bobby Troupe, bandleader and songwriter who wrote the classic 'Route 66'. |

Blake – “Did Hawkeye steal that jeep?”
Radar – “No sir that’s the one he came here in”
Which was stolen in the first place by Hawkeye.
Hotlips – “I wonder how a degenerate like him was allowed in to the army”
Farther – “He was drafted”
In reference to Hawkeye. |

| Monk is an awesome show. I love it. When the new episodes air, I watch it religiously. Never could get into M.A.S.H. |

Type 941 Was right ''hey, but MASH and MONK are so different in genres.'' But '' Not very good comparison may be.''
None intended !
Does what we find funny tell us anything about ourselves ?
Did anyone, like me, find BOTH amusing - ? Heck !!   :huh:  |
