Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Invaderbank
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Lachlan Coulson
This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Freeman
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

I remember seeing this show a number of times growing up, but it never really felt like much more than light entertainment. Then again, "Hogan's Heroes" was a sitcom meant more to mock the World War Two-based shows of that era than to educate us about how life was really like in a German POW camp.M*A*S*H was not as ridiculous as "Hogan's Heroes", but it never had any real emotional effect on me. It was a product of its era, coming out at a time when the US was ready to pull out of Vietnam- and the show felt more 1970's than 1950's, like "Happy Days".In the actual Korean War, there was the "mobile phase" from 1950 to mid-1951, when North Korean forces nearly overran the south, then the UN intervened and conquered most of North Korea-only to be pushed back by intervening Chinese forces, back to where the country's original dividing line had been. From then until 1953, there was the "static phase" when there was fighting along the front, but the lines did not shift any great deal. I mention this because I cannot recall the base having to change its location, or any threat of its having to do so. Also, Korean winters can get extremely cold-but I cannot recall that mentioned in the show ever.It would be interesting to know what any Korean War veterans thought of this show.

Ever wonder why you never see Alan Alda on any talk shows? He knows he'll be torpedo'd with questions about how vain he is, including inquiries concerning his misplaced conceit.Alda is a pompous hypocrite, one of those people who likes to shove folks, the kind of shallow ignorant that would slit his mother's throat in her sleep to get his picture in the paper.This sitcom, which was never more than a sister to 'Hogan's Heroes', dropped an occasional mildly humorous one-liner, but the show was most often soaked in liberal politics and the writers never forgot to take pot-shots at every nationality and religion with which they personally had a problem.To escape the insecurity of Alda and the prejudice and hatred of this show's writers and producers with whom he tried so hard to get in bed, simply watch something else.

Time was, I could quote chapter & verse from one script or another. And I could tell you plots & subplots within a minute or so. Problem is, I never bothered with episode titles. Content was my concern: B. J. Practical joke festival; Hawkeye & BJ's 'stinkfest' against Charles' French Horn. What I call "The Dream Sequence". I'm not so lucky now: I'm limited to two favorite lines that have made it permanently into my vocabulary. The first is Colonel Potter's:"Snowball's chance in Guam!!!" and Hawkeye's "You've got to be out of what's left of your mind!!!!!!!!". Hawkeye's was said in 3 or 4 different episodes.M*A*S*H was, and still is, The God of all supposed sitcoms...If only because, many times, the situations weren't so comical.

This is my favorite TV show that I own. I love the way the characters deal with the never ending war that they were in. My favorite seasons are 1-3 because Henry and Trapper were the funniest characters in the show. Once they left, the show kind of lost it's funny edge, even when Frank left. Winchester brought more of a darker tone to the show. But, every time I see the last episode, I want to watch the series all the way from the beginning again. I love this show to death, when I got the complete series, the box scratched all of the DVDs, so if you want to buy the series, get the seasons separate. It worth all the money you pay. If you haven't seen the show, watch it, it is on TV Land every weekday at 5PM. Trust me, It is a great show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
