<p dir="auto">I wasn’t born until during the series’ hiatus between the seventh and eighth season, and finally decided to see what the fuss is about.  This curiosity stemmed from a news headline informing of the 50th anniversary of the pilot episode, which was September 17th.  I started binge watching on Hulu that very day, and completed it in 30 days (last Sunday).  Given the comparison to “Cheers” (my most binged series) regarding the best finales, I had high hopes that I would enjoy M<em>A</em>S<em>H in its entirety.  I loved the finale, but felt somewhat bored with almost every episode, as I just couldn’t follow what was going on.  Perhaps the dingy film quality clouded my judgement?  I’m tempted to rewatch the entire series to see if I can grasp it better.  This coming from a 43-year-old who never joined the services, and enjoys sitcoms besides “Cheers” such as “Married With Children,” “The Big Bang Theory,” “Martin,” and “The King of Queens.”  On a side note, I also found “Frasier” to be the equivalent of M</em>A<em>S</em>H.  So maybe my dismay is not due to being too young and being of irrelevance to war experience, but rather being a fan of in-your-face comedy instead of subtle, nonchalant comedy.  I will admit that I do appreciate M<em>A</em>S*H and “Frasier” for that format, despite not LOVING either.  The quick-witted comedic exchanges with no time to let it marinate, were simply brilliant!</p>

<p dir="auto">I served my country but was born well after 1970 and I love and hate MASH. It used to be on I think FX all the time around 2000 and that's where I got hooked on it.<br />
I eventually decided to start getting the dvds, which contain a few minutes in scenes per episode more than was on tv. I still have them and the quality is great. And the option for no laugh track.<br />
But while I love the first three seasons and I like seasons 4 and 5, I grew to hate the remaining seasons, which coincided with Alan Alda's growing control of the show on screen and creativity behind the scenes. I am probably one of the few who does not like the celebrated MASH finale.<br />
I liked Blake more than Potter. I liked Trapper much more than the insufferable BJ. And I liked Frank much much more than unfunny Winchester. All three departing took with them a lot of the show's laughs.<br />
I also enjoyed Cheers, Married with Children, The Big Bang Theory (until they brought on a girlfriend for Sheldon) and I even grew to really like The King of Queens, which I had dismissed after watching it a few times. I didn't give it much of a chance at first.<br />
Frasier is a show I did give a lot of chances and while I think Kelsey is great in whatever he does I could never get into watching Frasier.</p>
