"I'll stop sending them," joked Larry Gelbart, the writer, producer and director best known for the "M*A*S*H" television series and such movie screenplays as "Tootsie" and "Oh, God!"

I've never understood why so many Freepers like M*A*S*H. In that TV series, the Americans were the bad guys and the Red Chinese and North Koreans were the good guys. BTW, the Hawkeye and BJ characters did several things that would have been treason, including helping a North Korean get false papers so he could work at the MASH unit. In that episode, if Colonel Potter had REALLY been the "old war horse" he was supposed to be, he would have had them both brought up on charges that included jail time.

In another episode, Hawkeye taught a pilot who bombed the North Koreans that he was evil. This was the template used in the aborted attack on John McCain by the left. I think they were surprised that there was a backlash to this attack.

The acting was good, and the stories well written, but it was a profoundly anti-American show.

Mike Farrell, the actor who played BJ, has been a leftie all these years.
