I enjoyed MASH despite the political stuff that seeped in later in the series.
Mulcahy and Friedman were two of my favorites. Also, Colonel Flagg.
RIP
Colonel Flagg-
“hey up close, you’re a guy”
Klinger-
“Far away too”
Allan Arbus (Dr Sidney Freedman) was married to photographer Diane Arbus.
ITA with every thing you said! We can thank Alan Alda for the political stuff, I believe.
Flagg: I’ve trained myself not to laugh or smile.
Potter: Really?
Flagg: Watched a hundred hours of The Three Stooges. Every time I felt like smiling, I jabbed myself in the stomach with a cattle prod.
Potter: That ought to do it.
Classic
