I watch MASH 4 times a day, every day and my wife bought me the DVD's so when they go off the air I can still get my daily dose. Why it's anti-american to not like MASH!
I thoroughly despise M A S H. Unlike The Beverly Hillbillies or Gilligan's Island, it's setting is a historical den of daily death and blood in a foreign war. I don't mind silliness in entertainment, but there are limits to where I can consider puns, irreverance and mocking of rigid standards as funny. If you like MASH, maybe you'd like "When Mary Magdalene tTckled Jesus on the Cross," or similar things.
Project Runway is different in that the contestants are talented (professionals for the most part), they are judged on their creations rather than on their personalitites, fashion design is suitably visual for tv (unlike Top Chef where smell and taste are at least as important as looks), the judges are working professionals and they say what is right as well as what is wrong with the creations. I like that the prizes are appropriate for the contest. Also, Tim Gunn is pleasant.
I didn't realize until I saw it in reruns just how atrociously bad 'Dark Shadows' was - acting, writing and, most of all, production quality. 'The Brady Bunch' was much worse than 'The Partridge Family' and 'The Munsters' stunningly unfunny unlike its rival 'The Adams Family'.
What's so funny about MASH is that the two doctors who the characters of Hawkeye and Trapper were based on were furious about the way they were portrayed in the show.
I recall reading an interview with one of them once where he revealed that they were very proud of their service and had a deep love and respect for the military. They weren't against the war, but in fact understood very clearly why it was so important that the UN stop the North Koreans from invading the South.
He said that when the book was written, it was made clear that it was not to be autobiographical and that's why they never complained about the drug use or fornication in the book or movie.
But when the TV show was beginning to air, they were told that it would be a very much sanitized version and were asked to do publicity tours for the show.
Once their names became attached to the show and the focus of the show became political speeches, that's when they decided to speak out.
One of the ironic things now is that Wayne Rogers, who player Trapper John, is now a staunch conservative Republican and appears regularly as a financial analyst on FOXNews.
Everyone told me "You will LOVE this show".
I watched 10 minutes of it and it made me sick to my stomach.
Why would anyone want to watch a bunch of sodomites.
I think the opposite of that. I can still laugh at The Munsters, though I seldom watch it [which may be one reason; I'm not too familiar with it to know every word]. But I never found The Addams Family very funny-- they're snobs and it's all too repetitive. It seemed like in every ep, 3 or 4 times they pulled the hangman's noose, wherever they happened to be, and Lurch appeared instantly with his "Yyyouuuuu rrraaannggg?" Same thing with 'the thing' and "Ah! the mail's in"; again wherever they happened to be. And how many times can you laugh at Gomez hearing Elvira's (or whatever her name was) 'French' and start kissing up her arm uncontrollably.
Though I'm hardly the biggest fan of either show, I lke The Munsters better because it was more of spoof that had no pretention of seriousness, while the Addams Family was more of a satire with not-too-extraordinary eccentrics.
It was worth it to endure watching "Lost in Space" Just hear Robbie the Robot say those lines.
"Dark Shadows"
a famous soap opera of the late 60's and early 70's was one that I thought was totally stupid.
