    I believe that we just found out it’s not M-A-S-H

    I never even knew it was a book.

    Did Caufield actually read the book? If so, I’m surprised that he hasn’t referenced “school teacher” or the “pros from Dover”.

    I’m slightly surprised that Caufield has seen the movie. Sally Kellerman’s shower scene isn’t really material for someone his age. Also, I’m somewhat surprised that he had heard of it. I run into a lot of people in their late teens/early twenties that have not heard of it. Apparently reruns of Friends and Seinfeld have overtaken it, which is a shame since it’s one of the best situation comedies of all time.

    The movie was far better than the tv show (not a popular opinion, I stand by my statement).

    In college I went to a Halloween party. One guy who was tall and lanky was wearing a straw cowboy hat, wearing surgical garb underneath a red bathrobe, and holding a martini glass. He was the perfect Hawkeye Pierce.

    Wait. Is he talking about the show from the 1970s?

    Wear a red cap with the letters “M-A-S-H”, and see how many people notice that it does not say “M-A-G-A”,

    A book/trilogy is a given story line and fixed in time. A movie carries the name and might remain close to the story; but it’s condensed. A TV series might not even keep the main characters and make up stories for years. A life of its own.

    I was going to suggest Birth of a Nation. But that is the name of the movie, not the book.

    My wife and I got married in 1979. When we got home from work we sat and wound down watching MASH. To this day when I see an old rerun, it brings back good memories.

    I used to watch MASH 4 times a day in college, it ran in syndication twice daily on a Baltimore and on a Washington station

    He’ll have to sing “Suicide is Painless” to complete the picture. Dang…that was a dark song for a tv sitcom/drama.

    There is a great book (made into a movie with Bruce Willis) were a retuned Viet Nam vet with PTSD spends all his time watch MASH reruns. I recognized all of the episodes.

    A pretty scary thing would be to wake up from unconsciousness and the first thing you see is a person with a surgical mask and blood on his scrubs.

    I read my dog-eared 1968 paperback copy of M*A*S*H every couple of years. As Frazz points out, it’s not a classic fur it is fascinating reading.

    The book is absolutely a Big G. Strongly recommended.

    I’ve been known to wear thermal underwear with pirate accoutrements to represent Treasure Island’s antihero.
