MASH- Frank Burns is such a twit

MASH (the first few seasons)
One show that I remember was when a GI show critically wounded on Christmas Day - during the cease fire true. The doctors tried to save him - but he died about 10 minutes before midnight. One doctor moved the clock to 10 minutes past - so his kids would not have to think of Christmas as the day their Dad died. Many other heart warming scenes/episodes.
Actually I enjoyed MASH in its later years. The first 2 or 3 years a big part of the plot of "Hot Lips" and also Major Burns was show as a religious nut/hypocrite.
The later years the show became for of a comedy/drama. Often they would use real world instances in the plot. For example there was an episode where Klinger had a certain sickness and the 2 majors assumed he was just "riding" sick call. At the end of the show, they showed a stat about how this certain disease did effect many Mid-eastern personnel.

I think that was their best episode.
Salty: So, who's better, Frank Burns or Charles Emmerson Wincheter III?
The only reason I clarified my post as 'the first few seasons' is that I never got around to watching much of the later seasons. ... :thumbsup:
Arbo, I like Chuck better. One episode he was trying to help a young GI who stuttered. At the end of the show, he was playing a tape recording from his sister - who also stuttered.
Even thought Chuck at time thought he was in the upper class, there were times we saw his more sensitive side.
