re: #567 Gus 802
The odd thing of course was that the characters were largely miserable people. There lives that is.
I also liked Hawkeye and Trapper John on MASH. Ol’ BJ Hunnicutt never cut it.
Oh sure- no matter how bad things were, they were never as bad as the folks at Cheers, That made it everything tolerable.
As for MASH, I agree with you re BJ Hunnicut.
I also really liked the odd couple of r=Radar and Klinger.
That episode where Radar comes in and announces that Colonel Blake’s plane crashed was a stunning TV moment. I don’t know if it has ever been duplicated, really.
You see it again and again in reruns and it still hits you like a brick wall.
