It's the best!, 22 January 2002
Author: SmileyVision from United States

It made us laugh.It made us cry.It made us think.It is these three things that make M*A*S*H my all time favorite series.He used humor to deal with the challenge of war.This makes Hawkeye Pierce(Alan Alda) my favorite TV character of all time.The things that endear me to this series are too numerous to mention,but I will mention a few.Hawkeye and Trapper's(then later B.J. Honeycutt's) constant torment of Frank Burns,Klinger's dresses,Radar's premonitions, the practical jokes,I could go on forever.It gave me laughter,it gave me tears,and it gave me knowledge.I'll love it forever.
