M * a * s * h

I like the show. I don't like how Hollywood flip flopped the original "Hawkeye Pierce" character's politics. His character was based on Richard Hooker, who was as far from Alan Alda's portrayed political position as possible.

Hooker didn't like the TV series at all, but did approve of the original pilot movie. I think the show was good, but I think it could have been even better had it been based on the actual reality, instead of trying to advertise the then popular at the time leftist political agenda.

All that said, I do tend to agree with Alda's interpretation as far as his character's "anti war" position. I think war should always be the last resort.....but it's a resort that must be faced, if it has to be, instead of run from.

It's among my favorite shows for sure though. I still watch it regularly on MeTv.
