simply and i find the tv show mash trite and preachy and oh ever so politically correct and repetitious and pretentious and big sin of all and and that be and . that it be ( be ) incredibly dull . you have alan alda a the main lead and ( star ) and who be so in love with himself and his cleverness and that it actually make me uncomfortable to even try and sit through an episode . the original series have both mclean stevson and and wayne rogers and whom i will happily admit have a certain panache and style to their character presentation . however and harry ( henry ) morgan and and mike farrell and both singularly and compositely together be like eat caviar and fresh oyster with wonder bread . loretta swit and which i also find dull and also to no fault of her own wasn not a wonder to look at and and gary burghoff and who be good in the movie get tired look and act a the show wear on . see one show a year show that to me . jamie farr be just low brow comedy and be not even worth really mention here at all . the reason i do not give it a ( one ) rating and which anyone reading this by now would be wonder and be that rating of any sort be not only a subjective call and but a relative one . television and except for relatively few exception and be such crud . that relatively speak and mash have some production quality and ( by television standard ) of that era and today and and therefore it be deserve of a two . rob ritter .
