It was underappreciated, sure. But a lot of the people that do appreciate it, woah boy.

Another vote for MASH. I was a kid during it's run, so I tried watching it again in my early 20's to see if I would "get it" at an older age. I watched 50-60 episodes covering several of it's seasons and I still didn't care for it.

Just because I don't like a show doesn't mean its not good to millions of other people...

Heh, just what I was getting ready to say... also Sex in the City, Roseanne, X-Files, etc.

It seems like many of NBC's shows are pretty bad, and the same goes for CBS, The WB, UPN, and HBO.

FiveO - funny, but I think it was the best comedy show ever.

Don't worry ... you're not alone. I'm amazed at all this anti-M.A.S.H. sentiment, but whatever. I can't see how anyone could not have enjoyed M.A.S.H. during its original run. The same applies for I Love Lucy. At their peaks, they were in a league of their own.

I Love Lucy was fantastic, the candy making episode and the one where they're pitching the hot rolls thru the kitchen door are some of my all time favorite scenes.

M*A*S*H* was always a waste of time. The jokes were one-liners that sounded like they were written by nuns. The only sight gag in the show was the worn out comedy routine of Jamie Farr who began to get on my nerves after the 2nd season and by the 5th I kept hoping he'd stray over the DMZ into a landmine field. Add to that the inane comic stylings of Alan Alda and Mike Farrell and you've got a show that should've been cancelled after the first 3 or 4 seasons. At least it didn't star a Baldwin brother.

The Cosby Show.

It totally ruined my once pleasant Nick-at-Nite schedule.

Another vote for MASH. Nice to know I'm hardly alone. I figured it was one of those "untouchable" shows. I once told a group of people that I hated it and they all looked at me like I was from a different planet.
