MASH never seemed more than a bit funny to me...and the drama seemed forced since it intermingled with weird comedy...

Honestly I LOVE Scrubs and they combine humor and drama, but mash..just never got it really..even though I dont hate watching it or anything, its just not that great to me.

Unlike Hogan's Heros, we watched MASH when I was a kid and I liked it.

Watched it off and on in repeats over the years until I got into my 20s. By then whatever I liked about it was long forgotten by me. The early shows can still be entertaining, but as it went on it seemed to get more self-righteous and smug with each agonizing season.

I can't watch it today, it's unbearable.

I've never "gotten" a lot of sit-coms, MASH, Friends, Seinfeld, etc. I've tried to watch them all but I can't find the humor most of the time. And yet, I'll watch The Three Stooges over and over and laugh my arse off. Must be something wrong with me....

I'm just the opposite. I could watch MASH repeatedly when it was on but I can't stand more than 3 seconds of a Stooges routine. Smacking your co-stars around is funny if you're Daffy Duck but for full grown men it's just sad.

I wasn't a huge fan of Hogans Hero's until after I discovered that one of the actors (LaBeu) is a real survivor of a concentration camp and has a serial number on the inside of his forearm. After that I had a whole different insight to the show and actually enjoyed the show after that.

I concur. Alan Alda and one of the other male leads (Hot Lips's boyfriend? Can't recall his name) make we want to vomit on my television set every time I see them.
