I gave up in the opening sequence when they were supposed to be making a tactical landing in a C-17 at KAF but noticed a Thunderbirds F-16 on the ramp at Nellis AFB in Nevada.

Pistons, is that a CBC program?

Another cheezy drama.

I give it 5 shows before it's canceled.

MASH was funny, and played into the anti war sentiment at the time.





Edited to add:

Looks like they picked it up for 13 episodes.

The thing with MASH, Richard Hooker never meant it to be anti-war. The movie and TV show became that as part of the times, I guess. I could never understand why they didn't made a movie out of the sequel, MASH Goes To Maine. That book was at least as good as MASH. The characters alone were pure gold - Half-A-Man Timberlake, Tip Toe Tannenbaum, Lew the Jew Pierce, Wooden-Leg Wilcox - among others. There were other MASH books in the series, MASH Goes To New Orleans, MASH Goes To Montreal, etc. but they were pure bs, written for a quick buck.

15 minutes of my life I will never get back.
