A bunch of 70s TV was filmed on defective stock that started decaying really early which is why there’s a lot of syndicated shows from around then that look like total rear end.

It killed me when I realized Winchester was the guy from that one TNG episode with the scientist who commits suicide.

A really young Lawrence Fishburne plays a wounded soldier in one of the later seasons too.

Nothing will top Frank teaching the Korean workers to speak English.

“Do you have a fever?”
“I will get the doctor.”
“Get us out of the UN!”
“Better dead than red!”

”Frank Burns eats worms!”

I hope they have an audio channel with no laugh track.

Depends on their syndication package. There’s one with a laugh track and a crappy picture and there’s one without a laugh track with a cleaned up picture.

The Christmas episode where they get the dying guy and BJ refuses to let him die on Christmas despite there being no hope, with Margaret, Hawkeye, and BJ working on him in secret during the Christmas party. :smith:

I remember loving this show but I don't think I ever saw the movie or read the original novel it was based on (in fact, I didn't even know there was a novel until this thread). Are they any good?

The novel is a pro-Vietnam pile of trash. The movie turned it into an episodic subversive anti-war film and it's a landmark of New Hollywood. And yeah, Elliott Gould.

Remember the episode where they're laying a cement floor for the OR to stop infections? When they're signing the cement slab, Hawkeye makes a crack about how a noseprint signature would be a great tourist attraction at Grauman's Hopefully Not Chinese Theater.

At Disney World, there's a replica of the facade of Grauman's with early-90s cement signatures from visiting celebrities out front, just like the real one. One of them is Alan Alda.

He left a noseprint.

The early seasons were shot on some new film stock that deteriorated really quickly, that’s why season 1 looks super rough.
