Car windows had a crank.

On the original mini the door was opened by a cord from inside.

My parents used to smoke. I tried it once, then decided not to. Couldn’t stand the smoke. Wouldn’t buy them for them since it could kill them or shorten their lives. They sent the other siblings to the store to get them. Kools and Viceroys were their choices. Now, one brother picked it up, and is addicted to Newports.

Very sensible. I had a thirty a day habit until I gave up in 1974.

I love MASH. I have the DVD set and have watched through many times... They did such a great job changing the cast without losing the show.... And balancing the drama/tragedy/comedy aspect.

Anybody think it was a rip off of McHale? Or Sgt Bilko? Hogan maybe?

I was addicted to menthol rather than nicotine

And then we had the other side. The one without jokes.

Saunders, Caje, Kirby, Little John, Doc, Hanley ....

Rip off? No... But certainly drew from a similar vein.

I have the full Hogan set as well and have watched it through many times.

I remember seeing those in every VFW Hall, Moose Lodge, American Legion, Eagles, just everywhere.

My father is and my grandfather was "Marlboro Men". They only smoked those brands.

My stepmom was Virgina Slims and even had the leather cigarette pouch.

No way!
But!! Those were all great! Certainly not anti war
No. I don’t think any of those ever got serious like MASH
rious. They hit war hard !!
PTSD long long before it was public
They had their main character go through Hell with all the shrink scenes included.

My opinion only

M.A.S.H. is very over-rated.

I know, I know.

I understand the cultural impact and all of that, I just think that the acting sucked.
