M*A*S*H went on about 5 seasons too long IMO, but in it's first 3-4 seasons it was brilliant. The Mary Tyler Moore show, I think, quit at just the right time, just as the Dick Van Dyke show before it did. Seven seasons is, with few exceptions, about the right length for a sitcom, IMO. After that, it seems after that many episodes (150 or so) they've just about explored every possible comedic scenario concerning the characters and the show begins to get stale.
I agree with you about the 7 seasons theory most of the time, but M*A*S*H was the exception.
It was hilarious every time Hawkeye sexually harassed the nurses (well,
except for the fat minority one) and insulted the private who served him
his meals. Or at least the recorded laughter made it sound hilarious.
What recorded laughter?I've been watching it too. Just finished season 6. I don't like when she moved to the new apartment. But I like how they seemlessly moved into new cast members Betty White and Georgia Engel after Harper and Leachman left.
I always enjoyed her show, but I never thought she was brilliant. MTM was one of the better "work place" sitcoms. However, M*A*S*H was better. Actually, I liked Mary better as Laura Petrie than I did as Mary Richards.except for the fat minority one) and insulted the private who served him
his meals. Or at least the recorded laughter made it sound hilarious.
don't know there is a laugh track?
Fucking imbecile.
