A rarity in Hollywood

Rating: 10/10 (29 March 2005)

Rather than rehash the usual comments about "anti-war" and "anti-hero" and "black comedy", I'm taking a different tack.
In my opinion, MASH (the movie) is one of the greatest, funniest, most interesting, most thought provoking movies ever made. Everything is brilliant from the writing to the directing to the cast to the scenery.
That being said, in my opinion, M*A*S*H (the TV show) is one of the greatest, funniest, most interesting, most thought provoking television shows ever made. Everything is brilliant from the writing to the directing to the cast to the scenery.
How often do you find a movie and it's small screen counterpart that are sheer genius? I'm sure others will have an opinion as to other movie to television offerings, but I believe MASH/M*A*S*H is the tops!
