Best Mash Characters (1 Viewer)

[Mr. Chumley]

Let's settle it.

In my mind this shouldn't even be close.

ETA: Screwed the pooch on setting up this poll. I'll try again later.

 

[Reg Lllama of Brixton]

Didn't know this needed settling.

 

[Mr. Chumley]

Oh, I needs it. I just have to figure out how to make a poll.

 

[Parrothead]

about time.. maybe I can finally sleep at night

 

[Chaka]

Tough call actually. For major characters Hawkeye and Radar are probably tops on my list. For a minor character it is tough to argue against Col. Flagg.

Was MASH the top for all these actors/actresses?

For most I think so (although Swit was hysterical in Blake Edwards S.O.B.) but Alda has had an excellent career post M*A*S*H.

Sidney Freedman was a great character. Made me want to be a psychiatrist as a kid, until my dad said i had to go to medical school. Actually might have been a good one, I know and can read people really well, even women.

 

[James Bond]

Sidney Friedman. "Ladies and gentleman, take my advice. Pull down our pants and slide on the ice."

 

[Leviathan]

Corporal Klinger and it's not even close.

[Phase of the Game]

Colonel Sam Flagg

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

I've made this argument before, but Winchester was much better than Burns because he wasn't so predictable and two-dimensional.

You'll really get an idea of the senior citizen crowd on this board by who answers in this thread.

FRANK BURNS

EATS WORMS

There was a guy at a meeting I was in once named Frank Burns. After he said his name in the go-around, I immediately blurted out "...eats worms" under my breath. The person next to me *lost* it.

 

[jwb]

I've made this argument before, but Winchester was much better than Burns because he wasn't so predictable and two-dimensional.

Totally agree w/ this.Winchester was a far better character.

[Apple Jack]

The problem with WInchester is that the whole point of Winchester and Frank is for Hawkeye and Trapper/BJ to rag on them. The Frank/Hot Lips vs. Hawkeye/Trapper thing was way funnier than the Winchester/Hawkeye/BJ thing. BJ sucked. Heh.

agree

 

[Christo]

When I was younger I liked the original ensemble better. As I've aged I've gained more appreciation for the later ensemble. While the early shows are generally funnier, the later shows are more thought provoking.

I enjoy the earlier irreverent Hawkeye to the later self-righteous Hawkeye.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Anyone that suggested Sidney has flippin' problems in the skull.

That guy creeped me the hell out. I still can't watch a Sidney episode without having my skin crawl.

Best drunk poll

 

[Sea Duck]

The only character that I never liked was Hunnicutt. No personality at all. Just a cardboard cutout setting up Hawkeye's jokes.

 

[Sea Duck]

Also, Winchester>Frasier.

 

[The Future Champs]

I know and can read people really well, even women.

Liar.

 

[Mr. Know-It-All]

Klinger

Hawkeye

Radar O'Reilly

Burns

Trapper

Mulcahey

Blake

Hot Lips

Winchester

Potter

BJ

First 4 are the absolute best, the remainder are also very good. BJ wasn't terrible - just so many of the others were better.

Thank you. That character personified everything that went wrong with that franchise.

It offends me that some A-holes in Hollywood decided that my mind needed to be "thought provoked" when I tuned in to a 30 minute sitcom, especially when there were only 2 other channels of #### to choose from.

MASH invented the preachy "A very special episode of insert sitcom tile here" crapola that became a Hollywood pandemic in the 80's and 90's.

And Hot Lips? Please....when her #### started sagging and her ### started growing she should of been jettisoned for the next Loni Anderson.

But that wouldn't be "thought provoking" and might of offended the Gloria Steinem crowd.

 

[Christo]

Hard to believe the first MASH episode aired 40 years ago today.

 

[Pick]

I was trying to think of other shows where characters were replaced and it still worked. Cheers maybe.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Tough call actually. For major characters Hawkeye and Radar are probably tops on my list. For a minor character it is tough to argue against Col. Flagg.

One of the top part-time tv show characters ever.
