Subject: M*A*S*H Annoyance

Written By: dcs84 on 09/18/06 at 10:05 pm

Did anyone else find it annoying when Radar was wooing some 'sophisticate' and was told that when she mentioned something cultural to which he was unaware he was to repeat the coment and nod his head i.e. "Ahhhhhh Bach".  I can't tell you why but I found the entire scene and the episode annoying.

That deserved a thread?

I just thought I would shake things up a little, doesn't it get tiring with the same "Favorite 80's song", "What 80's teen star are you", and "Wasn't Goonies great" style threads.  This entire site will either die or go continuously around in circles if the threads are all that shallow (not that there is a problem with that, just a little biodiversity is good, maybe).

   Yeah, I know the episode you're talking about...

   I'd go further still and say the character "Radar O'Reilly " is not only annoying in that episode, but at all  times.  I realize the character was an integral part of the show, but I wouldn't have been too upset if Radar had simply disappeared early-on in the series like "Spear Chucker Jones"...

   I found him annoying and distracting in much the same way as "Woodstock" on Peanuts, "Tweety Bird" on Looney Tunes and "Ed" on Northern Exposure groove ;) on...

  You really  want a thread to last well beyond it's shelf life, give it a title such as...

  "I Like To Move It In Radar O'Reilly's HammaPantz" or somesuch... ::) :P

  go ;)...

Thanks Davester, what it should actually be titled is

"I'd like to move a claw hammer around in Radar O'Reilly's pants"

I love M*A*S*H and know the episode. The funny thing is, everytime my husband and I even mentions Bach, we say it as "Ahhhhhh Bach" with the hand gesture.  ;D ;D

I like Alan Alda, but M*A*S*H never did much for me.  I recognize its quality, but it seemed like a more sophisticated version of "Gomer Pyle USMC," "Hogan's Heroes," or "McHale's Navy." 
(At least "McHale's Navy" had Joe Flynn's Captain Binghamton, "McHale! What's going on here? What! What! What!  This better not be another one of your bird-brained schemes, McHale!")
:D

I was a huge M*A*S*H fan when I was a kid.  Our local stations aired it at 5:00 pm and at 10:30 pm, and I never missed an episode.  I pretty much burned myself out by the age of 12.  I know that episode, and yeah, I found it annoying too.  Radar was loveable, but grating at the same time.  Kind of like the show itself...

  Yup.  I have all the seasons on DVD, so far.  Ten down, one to go...

  What's this talk I'm hearing of FOX re-releasing all the DVD seasons once again, with the exception that the outtakes, interviews, behind the scenes and commentary will be included this time..?

  Know anything about this..? go ;)...

We DID have all but the last but had to send Season 9 back because of a messed up disc. Still need to get that one. Season 11 (the last) should be out in Dec.

I haven't heard anything about the re-release.

The problem we have had is not so much as the disc popping out, but at least one episode won't play.  >:(  I don't know how many discs we have had to return.  >:( >:( >:(
