MASH is a smash! [18 Sep 1972, p.61]
-
Whas makes M*A*S*H great, however, is not political/social statement but the artistic finesse which makes is simultaneously good entertainment and of mass appeal. [29 Sep 1972, p.50]
-
The TV version has the same fast, funny pacing of the movie. Lines and situations ricochet from every angle. [19 Sep 1972, p.8C]
-
It plays beautifully, the guys are good and believable and, most important, very funny. [18 Sep 1972, p.9]
-
A rollicking spoof of the medicos, the army, the nurses, the Korean conflict. [17 Sep 1972, p.118]
-
How really pleasant it is to report that M*A*S*H turned up on Sunday night with the spirit of the original, if not all the blood and free-swinging language, intact. [18 Sep 1972, p.31]
-
St. Louis Post-DispatchFeb 13, 2023It definitely is not family entertainment, but the times they are a-changin' and M-A-S-H should do well with folks who aren't watching "The World of Disney." [18 Sep 1972, p.41]
-
As a wild and wooly satire on army life, however, M*A*S*H will delight anyone who has spent even eight weeks in basic training let alone fought in a war. [18 Sep 1972, p.75]
-
The same absurd attitude that prevailed in the movie is in the series, and it should have a fine run.
-
If the jokes seem funnier -- which they do -- then it's a good deal because they are slicker. [04 Jun 1973, p.8]
-
Of the main characters there are about 11 in number, the large majority being thoroughly reprehensible in nature while the rest are simply boors; in this respect the series pays homage to the movie. [18 Sep 1972, p.B6]
-
While I am at once outraged at this profiteering by bad taste, I am sympathetic to those who are cast in the roles of the medical staff. [24 Sep 1972, p.90]
