    Of course.

    You know in the US they aired MASH with a laugh track? There's an explanation about it on the MASH wikipedia page.

    Yep, big fan of MASH. Ironically the series went on longer than the US involvement in that war (or police action I think they prefer to call it?)

    Even if you just watched one ep per week I think it still outran the conflict by about a years worth!

    Oh yeah, I remember M.A.S.H, it was an amazing show and I loved watching it. I only caught the later series as I was too young to be watching it in the mid-70s :) People complain about repeats but I was glad of them for this show!

    There was also a more direct spin-off show made called "AfterMASH". Unlike Trapper, it featured several members of the original MASH cast too.

    I don't know if AfterMASH ever got shown over here? I've not seen it and had never even heard of it until I started researching. Apparently it wasn't too successful as it got axed right in the middle of the second season.

    The film was brilliant as well, if I remember correctly it starred Elliot Gould and Donald Sutherland.
    The sieries was a terrific piece of comedy/satire on war.
    Wayne Rogers who played Trapper John was only in the first three seasons, he later starred in a dective series set in LA in the 30's called City of Angels.
