MASH sucks

[Mustard Stain]

I don't know if this made a difference for anyone else, but growing up on both sides of the border, I found the Canadian broadcasts way better. The U.S. broadcasts are the only ones that had the laugh track. Maybe it was a perception thing and the laugh track somehow "cheapened" the effect for me, but I never saw the show as a comedy growing up. It was more of a light drama with some comedic highlights.

My perception of the show changed immensely when we were back in the U.S. The laugh track implied "zany antics" and that's not the vibe I had from the show at all.
