MASH is great because larry gelbart was like “i want to make a tv show criticizing american involvement in the vietnam war” and cbs was like “No you’re gonna make a tuesday night family sitcom” and alan alda was like “the studio has tricked me, circus trained alan alda, into being here, so i’m going to portray a closeted bisexual” and larry linville was like “i’m in a three stooges ripoff!”
