Trapper wasn't killed, he got sent stateside. I think MASH was better after Trapper and before Charles. Some of the episodes with Charles are good, but not as good as the Frank Burns episodes.Originally posted by jdjdjd
MASH was great until Henry Blake and Trapper were killed, then it was good, until Frank Burns left, and then it was annoying and preachy, whereas shows like Seinfeld, I Love Lucy and the Honeymooners, had briefe periods of weakness but always rebounded.
I also can tell, before they start the cast names whether or not an episode of MASH has Charles in it.Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!Comment

No, but they are considered different from open-ended series' and would likely appear on another list... "The 20 greatest mini-series" or something. Iirc, the first American serial drama was NBC's "Rich Man Poor Man" which went on for 3 nights back in... '76? '78? Late '70s, anyhow, but before "Roots".Originally posted by Bugs ****ing Bunny
When these polls get done on British TV, serial dramas of 3-12 episodes tend to feature very highly- such as "Traffik", "Shooting the past", "The Singing Detective", "I, Claudius" and "Edge of Darkness".
There doesn't appear to be any comparable ones on the US list- they're all long-running (even open-ended dramas). Are such serials a British phenomenon?Comment

Just to fill in one of the gaps --
An American Family was probably the first "reality" television show. Very early 70's. They took a bunch of cameras into the home of a real family in California (San Diego, I think), filmed everything that went on in their lives and broadcast an edited version. And no, I didn't watch it, I only heard about it.Comment

The Man from U.N.C.L.E.!
My guess is that a few of the voters were from my generation.
As schlocky as the show was, it was one of our favorites when we were kids. RAH
