No, I don't. I can see some of the other shows on that list being there, but I don't agree with AfterMASH being on the list. Let alone at the top of it.

The show wasn't perfect and I think they made too many changes to the second season that probably weren't necessary. They could have done more with developing Mike and Alma's relationship rather than send him off and bring in that obnoxious turd to replace him. Also, Dr. Boyer was probably brought in to be sort of a rebellious "Hawkeye" character, but hearing the pity party about his lost leg every week got a little old at times. Too bad he wasn't on there when Klinger's 4077th buddy Pete Sax came to the hospital in that one episode. He lost a leg too but at least he didn't let it drag him down and make him feel sorry about himself.

It's in alphabetical order.

Okay I didn't notice that. Thanks.

I don't agree.

I actually couldn't stand MASH after the second season, but understand people's fondness for it. It's like anything else, once you have something, get familiar and comfortable with it, that thing, whatever it is, usually sticks around.

That doesn't mean I liked MASH or its spinoff, because I didn't, but it makes sense that someone would risk money on producing it.
