The series has been very well received, with several posts becoming popular on several social media sites and attracting several new incoming links. At the end of each post I mention that I haven’t covered all of the possible lessons from each show and without fail, I receive several comments with other suggestions and lessons I missed.

I can understand how seeing the show first would affect how you viewed the book. I'm assuming the characters are the same and you'd naturally picture the actors from the series regardless of any physical description given.

It's kind of in the style of Joseph Heller. It was o.k., but I read the book after I'd seen the television series, so I think that had some bearing on what I thought of the book. I guess it was considered quite subversive when it first came out. That was, I believe, in 1968. It was written by Richard Hooker. It’s kind of in the style of Joseph Heller.

I've seen it a few times and bought a copy on DVD a couple of years ago. It's a little weird seeing different people playing the characters with the exception of Gary Burghoff. I never read the book and didn't know there was one until recently. Is the book good? The movie is somewhat different than the series, but it’s still pretty good.

I did read the book on which the movie and the series were based. I think the series is my favorite version. I think I’ve seen parts of the original movie.

I don't think I can pick one. I think the one where Hawkeye and Radar go to pick up B.J. was a good introduction for him to the show. Henry's last episode is pretty memorable, mostly for the one scene at the end. I think the show really hit its stride a few seasons in, but some of my favorite shows all come from the original cast in those first few years. I'm not sure why though. Did you ever see the movie?

One that always stood out to me was the one where Col. Potter gets a bottle of either whiskey or brandy that he and some friends had stashed during WWII. The last one left of the group was supposed to drink a toast to the others. He's the last one left, and he starts acting weird and everyone thinks he's ill. There was some great acting in that episode. I was a huge fan of the show, so there are many episodes I really loved. Some because they were funny and some because they were so touching.

I agree there's so much that can be covered looking at M*A*S*H like a comparison between the the technical production of the show (camera shots, lighting, scenery, etc) to some of the presentation details of a blog post. A meme might not be a bad idea. The show should be well known enough. Now you've got me curious about your next lessons on blogging post. I think the series has been great. The posts work even if you're not all that familiar with some of the shows. Thanks Ben.
