On this date in 1983 - the last episode on MASH was aired. I missed it. And I have never seen it since.
I had to work that night in 1983 at my first "real" job. Sure I had paper routes and a job as a busboy before but my job at Arby's was my first job with a real paycheck that took out taxes and everything. I was kinda bummed at missing the show because I knew everyone would be talking about it but there were so many articles the next day that I knew every plot turn anyway. Father Mulchahy deaf - check. Klinger married - check. Hawkeye crazy - check. See no need to ever watch it.
When Wayne Rogers left - he took the funny with him. All that was left was "preachy" and even at my tender age in 1983 - I was all full up on preachy. Still am.
I ate line 5 Swiss Kings a night when I worked at Arby's.
ReplyDeleteMy thing was to dip curly fries into the melted cheddar cheese. Put on about 10 pounds working there.
