BigAl Posted May 30 Report Posted May 30 Major Margaret "Hot Lips"Houlihan aka Loretta Swit. Loved her back in the day. You youngsters have probably never even heard of M.A.S.H If so, you haven't lived lads Quote

You youngsters have probably never even heard of M.A.S.H If so, you haven't lived lads M.A.S.H. didn't have a laughter track when it was shown in the U.K., but it does in the U.S and here in Australia. It's a much better watch without the laughter track. Just saw this on Wiki 'The laugh track is also omitted from some international and syndicated airings of the show. On one occasion during an airing on BBC2 in the UK, the laugh track was accidentally left on, and viewers expressed their displeasure; an apology from the network for the "technical difficulty" was later released, for during its original run on BBC2 in the UK, it had been shown without the laugh track. UK DVD critics speak poorly of the laugh track, stating "canned laughter is intrusive at the best of times, but with a programme like M*A*S*H, it's downright unbearable."[20] Quote

Still the best box set I ever bought. Think there's only 4 cast members still alive now 1 Quote
tom_widdows Posted May 31 Report Posted May 31 Thinking about it now the laugh track is only in the early series. Completely removed when they really started to push the Anti Vietnam message Quote
