I was going to post this when the thread was first started but wasn't sure if it was a true sitcom.
MASH is a sitcom, and a very good one.
I always liked MacLean Stevenson's character, Col. Blake. He cracked me up when Klinger appeared in his office with a woman's bathrobe, and Blake yelled at him, "For God's sake, Klinger, it's almost noon and you're still in a bathrobe. Go to your tent and put on a dress!" Klinger left and he turned to Pierce and complained, "You got to stay on these guys all the time."
Up until "Seinfeld," I would have regarded "MASH" as my all-time favorite sitcom. I loved Col. Blake, too. But MASH was just as great for its recurring characters like the nutbag Col. Flagg, Scully, & Rizzo. I liked Trapper slighly more than BJ Honnicut and thought the character of Frank Burns was played brilliantly by Larry Linville.
My other favorite sitcoms include "Cheers," "Night Court," "Soap," "Barney Miller," "WKRP in Cincinnati," and "Arrested Development."
