Robert Altman Says I’m A Racist
This sure was a good television series when it was called M*A*S*H. These guys are shameless, they even reference M*A*S*H in all its glory on their own site. I especially enjoy the very Frank Burns-like quote used at the top of the page. Blasphemy. Am I really supposed to accept an HMO as a replacement for the United States Army? Please. I could just imagine the creators, sitting down for their weekly script meeting…
Story Editor: “We should make one of the characters clairvoyant, making them able to hear the ambulance sirens long before they actually arrive.”
Producer: “I agree. I feel as though having some strange, and often times humorous, announcements play over the hospital’s intercoms to act as transitional devices between scenes would really spice things up.”
Story Editor: “I Know! We could even have a character die! They could be taking a trip to Korea when their plane is shot down over the sea. It will spin in. There will be no survivors.”
Producer: “Why hasn’t anybody thought of this before?”
Ground breaking television, folks. Ground breaking television.
I’m going to go watch The Adventures of Pete & Pete.
