I have caught a new fever, and its called "M*A*S*H".
Yes, its the same old sitcom, that you and I heard and watched when the TV was above our eye level.
Chanced upon it, and ended up watching 3 seasons in a row.
Briefly it is about a Mobile Army Surgery hospital.
It has umpteen number of funny characters. The main ones being two surgeons, who have a world of their own.
Wiki would offer you a better explaination of plot etc. I cant do it better here. However the two characters that really caught my attention were "Hawk Eye" (One of the surgeon) and obviously "Radar". "Hawk Eye" would be your inherently funny guy, with great one-liners. You can call him Chandler. But I would prefer calling Chandler as Hawk Eye.
Radar is a charming boyish character with an ESP. He is the one, who girls would call "Cho chweet". He is suppose to be a teen in the army. Remember an episode where he says he's 19 and calls himself a colonel! Everyone adores him and Hawk eye once offers to adopt him. He is the one who does the odd jobs.
The whole series revolves around the Korean War. It would be typical to call it a "black comedy", with an Operation theatre scene in every episode.
Another noticable character is the Head Nurse called "Hot lips". She hates Hawk Eye and his accomplice, Trapper, though at one instance she makes out with one of them
The classic part of this series is the perfect balance of humour and grief. The comedy is not vulgar, but naughty sometimes. Death and wounds are vulnerable throughout.
You would laugh your hearts out when you watch it, and maybe sob if you are of the senti types
Right now hunting around to get the whole series on DVD :)
