I enjoyed the first episode of "After MASH". It could continue to be just as popular as "MASH". I didn't like the fact that some very weird type of characters were introduced for what seems like no other purpose than to be the butt of several jokes and to add some personal conflicts.

It seemed to be very contrived (standard devoted doctors vs. mean old administators plot (we see this on every medical show)) with very little of the sense of urgency which helped "M*A*S*H" survive. Even the scene in which the Korean vet invaded the Potter's home seemed dull and lifeless. However, I think it will probably last a season or two, given the name.

After M*A*S*H seemed like two seperate shows to me. Anyone agree? The first half was quite boring and slow moving. Just getting you cuaght up on what had happened to Col Potter. When Klinger was (re)introduced it picked up a little, but not much. It wasn't until they got to Father Mulchayhe(?) that it picked up and got interesting. Telling what happened to him since the war in the context of whta was currently happening, and having the other two characters take part in the scenes lift the show of it's floundering rear. Some of the humor was a bit dry, but overall the show probably deserves to be seen some more before we extoll or bury it. Some of the shows will probably deal with age (Potter), inter-cultural maraige (especially of someone from the "enemy side")(Klinger), etc. Anybody have any opinions of the young secretary in Alma Cox's office. Do you get the feeling that she will try to seduce/make some moves on Max? Only time will tell. Jeff Grunewald [seismo, mcnc, brl-bmd, allegra, we13]!rlgvax!jsg
