[leonardcohenofficial]

How do you think Mrs. and Mrs. Who would unfold? That's a very powerful concept

this is an incredible question; okay in my imagined scenario i could see margaret and charles getting sent to tokyo together where they hang out with donna and get blackout and wake up the next day thinking that one of them must have hooked up with her but they can’t figure out who it was and start freaking out when she leaves an ambiguous note saying she had a fantastic time and wants to come visit the 4077th; cut to the two of them falling over themselves for her arrival only to find out that donna was like “we were all wasted nobody had sex with anybody i was just super happy to meet other bi people” and after everybody breathes a sigh of relief they have the party, margaret hooks up with donna and they have a great time, and they decide to become pen pals and agree to look each other up when they’re in the same city

M*A*S*H: A Product of the Times

At first, it doesn’t really seem all that obvious like M*A*S*H was a show of the 1970s.

Being set in the 1950s in a military hospital gave some leeway when it came to hairstyles and clothing (Mostly military uniforms).  Even the discussion of the news and pop culture (although occasionally inaccurate for individual years) that happened around camp placed the show firmly in a period past, another in a string of television shows and films made in the 1970s that were set in the 1950s.  Even some things, like attitudes towards women and the minority of non-white cast members seems to place the show so firmly in the 1950s, it might be hard to pick out that this is a ‘70s show.

But in reality, M*A*S*H might not have been made if not for the 1970s.

Coming on the heels of the 1960s, the ‘70s were quite a period of change.  Following the Civil Rights movement, American culture was beginning to be more integrated.  Disco was big on the scene, and styles were quickly becoming…a lot.  The digital revolution began as video games and personal computers began to become a little more prevalent, and thanks to movie directors like George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, the blockbuster became a staple of every movie season.  As for television, edutainment shows like Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood and Sesame Street took off while Star Trek experienced its first reruns, gaining the audience it’d never had during it’s runtime.  Game-shows experienced a comeback, and cop shows replaced the westerns as the most-watched action shows of the decade, and family dramas took up another chunk of the airwaves, while variety shows and increasingly daring sketch comedy filled up the rest.

Throughout all this, sitcoms like Happy Days enjoyed incredible success, along with more ‘issue based’ sitcoms like All in the Family, Good Times, and even The Mary Tyler Moore Show.  And it is here that M*A*S*H sits, filling in a slot as one of the ‘issue’ based sitcoms…but why here?  Why in the 1970s, could this show work the best?

As wild and crazy as American culture was becoming after the unrest of the 1960s, one thing held over that had not yet been resolved: America’s involvement in the Vietnam war.

Starting in November of 1955, and ending in April of 1975, the Vietnam conflict was one that occupied much of the world, and much of the American population’s minds.  Between the protestors and people who genuinely supported the effort, the country was torn in two by people who thought we shouldn’t have gotten involved, and people who thought the opposite.

Why does this matter?

Because when the characters on M*A*S*H talk about war, they aren’t just talking about Korea.  Indeed, they aren’t even just talking about Vietnam.  They’re talking about all wars.

But it was very important that this was a show made during Vietnam, rather than before.

Before shows like The A-Team and Magnum P.I. began using the Vietnam conflict as part of backstories of characters, shows like M*A*S*H were still processing the American attitude during the war.  Much like Korea, Vietnam was never officially declared ‘a war’, and was regarded as a ‘police action’.  Much like Korea, a draft recruited soldiers, some just out of high school, into a conflict that blew up into a political struggle.

The difference was, in 1951, Americans were all for Korea.  In 1972, the enthusiasm had waned.  America turned against the war effort, and there lies exactly why M*A*S*H could not have been anything but a ‘70s ‘topical’ sitcom.

When you watch M*A*S*H and listen to the characters speak about the war, the attitude isn’t hard to pick out: anti-war, anti-US involvement, anti-military.  They shouldn’t be here.  They want to go home.  They tried to duck the draft.  One character spends almost all of his time on the show attempting to get discharged due to insanity.  The only characters who are for this war are treated as antagonists.

This wasn’t the attitude of the Korean war.  This was an attitude that could only have existed after Vietnam, if not specifically about Vietnam.

So, the show isn’t dated from a 1950s sense…but that does leave the question of whether or not it’s dated in a 1970s sense.

Ironically, being set in a decade not your own can actually help a series (or film) in the long run.  By not showing contemporary life and creating a world that had already ‘disappeared’, these shows were able to not become relics of the time they were made.  However, in the case of M*A*S*H, some might argue that the show, while groundbreaking and revolutionary in the 1970s, may not hold up so well today.

While not having the traditional troubles of hairstyles, technology and pop culture dating it, M*A*S*H does have a few different, more important issues that might render it a little uncomfortable to modern audiences.  Let’s start with the women.

At first, it may seem almost impossible from a modern standpoint to approach a show where the only major female character is nicknamed Hot Lips, and even if you get past that enough to start the show from the beginning, it doesn’t get much better.

In early seasons of the show, Margaret Houlihan existed primarily as a woman defined by the men she had been with, her attractiveness to her male coworkers, and her stickler army attitude.  Mostly serving as a partner-in-crime to her lover, Frank Burns (who was married), Margaret’s past involvements with many members of high-ranking army brass was a bit of a running joke, as was her level of desirability to her coworkers.

Thankfully, as the show matured, so did the writing for Margaret’s character.  As time went on, Margaret ended up losing not only the nickname, but her intimate relationship with Frank Burns, and even the jokes about her previous relationships disappeared.  After her marriage to Donald Penobscott, and subsequent divorce, Margaret remained unattached for the remainder of the series, as well as the only major female character in the show.  (Pun intended.)

The other female characters appeared in small doses, most notably Nurse Kealani Kellye, a relatively prominent Japanese-Hawaiian nurse.  Most of the nurses tended to be interchangeable, with small parts that (in early seasons especially) tended to rely on the men of the episode.  While there were exceptions (notably “The Nurses”), especially as the show went on, for the most part, the focus of the show tended to be on the male characters.

And it was even worse for characters of color.

Of the main cast, only Klinger (Lebonese) and the aforementioned Nurse Kelleye were not Caucasian.  Early on in the show, a black character by the name of Spearchucker Jones was omitted by the end of the second season (due to writers mistakenly believing that there were no black doctors in the Korean war.

There are other things that date the show: Klinger’s cross-dressing as a gag would likely be looked upon more unfavorably today, as would a few instances of sexual harassment looked over for comedy’s sake.  Korean characters were often portrayed (especially in early season) in rather stereotypical fashions, and were never played by actors of actual Korean descent (though admittedly, there were not many Korean actors in Hollywood at the time).  

In other words, the show wasn’t perfect.  And it certainly was a product of the 1970s.

But, the good news is, it’s not all bad.

M*A*S*H was, overall, a fairly progressive show for its day.  Despite its problems writing women, by the end of the show, Margaret Houlihan was one of the best-developed female characters on television.  The writing for Korean characters improved drastically by the eleventh season, and Klinger’s ‘crossdressing’ gag was never played at his own expense.

And, more importantly?  The characters, attitudes, and interactions, for the most part, ring just as truly now as they did then.

M*A*S*H was definitely fair for its day.  For the 1970s, it was up-to-date, discussing attitudes and problems that were prevalent for the time, and slowly improving in the areas it was somewhat lacking in.  It’s not really a surprise that the show still has a fanbase (and a young one, at that) to this day, full of fans who can recognize the problematic elements of the show, appreciate it’s growth, and enjoy its characters and situations to this day.  These characters still captivate people just as well as they did in 1972, a primary reason that this show, despite its occasional differences from modern ideas, remains so beloved even today.

Thank you guys so much for reading!  If you have a thought, suggestion, or question, don’t be afraid to leave a comment, I’d love to hear from you.  Please join us next time as we look at the facets of M*A*S*H.  I hope to see you there!

@exuberantocean @summerreign4077 here’s the fleshed out project.  Not really any big challenge, more of a “day in the life of the 4077″ with the characters from mid S2 to mid S3 on display.  I wanted to do something with Trap and Blake, because while I don’t like their characters as much, they had a huge influence on the show.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Here’s to Marie, Anna, and a geisha to be named later,” Hawkeye said, packing his bag for a week in Tokyo.  

“You know, one of these days, we might actually have to attend a medical conference instead of just checking in and hitting the ginza,” Trapper responded, causing Hawkeye to stop packing before both broke into laughter.

They were both packed and in the truck when Henry caught them.  You’d never know he was in charge of a military post, from his fishing cap to his general ignorance of the goings-on of the camp to his inability to make a decision.

“Now, listen, guys.  I’m begging you.  At least show up for the first lecture.  Its at 3pm.  You won’t have time for a round of golf and none of the girls will be out working yet, ok? So just, go to one lecture, show your faces, and then go off and make sure I don’t hear about anything you do, ok?” Blake said, all but pleading with two men under his command to follow his orders and attend one of 15 scheduled lectures.

Hawkeye and Trapper exchange looks, “Well, when you put it like that, I guess we can go to the one lecture.  Since there’s nothing else to do.”

“Thank you, now off you go and have all the fun I wish I was having.”

“Henry, you’re a prince!”  Trapper cried as he put the car in gear and nearly ran Radar over.

“Choppers!” 

Blake sighed and held out his hand, “Alright boys, you won’t be needing those passes, plenty of dancing partners here.”

Hawkeye and Trapper look at each other with resignation and more tiredness than either had any right too as young surgeons.  The handed over their passes, picked up their bags, and trudged back to the Swamp.

“Go figure.”

~~~~

“Nurse, I need suction here.” “Now honey, mind my fingers, they’re not as nimble as they used to be.” “What do you say you and me, behind the supply tent, with a couple glasses of orange juice to keep our energy up?”

“Can we get some quiet in here?!? This is surgery, not the local dive bar.” Burns shouted, taking his hands off his patient to the young man’s unconscious relief.

“I don’t know Frank, I’ve seen as much blood at my local dive as I have here, as many beautiful women are present, and I certainly feel drunk.” Hawkeye shot back, tired after six hours of surgery with at least two more to go but not willing to let Frank get away with his misbehavior. “Its even complete with the town idiot.”

“Oh, I’m an idiot now?”

“I never said it was you, did I?”

“Well, who else would it be?”

“Captain, that’s enough.” Major Houlihan ordered as she supervised the nurses, “There’s enough work here for everyone.”

“Especially since we’re gonna hafta bring all of Ferret-face’s patient’s back in here to remove sponges, re-do stitches, and put their only kidney’s back in.” Trapper muttered, causing Nurse Able to laugh. “Ah, see, now there’s more of that behind the supply tent, if you’re up for it.”

“Captain, I happen to know you are a married man, so no I won’t be meeting you behind the supply tent,” Able replied, shaking her head.

“Well, I’m single!” Hawk quipped, spying opportunity and jumping before he looked.

“You’re taking me to Rosie’s tonight, captain!” Nurse Carter exclaimed, but without heat because every nurse, upon arriving to the 4077 was told that the food was awful, Klinger was the local section 8, and Hawkeye was great for fun but not for settling down.

~~~~

“Pierce! MacIntyre!” Frank barked as he exited post-op.

“Yo!” “Departed!” They answered in well-rehearsed chorus.

“You two are unbelievable, embarrassing me like that in front of the nurses!”

“Frank, we couldn’t possibly embarrass you more than you already do asking for the wrong instruments, going slower than Henry Blake, and needing help twice as often besides.  They know you’re a bungler in the operating room, and according to Margaret, you’re a bungler while operating.”

“You- you- you guys!” Frank spluttered, storming off outside the camp.  It was already dark and since both Able and Carter had canceled, the captains retired to the Swamp for light fluid and light sleep.

~~~~~

“Has anyone seen Frank?” Major Houlihan asked at what was called breakfast, though few were breaking their fast, “I haven’t seen him since surgery and we were supposed to meet up afterwards.”

“No I haven’t seen him,” Father Mulcahey answered, “Was it something important?”

“Father, it was earth-shaking.” Pierce said, sincerely enough that Mulcahey believed him and Margaret glared daggers at him. “No, we haven’t seen him since he marched out of camp.”

“Marched out of camp? Why would he do a thing like that?”

Trapper paused his eating, “With any luck, he’s going to volunteer with the Chinese, that should triple their casualty count.”

“Colonel!”

“Alright, alright. Radar!-”

“Get a gang together, look for Burns, don’t get caught by the Chinese, yes sir.” “Get a gang together, look for Burns, don’t get caught by the Chinese, okay? Good.”

~~~~~~

“Sir! We found Major Burns!” Radar reported with the same cheer all NCO’s show when reporting something they’d much rather have no reason to report.

“Where was he?” Blake asked, looking up from his most recent attempt at making a fly-lure and sticking his hand with the hook in the process.

“Officer’s latrine sir, and if I may, I think we need to have Igor wash his hands and start building another one.”

“Really? Didn’t he did this two weeks ago?”

“Yes, sir, but Major Burns has been under all kinds of stress lately, what with Major Houlihan having a weekend in Seoul, his wife writing that she volunteered to supervise a church dance, and Captains Pierce and MacIntyre-”

“I know all about Captains Pierce and MacIntyre and I don’t want to know about Captains Pierce and MacIntyre.  Have Igor dig a new latrine, with a few extra feet of depth at Frank’s end.”

“Yes, sir!”

‘Benson,’ ‘Star Trek’ actor René Auberjonois has died at 79

LOS ANGELES — René Auberjonois, a prolific actor best known for his roles on the television shows “Benson” and “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” and his part in the 1970 film “M.A.S.H.” playing Father Mulcahy, has died. He was 79.

The actor died Sunday at his home in Los Angeles of metastatic lung cancer, his son Rèmy-Luc Auberjonois told The Associated Press.

René Auberjonois worked constantly as a character actor in several golden ages, from the dynamic theater of the 1960s to the cinema renaissance of the 1970s to the prime period of network television in the 1980s and ’90s — and each generation knew him for something different.

For film fans of the 1970s, he was Father John Mulcahy, the military chaplain who played straight man to the doctors’ antics in “M.A.S.H.” It was his first significant film role and the first of several for director Robert Altman.

For sitcom watchers of the 1980s, he was Clayton Runnymede Endicott III, the hopelessly highbrow chief of staff at a governor’s mansion on “Benson,” the ABC series whose title character was a butler played by Robert Guillaume.

And for sci-fi fans of the 1990s and convention-goers ever since, he was Odo, the shape-shifting Changeling and head of space-station security on “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.”

“I am all of those characters, and I love that,” Auberjonois said in a 2011 interview with the “Star Trek” website. “I also run into people, and they think I’m their cousin or their dry cleaner. I love that, too.”

Auberjonois was born in New York in 1940, the son of Fernand Auberjonois, Swiss-born foreign correspondent for U.S. newspapers, and the grandson of a Swiss post-impressionist painter also named René Auberjonois.

The younger René Auberjonois was raised in New York, Paris, and London, and for a time lived with his family in an artists’ colony in Rockland County, New York, whose residents included the actors John Houseman, Helen Hayes and Burgess Meredith.

After graduating from college at Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Institute of Technology, now Carnegie Mellon, Auberjonois hopped around the country joining theater companies, eventually landing three roles on Broadway in 1968, including playing the Fool in a long-running version of King Lear.

The following year he would play Sebastian Baye opposite Katharine Hepburn in “Coco,” a play on the life of designer Coco Chanel that would earn him a Tony for best actor in a leading role in a musical.

He would later see Tony nominations for 1973’s “The Good Doctor,” 1984’s “Big River,” and 1989’s “City of Angels.”

In 1970, Auberjonois began his run with Altman, playing Mulcahy in “M.A.S.H.”

In his most famous exchange from the movie, Sally Kellerman’s Margaret Houlihan wonders how such a degenerate doctor as Donald Sutherland’s Hawkeye Pierce could reach a position of responsibility in the U.S. Army.

A bible-reading Auberjonois responds, deadpan: “He was drafted.”

“I actually made that line up when we were rehearsing the scene,” Auberjonois said on the podcast “The Gist” in 2016. “And it became a kind of an iconic line for the whole film.”

The same year he played an off-the-wall ornithologist in Altman’s “Brewster McCloud,” played a saloonkeeper alongside Warren Beatty in the director’s western “McCabe & Mrs. Miller” in 1971 and appeared in Altman’s “Images” in 1972.

He spent much of the rest of the 1970s doing guest spots on TV shows before joining the cast of “Benson” in its second season in 1980, where he would remain for the rest of the show’s seven seasons, playing the patrician political adviser and chronic hypochondriac Endicott.

Much of his later career was spent doing voices for animation, most memorably as the French chef who sings the love song to fish-killing “Les Poissons” in Disney’s 1989 “The Little Mermaid.”

He played Odo on “Deep Space Nine” from 1993 until 1998 and became a regular at “Star Trek” conventions, where he raised money for Doctors Without Borders and signed autographs with a drawing of Odo’s bucket, where the character would store himself when he returned to his natural gelatinous state.

Auberjonois was also a regular on the ABC law-firm dramedy “Boston Legal” from 2004 to 2008.

Late in his career, Auberjonois would work with independent filmmakers including the artful director Kelly Reichardt, for whom he appeared in 2016’s “Certain Women” and 2019’s “First Cow,” his final role.

In addition to his son, he is survived by his wife of 56 years, writer Judith Auberjonois; sisters Marie-Laure Degener and Anne Auberjonois; daughter Tessa Auberjonois; son-in-law Adrian Latourelle, daughter-in-law Kate Nowlin and three grandchildren.
