Two similar themed marathons are being aired tomorrow on TVLand and Antenna TV. I will take M*A*S*H any day, never did think much of McHale's Navy.

Oh I love McHales Navy . Thanks for letting us know. Hope to catch a few eps.

I'm not a MASH fan.

I picked MASH but I havent seen the other so......

Do they have laughing in the other one also?? (I dont think MASH is a show where laughing should be heard!!)

McHale's Navy did have a laugh track, although unlike M*A*S*H which started off as a pure comedy with occasional dramatic episodes until it became a dramady, McHale's Navy was purely a sitcom for its entire run.

I guess McHale. MASH really lost its way over the years.

Mike Farrell was in both series. It was a close episode count. 179-1.

Oddly, he was in McHale's Washing Machine Charlie episode, but not MASH's Five O'Clock Charlie.
