Abstract
- The article analyzes the television series "M.A.S.H.," based on Robert Altman's 1970 movie M A S H, produced by Gene Reynolds and written by Larry Gelbart. Particular focus is given to the transformative leap from the military comedies that preceded it. The author discusses that Larry Gelbart was one of the few television writers who truly deserved the title genius but it never let audiences relax into the assumption that war was a laughing matter.
