The poll open for the last two months repeated a question I first asked in 2011: How often do you watch M*A*S*H? The results were perhaps not surprisingly exactly the same this time around as they were the first time. A decent majority of visitors said they watch the show daily. Here are the full results:
Daily (69%, 99 Votes)
Weekly (21%, 30 Votes)
Monthly (6%, 9 Votes)
Never (4%, 6 Votes)
Total Voters: 144
For comparison, here are the results from the 2011 poll:
Daily (72%, 197 Votes)
Weekly (19%, 53 Votes)
Monthly (6%, 17 Votes)
Never (3%, 6 Votes)
Total Voters: 273
Back in 2011 I actually wasn’t watching M*A*S*H at all on a regular basis. These days I’m usually watching at least one episode a week. Have your viewing habits changed over the past few years?
Preview December’s Poll:
This month’s poll, which may continue into next year, asks visitors whether they’ve seen every single episode of M*A*S*H. I’m guessing most have but we’ll see.
Well, this confirms my suspicion that this month’s poll was a repeat, which is one of the reasons why I didn’t vote this month (though, for some reason, one visit had me as having voted for daily, and another visit had me has having voted for weekly).
The other reason is because my watching habits flip-flop all the time, depending on my moods: I’d say I watch M*A*S*H almost daily, but not always.
I voted “weekly” because there are times when I watch it daily and times when I may go a month without, so I figure it averages out to weekly.
90% of the time I watch seasons 1-4 only. I rarely view any of the later seasons, if I do I usually pick only episodes that I know that I like (for examples I never re-watch “Dreams” — an episode I hated from the first time it ever aired).
When I voted last year, M*A*S*H was on TVLand and I watched it every single day. This year, I voted ‘Never’ because it is no longer on TV and I haven’t seen an episode in ages. Hopefully, TVLand or another channel sees fit to start airing the show again. I miss watching it.
Or… you could invest in the DVDs, where the picture quality is far superior, and the episodes are complete and uncut.
That is true. The Martinis and Medicine Collection is well worth the investment.
