Back To The 70's


Recommended Posts

"MASH" was mentioned and discussed in the sister thread, 36&Up. Hawkeye, Trapper John, Radar, etc. Thing is, MASH was never really big in our lovely PI. Unfortunately. I think it was because many Filipinos couldn't understand the humor. Perhaps the networks executives themselves couldn't.

 

I think it is the type of humor which was morbid and anti-war that the Filipinos did not understand. When I saw it first time on TV when I was in Grade school, I couldn't understand why there is a laughing backround while two doctors where operating in the middle of a tent hospital. Only when the Vietnam movies in the 80s followed like Rambo and I read about the Anti-War movement in the US did I understand the humor behind MASH.

Ang haba na ng thread na ito, but has anyone mentioned MASH?

 

Comedy Vietnam war series associated the popular song Suicide Is Painless.

 

Suicide is painless

It brings so many changes

But I can take or leave it

If I will

I think the setting was North Korea, not Vietnam.

Korek ba ko? :P

 

I think MASH the TV series was quite a hit here too because the series ran for a long time here. Most of the guys in the movie except for Trapper John were not in the series. Alan Alda cut his chops in the series. Siya ang nagdala ng show.

Yes the setting was the KoreaN war.

I thought MCS was raided by those two Labradors (with a bounty on their head) just this Monday? I was there yesterday and madami pa ding tinda. :D Finally got hold of FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH - time to feast again on the naked charms of Phoebe Cates and Jennifer Jason Leigh, who by the way is the daughter of Vic Morrow.

I remember UFO, but I can't recall the names of the actors. I remember that it was a British series. I also remember that car, the doors of which opened upward.

 

Other popular British series during the 70s were Randall and Hopkirk, The Persuaders, The Saint, The Avengers, and Dr. Who. There were a lot more, but these are the ones I remember offhand.

Is this the one where some wierd humanoids or something, wearing enclosed helmets gets filled with dark fluid?

 

Yup, whenever they captured a human they would force him to wear the helmet then fill it with the

fluid to convert him to their kind.

 

The humans had 'interceptors' to fight the alien flying saucers. The interceptor had a single missile attached to its nose.

At the time i was thinking what if you missed? :blink:
