Entertainment & Music Mash V Get Smart V Seinfeld???

[Sweet Undies]

I don't watch Mash/Get Smart as much as should but when I do I always get a good laugh. Mash has got constant one liners, as does Get Smart but I find Seinfeld the funniest show I've watched. Seinfeld dosent come close to those two shows for line after line of humour.

I think Mash was voted best tv comedy show ever? As I say, I'm more a fan of Seinfeld but applaud the writers of both Mash and Get Smart.

I'll whack up a poll and see how we go.......just interested

Seinfeld by the length of the universe.

Seinfeld by the length of the universe.

+1.

Never really liked MASH. Get Smart was pretty good, but Seinfeld definitely the best of the 3.

 

[d-12]

Seinfeld, other two don't come close.

 

[Bomber32]

Get Smart by a mile. I can watch all five seasons of the show repeatedly and roll on the couch in stitches from laughing every time. I certainly can't say the same thing about MASH and Seinfeld.

 

[The_Doctor]

I dont like any of them really, Seinfeld is ok every now and then but the outside characters are always the biggest w***ers

 

[rocker_oz33]

Seinfeld giddy up
get smart 99 was abit of alright
then mash spuds.

 

[Saint KFC]

Seinfeld > Get Smart > Mash

I was casual fan of MASH - 5pm weekdays used to be great. I reckon it's pretty hilarious I'm a more avid fan of Seinfeld though - I guess it's more entertaining on the whole.

 

[The Passenger]

mash is s**t

get smart is good

seinfeld is legendary

end of story

 

[Messenger]

They are all great, but I voted MASH.

 

[Black Diamond]

For pure lols:

Seinfeld >>>>>>>> Mash >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Get Smart

But in terms of genuine show quality:

Seinfeld = Mash >>>>>>>>>> Get Smart

Seinfeld by the length of the Flemington Straight.

Never really got into MASH or Get Smart, they just seem a bit too dated to me now while Seinfeld is a timeless comedy series like Fawlty Towers.

MASH does have the best theme song though.

Early MASH was some of the best television ever. I've always watched MASH and tried to relate it to what was happening at the time namely Watergate and Vietnam. The period in which the early MASH and indeed the exceptional Robert Altman film on which the series was based was one of huge upheaval in the US and I think the series writers reflected a lot of contemporary America in the program. Sacred cows were slayed during the early seasons. For this reason alone I think MASH probably just shades the other two.

Haha why is this even a poll?
Seinfeld easy

Get Smart is great. I love that show. Seinfeld shits me off, I can't stand it.
Never had time for Mash.

Yeah, this. People forget what it was like before it became the Reverend Alan Alda Show.

Never really got into Seinfeld, but what I've watched of it was pretty good.

Get Smart is great for those who get the humour, and the movie was pretty bad compared to the series (Steve Carell made it better).

Always thought mash was alright but a little outdated and tedious. Great song though

My vote goes to Get Smart.

 

[Hipster Doofus]

Seinfeld, not even close, and i rate Get Smart highly

 

[Roobs321]

MASH easily for me. I have observed that most of the Y generation seem to ignore/hate it for some reason, but for me MASH always just had a magical quality about it that surpasses practically all other long-running comedy tv.

Exactly this. Get Smart was so original at the time and had brilliant characters, but Seinfeld is just the greatest and most influencial comedy ever.


The Chief: KAOS has ways of making a man talk. If you're captured and there's no way out, this pill when swallowed will bring painless death in about 10 seconds. Any questions?
Max: Just one, how do I get him to take it?

I'm Gen X but I still can't go passed Seinfeld. Mash is second though & as I have gotten a little older I've been able to appreciate Mash more. However it does not come close to Seinfeld.

Get Smart never did it for me, although I did laugh as a small child at the unsubtle nature of the show.

 

[Handsome.B.Wonderful]

Curb is better than all three.

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

MASH is a comedy??

MIND = BLOWN

 

[Hue_Jars]

Worst pole ever - there is no contest
