I recently decided to haul out the old DVDs of M*A*S*H. What I found both hysterically funny and poignant years ago I gave up on after a couple of episodes. These guys were sex pests. It just didn't seem funny any more. They were persistent, ignored refusals and harassed the nurses continually.

I found this funny in the past; today not at all.
