Jim Fulner reviewed MAS*H Mania by Richard hooker

Hooker goes overboard on the right-wing comedy

4 stars

I felt Mash Mania was better written than the ones written by Butterworth, but I still didn't enjoy it that much. It feels like Hooker was trying very hard to say "no, Hawkeye isn't the goody-two-does liberal they show on T.V."

In Spruce Harbor he is a hard right-winger. I don't think I have ever read the N-Word so many times. There were also slurs against Poles, Italians, Natives, and southern whites.

He also speaks poorly against the born-again Christians.

I guess that was supposed to be funny?
