Tough one for me because I love both shows. I’m gonna go with M_A_S\*H ---

M_A_S\*H. But I will be _really_ surprised if Seinfeld doesn’t win. It’s probably the cooler choice. I do love ‘em both. Both series took a couple of years to find their footing IMO, and I dislike both of their’ final seasons, but on the whole these are two excellent examples of stretching the boundaries of sitcoms (in veerrry different ways). For pure sentimentality’s sake I’m going with M_A_S\*H. The acting, the writing, the emotion, the comedy/drama … yep, it’s awesome. Also, Mike Farrell was my first real actor crush, so what choice have I got? ---

Seinfeld. I find M_A_S\*H ghastly and I have an uncontrollable urge to flip the channel when I hear the dire theme music. Hearing that song makes me think that I should find something more important to do. Like sleep. ---

Interesting match up. Seinfeld is the anti-MASH. Seinfeld purposely kept the show ‘just funny’ which MASH was one of the pioneers of the comedy show that could be serious. And that’s why I’m voting for **M_A_S_H_** ---

M_A_S_H. Definitely M_A_S_H. Gotta be M_A_S_H. M_A_S_H,M_A_S_H,M_A_S_H. Did I mention M_A_S\*H? Seinfeld blows. 😛 ---

Gah, nearly an impossible choice. M_A_S\*H made me chuckle happily for many, many years, and I developed a genuine fondness for some of the characters and actors that continues to the present. Seinfeld, on the other hand, made me laugh out loud frequently and sometimes hysterically. When it comes right down to it, though, I don’t quote lines from M_A_S\*H, so my vote goes to: **III. Seinfeld** \* - Recognizing, of course, that the **real** best sitcom of all time is _The Dick Van Dyke Show_, which was not represented in this contest. ---
