Just... wrong. I guess I can understand Europeans not liking M*A*S*H, since its humor was highly dependent on an American POV about war that was largely informed by the feelings about the Vietnam War. A lot of Americans actually don't like it either, I guess because it also relied on legitimately intelligent drama, which might turn off someone looking for a less cerebral sitcom -- not to mention the age gap when it comes to humor.
Seriously though, as far as intelligent comedies go, it's right up there with the smartest sitcoms of the modern era, and it was in an time when that kind of humor just wasn't on TV (at least to my knowledge).
