4. Burns and Houlihan, ‘M.A.S.H.’

Okay, in all honesty, Frank Burns and Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan certainly work. They’re both slavishly dedicated to their jobs, they both believe in decorum and duty, and they both feel surrounded, excluded, and alone in their Korean War postings. But they really suck as people, so it’s hard to root for their inclusion. Just the thought of them being intimate is so gross it has the potential of ruining the whole war for everybody.
