5.0 out of 5 stars No Complaints May 15, 2007

By John Robinson

I understand the frustration to all who bought the season by season sets (myself included) but to those who didn't, but wanted the finale, this is a five-star set. This is STILL the highest-rated single episode in TV history - 125 million viewers - and that number is a far cry from the actual consumers who will buy the complete set; so for those, here ya are! The finale with all the extras!

The 30th Reunion Special features all the main stars (except the deceased McLean Stevenson and Larry Linville, even though there ARE interview clips of those two presented here) along with Gene Reynolds, Larry Gelbart, Burt Metcalfe and Allan Arbus (Dr. Sidney Freedman); Mike Farrell hosts this special, which aired in 2002. It's good to see Wayne Rogers and Alan Alda together again, although grayer. Loretta Swit still looks hot, but is that Botox or a face-lift? Jamie Farr never seems to age and Harry Morgan looks pretty feeble, yet feisty. Gary Burghoff is chunkier but still carries that sweet "Radar-ish" aura. William Christopher looks great as well, and there are times when he shoots the others a frustrated "why-did-you-tell-them-that?" glance when some Father Mulcahy behind-the-scenes anecdotes are told. If you've never heard David Ogden Stiers' real voice, you'll be surprised how much he does NOT sound like Major Winchester! The cast also tells us how much they loved working with Larry Linville (Major Burns) as his real personality was the complete opposite of ol' Ferret-Face. This Reunion Special is the best "extra" in the set.

"Memories Of MASH" is an old TV special, hosted by Shelley Long, probably due to her success on "Cheers."

The bloopers are good, but not enough of them.

"Jocularity" is a cast retrospective based on the word uttered by Father Mulcahy from time to time.

"Just The FAQs" is a ten-question MASH-trivia game for the viewer. The other special features are pretty self-explanatory.

I didn't mind buying this set, even though I have all the separate season collections - it's reasonably priced and not boxed in a clunky package as the season sets are.

I see too many TV-DVD reviewers on Amazon complaining about SO MANY television releases (mostly due to music or other alterations) and I see no reason for anyone to TRULY complain about this set, aside from those who already own GOODBYE, FAREWELL AND AMEN on season 11.

So, for those of you who loved the show, but aren't buying the season-by season sets, you will whole-heartedly get a kick out of this set (and prepare to get misty-eyed a couple of times).

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally April 29, 2007

By Mark Ebert

When it comes to box sets I am not a completest. If I were to collect every season of every television show I have enjoyed I would spend the next 30-40 years doing little more than watching TV. Therefore, I was excited to see that my very favorite episode--perhaps of all time--is being released on its own.

I did collect the third season of M*A*S*H (my favorite overall), but I was hoping to add "Goodbye, Farewell & Amen". This is the motion picture lengtht series finale to the greatest comedy-drama ever filmed. Unlike many series enders this one nicely wraps up the futures of the characters and, after waiting for the war to end and to go home, it finally happens.

I only wish on this DVD set they would have included all of the "After M*A*S*H" episodes, that series was not popular at all at the time of its original airing, but for those of you who have collected all 11 seaons why not have the spin-off?

I am glad to see "Memories of M*A*S*H" released to DVD, as I think that is the best "M*A*S*H" reunion special featuring interveiws with many of the cast members who have since passed away.

1.0 out of 5 stars A slap-in-the-face to die-hard collectors... April 24, 2007

By G. Pius

Amazon Verified Purchase

FOX has once again demonstrated that they are greedy, money-grubbing scum.

To charge $29.99--as much as a complete season--for a bonus disc set that comes FOR FREE with the "Martinis and Medicine" boxed set, and that includes an episode that we die-hard collectors ALREADY HAVE as part of the Season Eleven release, is positively SHAMEFUL and a severe slap-in-the-face to the die-hard collectors, like me, who have faithfully shelled out my $25 every six months for each season. So we've already paid MORE for collecting the entire series over time than the purchasers of the "Martinis and Medicine" boxed set, AND have to pay AGAIN for the bonus DVDS!? Ridiculous!!!

FOX should be GIVING the bonus material to people who have patiently collected the ENTIRE DVD collection as a serious thank you!

I am tremendously upset with FOX and have already told them so via e-mail correspondence. I will write them via snail-mail as well, and would encourage other like-minded series collectors to do the same. Their addresses are available on their website.
