I had foolishly bought each DVD seperatly , so I will write this review for all of the set. These DVDs are watched all the time now. I have such a crush on Alan Alda, and a yearning to be close them all the time. This is what makes this collection so dear to my heart. They are funny, and always make me laugh, no matter what mood I am in. BUT, they are heartbreakingly true about the horrors of war. These Doctors, nurses and staff, all faced Hell, and yet stuck it out to help all the fallen Victims. Not just the soldiers, but citizens of Korea who were suffering and in the middle of it all. The Doctors who faced death everyday themselves to patch up the young brave men, and then having to send them back into the waiting arms of terror. Alda was Superb as the dedicated Doctor who helped all he met, even though he hated the war with every breath he took. Now that we are at war again, I feel everyone should see this. You will realize that we [mostly] hate war, but do support the young men and women who are putting this lives in real danger to protect us all. They were the true Heroes, those who actually fought or helped repair our soldiers bodies and sometimes their minds too, and all the soldiers, who came home missing limbs and part of the Souls, and to those who never made it home. This is tv at it's best! It should be in every home and on everyone's mind!

Another reviewer has helpfully added synopses for all of the episodes, so I'll just add a few thoughts about Season 10 when taken as a whole.

Although I thought the show improved swapping Colonel Potter for Henry Blake and Charles Emerson Winchester III for Frank Burns, the cast mix definitely suffers from the loss of Gary Burghoff as Walter "Radar" O'Reilly. Corporal Max Klinger has shed his dresses and pursuit of the "Section Eight" discharge after taking over as company clerk, and although Klinger is still a great and interesting character (and featured in more storylines this season), the show as a whole suffers without the sweet and innocent perspective of Radar.

Hawkeye is more different than his gradual progression from the other nine seasons combined. The early Hawkeye is the uncontested King of the surgeons as well as an incorrigible ladies man. The medical skills of season ten Hawkeye are depicted as only on a par with the remainder of the staff, and Dr. Pierce is frequently rebuffed by the nurses who in previous years wouldn't hesitate to accompany the olive-clad Lothario to a rendez-vous behind the motor pool or supply room.

The item came in perfect condition and quickly. There has been no problems with the DVDs or anything. I would order again from this individual.

You want drama, action, comedy, the horrors of war? Never found anything that could even come close to MASH. The actors are all top-notch. I still laugh and cry when I watch the episodes, even after all these years. A series every TV lover should own!!!

This DVD completed my MASH collection. I enjoy watching and rewatching this series. A must for the MASH Fan!!

This is a Christmas gift for my brother-in-law. He has almost all of the episodes so I am sure he will love this. The shipping was very fast and it looked as though it as in GREAT condition.

I'm a big fan of mash, so if I had to rate the product, I would give it 5 stars. The seller, however, wrote the wrong darn address on it and it took about 3 times as long to get here as it should have. Proofread proofread proofread!!!
