5.0 out of 5 stars classic, August 29, 2009

This review is from: M*A*S*H TV Season 1 (DVD)

It's a classic series with a long-lost, intelligent sense of humor not seen on TV these days. It was relevant then and still is now. It was a series with a social conscious. The DVD delivers quality better than I remember on the TV of old. Not much to say other than that. I'm still buying a season or so at a time until I collect them all.

I will say that Amazon's DVD packaging is horrible these days. When I first started buying the series over a year ago, it came in a box. Now it comes in a padded envelope! That's nuts! I have returned many, many DVDs lately because they come crushed, the inner plastic holders broken, and the DVDs scratched.

No matter what DVD you buy from them now, if it comes in an envelope - check it out immediately and return it if damaged. They pay the return postage and send you another one free of charge.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Debut Of A Classic, November 23, 2010

By 

LBloom (Hollywood) - See all my reviews

This review is from: M*A*S*H TV Season 1 (DVD)

The ratings weren't great for the first season of MASH and it came close to being canceled after just one season. However, the wife of a CBS executive forbade her husband to cancel this so it was renewed for a second season where it became established as a favorite and hit show for CBS.
The first season is fresh and funny, even though it's on 8 times a day in some regions. The advantage to having your own copies is being able to avoid commmercials. No extras here unfortunately, but the show itself still stands the test of time.

Favorite episodes are:

To Market, To Market - Hawkeye and Trapper trade Henry's antique desk for medicine without him knowing it.

Requiem For A Lightweight - When Hot Lips vows to transfer a new and attractive nurse, Henry agrees to cancel the transfer only if Trapper emerges victorious in a mismatched boxing match.

The Moose - The surgeons set out to convince a Korean girl that she is free and not required to be anyone's servant or "Moose".

Yankee Doodle Doctor - Pierce and McIntire remake a visiting film producer's film with their own Marx Brothers touches.

Bananas, Crackers and Nuts - Hawkeye pretends to be nuts after he is refused R&R.

Cowboy - A seriously fatigued chopper pilot begins making life uncomfortable for Henry after being denied leave.

Dear Dad - The first of many letters home episodes.

Edwina - Hawkeye is elected to romance a klutz of a nurse.

Love Story - Radar falls for a new nurse and is coached by Hawkeye and Trapper on how to win her affections. "Ahhh Bach"!

Tuttle - The staff at the 4077th are honored to have the patriotic and charitable Captain Tuttle in the midst. The trouble is that Tuttle doesn't exist except on paper. "You might say that together we all made up Tuttle."

The Longjohn Flap - During an especially cold period, a pair of longjohns is passed from one person to another at the 4077th

The Army Navy Game - The Army-Navy game on the radio is interupted by shelling but the main interuption is the unexploded bomb in the compoound.

Sticky Wicket - Hawkeye slugs Frank resulting in Hawkeye being confined to quarters.

Major Fred C. Dobbs - Frank requests a transfer to another unit. Hawkeye and Trapper fear that they might get stuck with someone even worse than so they decide to trick Frank into staying.

Ceasefire - Everyone except Trapper is convinced that the unconfirmed rumor of a ceasefire means the war will soon be over.

Showtime - A visiting USO troop in Korea addition to Henry's wife giving birth in Indiana are the highlights of the final episode. The final episode takes the time at the end to re-introduce us to the cast, so we don't forget until next year.
