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.

This ia a great series. The whole family will love it, too. Funny and great messages.

I BOUGHT THIS FOR MY HUSBAND, BUT I ALSO LIKE MASH IT'S A GOOD SERIES FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

I bought this as a gift and he loved it. He has been waiting for years to finally see this season and has enjoyed every episode.

One of the best TV series ever made, I have seasons 1 & 2 , just bought seasons 3 & 4, Now for the bad, the brainless twits who made these disks, made them to play one episode at a time. you will spend almost as much time changing episodes, as you will watching them. A REAL STUPID MOVE, makes you wonder how many extra years of collage it took to get that smart. Really makes you want to watch these over and over , providing you have the time to change episodes. I love the series, just hate the morons that made the disk set up.

Season Two has great character development, especially of Frank, Hot-Lips and Colonel Blake. Where season one focuses on Hawkeye, this series brings some of the others into play well. I feel that Trapper could get a bit more of his own plot-line, he is still largely Hawkeye's side-kick. But he plays a great supporting role, along with Radar, and is integral to this series' success.

This isn't the best MASH season out there, but it's still a great season of an amazing show. My personal favorite episodes include "Dear Dad...three", "Mail Call", "Five O'Clock Charlie", & "The Incubator". It's definitely worth it to pick up this set as well as all other MASH seasons. It's just a really great show.

Season two is definitely a step up from season one. The actors seem to feel a little more relaxed with each other, and it shows through the "pace" of the dialogue. Well worth the money spent for this season......

These episodes are the best largely because Allen Alda had yet to really dominate the series. He is still more in balance with the other players.
