last night I caught the "Capt. Tuttle" episode where Hawkeye makes up a fictitious Captain Tuttle who captures Hotlips' heart and win some medal for bravery without ever being seen in person.

I couldn't stop laughing. Dang, they don't make intelligent comedy like that anymore. Now it is stupid sex-oriented comedy like "2 1/2 Men".

War for all Seasons -it was a montage of episodes, touching it showed the ugly side of war but also the human side of what people have to do to keep their sanity.

I liked the one where BJ was being a the particle joker. BJ decided to mess with burns and filled one of his fox hole out side the tent with water. Father Mulcahy walked by asking what he was doing. BJ explained and asked if Father Mulcahy wanted to help. BJ told him to yell "air raid air raid". He did and Burns came out screaming.... jumped into the fox hole and got drenched.

Not sure why I love that one so much but every time I think about it, I crack up in side.

Thanks for the flash back. I liked Flag also .... such a fruit cake.

OH Yea, all most for got. The episode where Blake got shipped home and Radar came into the OR and said that he had been killed. The hair on the back of my neck stands on end every time I think of that episode.

My favororite is when Winchester treated the concert pianist that lost his right hand.

Least favorite are the "Hawkeye cracking up" episodes. Seems like they reused that plot way too often.

Best episode - the last one. I was never a fan. My wife loves MASH, however, so I occasionally watch it. The movie was much better, in my opinion.

BTW I often ride my mountain bike on the park where they filmed MASH (tv). They recently (a few months ago) had a ceremony there to mark the show's aniversary. They even restored the sign pointing to the different places in teh world away from So. Korea.

Not in this weather!

For me it was the episode where Henry Blake went home. I still get a little misty-eyed when I see Radar walking into the OR and announcing that Blake's plane was shot down over the Sea of Japan, and there were no survivors.

side note on the scene of radar reading that Henry was lost in the plane crash: When they shot that episode, nobody knew about that part. They just handed Radar the paper as he walked into the scene and told him to read it. The look of shock on his face was real.

Actually, I like 2 1/2 Men.

One of my favorite episodes was the one where Gen. MacArthur does a drive-by of the 4077th...and he salutes Klinger, who is posed at the end of the base in a silvery costume depicting the Statue of Liberty, replete with the torch, ignited with sparklers!!!

I liked the one where they had a new nurse with issues. she complained to Potter about a bunch of things. He calls in Hawkeye, Hotlips and Fr. Mulcahey and tells them (in that order!) you (hawkeye) stop talking to her, you (Hotlips) stop hating her, and you (Fr. Mulcahey) stop Dating her! Fr. Mulcahey did relate to the guys that she had "Hugged the stuffings out of me"

The death of Henry was shocking and very very good.

The episodes I remember best, or maybe it's just great lines from them, have to do with Maj. Winchester. He seemed a pompous windbag (albeit a topnotch surgeon), but I recall the Christmas episode when he turned to Klinger, whom he'd always disliked as a shirker, and told him quietly, "Merry Christmas, Max."

In another of the "Hawkeye cracks up" stories, Radar is talking with the psychiatrist (I've forgotten his name. Sidney? That was it) about Hawkeye's nightmares, which are beginning to affect his surgical work. Sidney mentions how a young kid named David, in the Bible, managed to whip an awfully big antagonist named Goliath. Radar says, "Yeah, but David didn't have to worry about not being able to go to sleep at night."

The classic, though, is the documentary, with the newsreel fellow interviewing them all about the war and their memories of home. Father Mulcahy tells the story to top them all, about how on cold days in Korea, when the surgeon makes the first incision, and pauses to warm his hands in the steam that rises from the patient's open chest. "How can anyone look upon that," Mulcahy murmurs, "and not be affected . . .?"

I feel stupid, but I just encountered my eyes watering at just the reading of the previous post. I was in grammar school when the episode aired, so it's in my head.

One of the joys of that show was the comfort level. The writers were generally very gentle with us and softly prodded their point home. Not like a lot of shows today. Several shows lost my interest when they would just yank my chain and expect me to do whatever they wanted. NYPD Blue comes to mind. they eventually got to be the "let's beat up on Andy show" need the viewers to cry, well, beat up on Andy. Shoot him, shoot his wife, his kid, whatever (I think they killed his hid twice). That was pretty much when I started to get away from TV. ER went a similar way. MASH was different. It might poke fun at this or that (Flagg was a great example), but even then, they rounded off the edges and kept some humor in it. Funny thing was, the show always felt like the main costume- an old soft pair of fatigues.
Sjow wasn't for everyone though. My father (who served in the Navy during Korea) didn't like it at all. He never really said why not
