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.

i feel stupid but i actually cried when that happened. i felt such a connection with Henry in a bumbling grandpa way.

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.

That part of what made MASH special. As a viewer, we became invested in the character and we felt their pain, joy ...etc. I felt like they were part of my family in a way. I would have had no problem inviting them over for dinner.

As a side note, I met Alan Alda and Harry Morgan. Both were very nice. I worked at a mall during college and the were shopping in my store. Both were very polite and gracious. Mr Morgan was like a grand father you see in any family type show.

Harry Morgan was one of those great standbys, the character actors you saw in everything to the point where even non-TV fans learned his real name -- an actor you could always count on for a superior performance.

I first saw him when I was a kid in daytime reruns of "December Bride" where his character, Pete, told us funny stories of his always-unseen wife, Gladys (the same technique used with Norm and his never-seen wife, Vera, on "Cheers" much later). It spawned a spinoff, "Pete and Gladys." Of course he made the perfect partner for Jack Webb in the mid-'60s "Dragnet," and he even played Inspector Queen, uncle to Peter Lawford's Ellery, in the first EQ pilot in the early '70s.

This is all from memory; no need to consult IMDB. As with Ricardo Montalban and others, it would probably be quicker to list the shows Morgan wasn't in than to total up the hundreds he was.

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

Howdy All,
I was a fan. The one episode that stcks with me is the last one.
