I love the show MASH as well. When I worked at Portland Airport, my hours were perfect in that this show came on every night as I got home. In a nutshell, the characters all play well off each other. In particular, how the sanctimonious, sniveling idiot Major Frank Burns made good comic fodder for Hawkeye, Trapper, and later B.J. After Hot Lips dumps him, Frank is no longer necessary for the story lines, as the battle is too uneven now that Frank didn't have her as an ally-and his extramarital squeeze. His replacement, the pompous but more than adept Major Winchester, turns out to be a formidable for for both Hawkeye and B.J.
It was really sad when Colonel Henry Blake was killed off. You especially felt bad for Radar, in that Blake was like the father he never had. His replacement, the stern but understanding, Colonel Potter, turned out to be a beloved camp commander. You also could feel Hawkeye's pain after Trapper had left. You could really tell he missed his best friend and fellow jokester. But B.J. Hunnicut more that filled Trapper's shoes as a formidable ally.
And of course, Klinger, his dresses, and his endless schemes!
What a show.....

Did any fans of M*A*S*H watch the spin off show Trapper John MD?
