- M*A*S*HThis is one of those television drama/comedy-series that not only are a chuffing great watch, but truly an important part of telly history. Many people have been given something to think about in re war, civility, cruelty, and kindness through the thoughts, actions, and antics of Hawkeye, Trapper John, BJ Hunnicut, Radar, and all the rest of the cast. There is not only comments on the meaninglessness of war and chauvinism to be found here, but also on existence in general. And lets of course not forget some clever acting along the way, too.
The series pretty much picks up where the film left off. The characters are roughly the same, and the idiosyncratic directional style that Altman brought to the film is mimicked (to a point, of course) in the first series. As time goes by the series changes from being exclusively a comedy series to including quite a bit of drama, which, in my opinion, is just fine. It keeps the series 'fresh', for lack of better words. There is a clear evolution in the way that subject matter is treated. We get to see war and despair treated humoristically as well as dramatically.
The packing, as so many reviewers have noticed before yours truly, is not the best in the world. Two of the disc in my set was actually scratched out of the box. Seems a shame that such a great set of DVDs should suffer such bad packing, which is the reason for my rating it at 4 and not 5 stars. That, and the fact that the image quality is, to put it mildly, not very impressive. In these days of digital clean-up, it shouldn't be hard to make it better than this edition.
Still highly recommendable, though.

- MASH- My very favorite seriesThis is so enjoyable for me. Up until now I was always going to the library to get different seasons and I would only have 1 week to watch them. Now I can watch whenever there is nothing on TV. Great stuff.
