It's an absolutely timeless show. It's like the concept of the perfect movie, only it's a TV show.

I used to watch this show after school every day as a kid. It sticks with me because I remember it was the first show I watched where "antagonist" doesn't necessarily mean "villain". MASH did a lot to humanize even the people you usually rooted against.

As a little kid I hated Burns, but even I could recognise him as more pathetic than evil. Even the North Koreans were humanised. Remember that episode where that wounded kid had that grenade in the OR? Dude was completely terrified. Or when Hawkeye had a mini-breakdown and crashed the peace talks?

The Hallmark channel LOVED this show when I was in high school. It was a dinner tradition for me to watch 2 hours of M*A*S*H over dinner. I loved the gimmick episodes, with my favorite being the one that took place in real time.

Wait, loving Hallmark played this show? Well there's an odd thing. I thought your Hallmark channel was all lovey-dovey with a far right religious edge to it. Then again that was a childish impression of mine too, as occasionally we'd get made-for-tv movies straight from that channel, including all the soppy and strangely creepy ads.
