The 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital is stuck in the middle of the Korean War. With little help from the circumstance in which they find themselves, they are forced to make their own fun. Fond of practical jokes and revenge, the doctors, nurses, administrators, and soldiers often find ways of making wartime life bearable. Nevertheless, the war goes on.

M*A*S*H Ratings & Reviews
- BrandonCFOctober 13, 2024One of my all time favorites. Like comfort food, it always makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. The first 3 seasons are by far the best. The following seasons seem to lack a little of the magic year by year though. Still collectively one of the best sitcoms of all time.
- CallumOctober 28, 2025ChatGPT said: ⭐⭐⭐⭐½ (out of 5) MAS*H – War, Whiskey, and Wit in Equal Measure There are few shows that balance tragedy and laughter with the precision of a surgeon’s scalpel, but MASH* does it with unflinching grace. Set during the Korean War (though speaking squarely to the Vietnam generation and beyond), it follows a group of doctors and nurses patching up the casualties of conflict while slowly losing pieces of their own sanity. It’s a paradoxical masterpiece — a war show that’s anti-war, a comedy that can break your heart mid-laugh. Hawkeye Pierce, played by Alan Alda, isn’t your typical hero; he’s the sarcastic conscience of the battlefield, deflecting horror with humour and gin. Every character, from Radar’s wide-eyed innocence to Hot Lips’ sharp authority, evolves through years of blood, boredom, and banter. This is the template from which every dramedy since has borrowed DNA — from Scrubs’ heartfelt chaos to Blue Lights’ trench-grit humanity. Yet MASH* remains singular: clever, cynical, compassionate. It reminds us that survival isn’t always about winning; sometimes it’s about staying sane long enough to make it home. Pairing: A tin mug of something suspiciously strong — it might be gin, it might be jet fuel — sipped under a flickering light while the sound of helicopters hums in the distance.
- RichardOctober 18, 2025Saw this one on Dutch TV in the late '80s, maybe early '90s. Didn’t expect much from a show set in a war zone, but it hit different. The 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital was chaos and compassion rolled into one. Hawkeye, B.J., Radar, Hot Lips, Klinger, each one felt like someone you knew, just stuck in the worst place imaginable. It was funny, but not silly. Sad, but not preachy. The jokes landed, but the quiet moments stayed with you. As a teen, I didn’t catch all the politics, but I felt the humanity. The theme song alone could make you pause. And the finale? That was a gut punch.
