 Great Shows should always go on this long!! |
Contrary to William Smith's review, this set is well worth it. 25 episodes? The great thing is that all of the episodes have been retored to their original running length. The earlier seasons were 3-4minutes longer (Per episode) than what you'll see in re-runs. In a 24 episode season, that's about an hour and a half. Sure, you don't get Surround Sound, etc, but the shows were never broadcast in Surround. If you want to see these shows like you would have if you were sitting in front of the TV in the late 70's, then pick this up!
Also, there is a separate version of the MASH series available at certain retailers. Each disc of the season is available for separate purchase. Those versions should not be confused with these, the COLLECTOR'S EDITIONS.

| This show was always good!!! |
| For all you so called MASH fans that thought the show started slipping around this time, obviously you didn't get the show. The show was always character driven thus it became more of a drama. If the show continued to be slapstick like in the first two seasons it would have become a cliche. So the characters became more real ; they even made Winchester more likeable. The creators of this show only quit after they couldn't find anything fresh unlike most other shows that rehashed their plots. So for this and all past and future MASH dvd releases, they all get five stars. |
 Garry Burghoff's disappearance matters little |
| By season 8 of MASH we viewers were accustomed to seeing less and less of Radar O'Reilly. He was in fewer and fewer eps before Burghoff outright quit anyway. Can't recall seeing him with Major Winchester (not too much). His final exit in a two part ep where he has a different voice and is really grouchy is well done enough but no match for the scenes of the dimunitive but surprisingly nifty and wolfish guy in season one. MASH definitely got worse over time. |
