    I could listen to Alan Alda talk all day, his voice hasn’t changed at all. I’m a OTR trucker and listen to lots of Audible while driving and he was a narrator on the World War Z audiobook, hearing Hawkeye Pierce talk about zombies was priceless 🤣

Such a Fantastic show!! I can't believe that killed off Captain Pierce I was very sad about that. I don't like that radar left after the 6th season same with the fact that trapper John left the show after the third season. I'm just glad that Alan alda never left the show

    The show MASH was genius. It was a comedy, medical, and war show all rolled into one. I think the word "dramedy " was coined for this show. Even though the viewer didn't see a lot of actual combat scenes in this show, it conveyed the horrors of war, both physically and emotionally. And I could tell that this show was a labor of love for everyone involved in it, because of the care that went into making every episode. MASH was a prime example of what a television series could and should be.

Still, I loved Wayne Rogers and Maclean Stevenson and Larry Linville and the rest. They were all great. As for the movie, actors Donald Sutherland and Elliot Gould shared the honor, i believe, of making a fantastic film -- aside from director Robert Altman. Gould and Sutherland together helped make the movie -- a grittier, darker piece -- work brilliantly. Fan of both the film and TV show.

    God bless you Alan alda, mash was such an incredible part of my childhood. It made me understand that war is bad, by bringing it into my living room each evening. Sometimes it was lighthearted and funny, sometimes it was serious. I know mash is fiction, but the chicken scene with Hawkeye in the bus still makes me cry to this day. I am nearly 50 years old and I can not watch that scene without tearing up. The Korean lady’s silent scream, and Hawkeye crying it was a baby, she smothered her own baby, still too this day haunts me and stirs up horrible emotions in me.

    I remember one episode that John and Hawkeye were practicing boxing for a boxing match against a SGT from another military base and they were using Frank's duffel bag for a punching bag and Margaret Houlihan walks by saying "Isn't that Frank's bag?" John without missing a step said " I thought you were Frank's bag" I laughed so hard and coffee shot from my nose.

He needed two doctors to sign off on it and Trapper and Hawkeye weren't about to. Margaret realizes Frank could and exclaims, " Wait a minute! You're a doctor, Frank!" Hawkeye quips "Your secret is safe with me. Certainly your patients will never know". Classic 🤣

    This show must have been so important to people who actually served and survived the Korean war. And the Vietnam war. I know that many service people who came back from Vietnam have committed suicide because of the horrors that they went through and the lack of help they received after. The same thing seems to be happening all the time. People returning from tours in the Middle East and Afghanistan are not receiving the help they need to manage with the mental and physical wounds that they acquired while in active service. I know it was "just a tv show" and was a comedy at that, but the people working on the show did try to present the fact that people were killed and maimed in war. We seem to have forgotten that.

    The writers did base the show of real life Doctor turned author who wrote Mash and he was like the real Hawkeye Pierce. His name was Richard Hornberger and penned the book Mash under Richard Hooker. He was a recent medical school graduate who was drafted during Korean War and served on real Mash unit to be a surgeon. Hornberger said he did things in surgery that were against army regulations. He used the character of Pierce in his book to be like himself with his humor and wit to help get through the grueling hours in surgery and stress of being on fighting lines in Korea.

    I really enjoyed watching MASH. It was one of the best sitcoms I ever watched. Hawkeye Pierce is a hero. He is a truly iconic character who brings a perfect blend of wit, humour, and compassion to the show. His quick wit and sharp sense of humour not only provide much-needed comic relief in the midst of the chaos of war but also reflect his ability to cope with the difficult situations he faces. Live long and prosper Alan!

    I was in college myself, but my family had a VCR (or was it a Betamax, can’t remember); I had set it to record as I was in class for the early part. At the time it was said that would be the only time that episode would be shown. Ten years later I caught an ad that the episode was going to be rerun, so I set my VCR to record it no matter whether I was there or not-I was home and watched the whole episode, then saw it again a few years after…and played my recording a few times as well.

It was about a robotic surgery instrument and the setting was supposed to be a Mobile Army Field Hospital. I was working with the equipment and keeping folks from coming looking for autographs. During some director time I spent about an hour with him just chatting about this and that. Very pleasant man easy to be with and funny.

He was on a machine gun that had a wall of dead Chinese soldiers in front of it, and this normal man broke. He took council and made a recovery of sorts, but ordinary people were caught in an extra ordinary place.
