    I am old enough to have seen a few years of MASH in prime time. I also was in the Army for 8 years. Without realizing it while I was in the service, these characters showed up in my Army years. Although not in a medical scenario, I did see real people who showed the tendencies of the MASH characters. There was the super gung ho (Frank), the semi-gun ho but still career Army (Margaret), the person who needs to cope and joke around (BJ and Trapper), the one who is a jerk but turns out ok (Charles), the person who is all joker but is a pro when it hits the fan (Hawkeye), and the commanders who are sometimes hard and sometimes loony (Henry Blake and Sherman Potter). I could go on. After being a soldier, when I see these characters again I put real faces on them from my experience. There are also the people who just chug along and make everything work. (Radar, Klinger, Rizzo, Igor, all the rest). The show is closer to the Army way of life than maybe some of the actors know. In the military you have very serious things in front of you, you make a joke to not make it seem so serious or terrible, move forward and get it done, then joke about it again. It's a way of coping with things. After almost forty years since the end of the show and after being out of the Army for over twenty, I (as maybe some of my brothers and sisters) see the realism more than some can imagine. I now watch the show not just for my own nostalgia from my childhood, but also because of the great times, terrible times, and the great people that I served with in my past.

    @@thephantomeagle2 There was a couple occasions where his(Charles) ego, or his narcissism did show up, and it did make him look extremely petty, and disliked. However his character learned, grew, and his anger for being there slowly faded and his dedication for his patients grew to where you knew it should be. Charles Emmerson Winchester III was a pompous arrogant narcissistic doctor at first. His development was done very well, extremely well actually. His character was handled perfectly. In the beginning Charles showed his skill. He was good, you knew it, HE KNEW IT, but more importantly he WANTED EVERYONE to know it. BUT as the seasons progressed his ego he learned could and would cause him to fail more than succeed. I grew to really appreciate his character and his humor was a bit off, but he was brilliant! Charles was another character that had to replace, no not replace, step in and become his own character. One more reason I truly respect M*A*S*H. They lost 2 of their TOP stars after season three. They didn't miss a beat. They also didn't get two copies of Trapper and Henry Blake. Same with Frank Burns and Charles Emmerson Winchester III. Every loss, they stepped up and moved on. The writers were amazing, the actors were brilliant, and the producers and directors were also incredibly talented! All in all, a perfectly casted, written, and developed show! From beginning to end.

    the best show since GUNSMOKE ,CBS or not. and they were both saved from cancellation by Bill Paley. the amount of actors that worked on both shows is almost incalculable. besides character actors, Switt, Linville, Morgan,& Rogers all did at least one or two GUNSMOKES and were impressive. I could mention supporting players, but it would take too long, and their names aren't known outside of showbiz.but one stand out was the shifty Sargent who comes up w/ the strawberry ice cream in the blazing heat. he did several GS's.

    I also believe wholeheartedly that M*A*S*H was the best show ever made. They faced and surpassed adversity, they also dealt with other issues, yet everytime they conquered them. In season three they learned Henry Blake was leaving, a TOP Star! And honestly a incredible actor and a man I don't know HOW they lost him. Then Trapper John McIntyre also left. So two of the biggest stars of the show leave. They ended season three with one of the biggest GUT PUNCHES EVER! Henry Blake's plane crash and his death. Now M*A*S*H however didn't try and replace or copy Henry and Trapper. No, instead they got two actors whose characters were the exact opposite of the ones that left. BJ Hunnicutt was a family man who was faithful to his wife, his family. Yes he had an issue or two but he was NOT Trapper. Colonel Potter was again the opposite of Colonel Blake. A true army Colonel. Not a doctor in a army uniform. Potter was an Army Doctor. He took his command seriously. These changes were surprisingly well done, well written, and their actors performed these characters perfectly! This show did something that very few, if ANY accomplished. They lost two of their top stars and NEVER MISSED A BEAT! M*A*S*H was the most well made show ever in my opinion! Also EVERY actor in the show go their own episode to shine. From Hawkeye's dear Dad, to Klinger's wedding and divorce, to Hot Lips' wedding and also her divorce. EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER got their own episode. Even Nurse Kelly got her own episode. This was another reason why M*A*S*H was so unique and so amazing! They allowed everyone a chance to grow. M*A*S*H IS MY NUMBER ONE 📺 TV 📺 SHOW OF ALL TIME! Seasons 1-3 are my favorite shows, but seasons 4 until the end, they also had some brilliant ideas, and wonderfully written and acted scripts! #M*A*S*H#1

    I thought about it for quite a long time, while the show was still on prime time, and even now when I see reruns; and IMO, the actor with the most challenging role on the series was Larry Linville. The other actors played characters that were fairly consistent - and it’s not my intention to infer that the other actors on the show were any less talented, because even with the changes over the years, it remained a stellar ensemble cast - but Frank Burns was such a diverse character, more complex than the others. In addition to being mercurial, insensitive, dishonest and at times idiotic, Frank Burns was also a very FUNNY character - and in a comedic way that was elevated, and not meant to garner “cheap laughs”, or through the predictability of reoccurring catch phrases that became tired and cliche over time on other shows...and Linville’s comic sense was genius. He played all those strange traits of Frank Burns beautifully. In some ways, I think it could be logically argued that Larry Linville may have been the most talented actor on the show. At the very least, I think he had the most challenging job as an actor. RIP, Good Sir. Thank you for playing a big part in the magic that was M*A*S*H. 🙏

Also, I was really bothered by the fact that Charles, after being at MASH and doing "meatball surgery" for several years, and seeing countless soldiers die, only mourned the deaths of the Korean soldiers because they were musicians, like all the rest of them didn't matter to him. That made him seem heartless to me, after all the "humanization" he had evolved through.

    The most interesting thing in this special is hearing David Ogden Steirs speak without the deep Bostonian accent. The actor is from Chicago, where the r is pronounced with hardness, the opposite of the r-less New England “ah.” On his first episode as Winchester, he let a Chicago hard r slip out in the word “here,” saying: “I don’t intend to be here long enough to get chummy.” I’m fascinated with dialects and accents, so it mattered to me. But I forgave him.
