They were a MASH (Mobile Army Surgical Hospital) unit stationed three miles from the front. Incoming helicopters full of wounded brought the horrors of war to them daily and sometimes bullets flew right outside the operating room door. Occasional hilarity and constant hijinks were all that kept them sane.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLoosely based on real-life MASH unit 8055, life at the 4077 revolved around the day-to-day routines of Captain \"Hawkeye\" Pierce, Captain \"Trapper\" McIntyre, Lieutenant Colonel Henry Blake, Major Margaret Houlihan, Major Franklin Burns and Corporal \"Radar\" O'Reilly. Through these characters, viewers traveled beyond the long hours and the horrors of the operating room to a place where friendships were forged, laughter was found and drinks were served.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eM*A*S*H: Season Two\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a first season in which M*A*S*H barely rated among television's top fifty shows, the show received a boost in its second season when CBS switched their time slot to Saturday nights right after \"All in the Family.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKnowing a lot of new people would be tuning in to the second season, creator\/writer Larry Gelbart reveals, \"We wrote the first episode as a sort of second pilot to introduce all the new viewers to the characters.\" Almost immediately after the second season began, the show became a hit-and the actors became household names.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLittle did they know the show was going to last longer than the war itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eM*A*S*H: Season Three\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the show's third year ratings were high enough to give the writers and creators more leverage with the network and thus a bit less trouble with the censors.

Hawkeye races to the airport but arrives just as Trapper's plane takes off. Too late to tell his friend good-bye, he in nevertheless just in time to welcome Trapper's replacement, Captain B.J. Hunnicutt. Once Hawkeye gets over his anger and disappointment, he realizes B.J. is a worthy ally and takes the newcomer under his wing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The first thing you learn here, B.J., is that insanity is no worse than the common cold. You've heard of a military post? Ours is a compost. Only the wounded are new. The tedium is relieved only by the boredom. So pitch in, muddle through, pip-pip. Never mind the reason why, ours is but to do and not let 'em die.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen Colonel Sherman T. Potter arrives to take over command of the 4077. Not only are Frank and Hot Lips outraged that Frank has lost his command so quickly, but Hawkeye and B.J. know that a “lifer” Army commander could spell big trouble for them. But then a single reminiscence from Potter puts the docs at ease: “Had a still on Guam in World War II. One night it blew up.

Unfortunately, Hawkeye, B.J. and Margaret are in the middle of critical surgery and have to keep going even as the bombing starts. The rest of the 4077 find themselves in an equally dangerous situation upon discovering that the new location that HQ has chosen for them is actually in occupied territory. Luckily the Chinese are driven back and the 4077 get to bug back to their old location.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut the real bomb, as far as Frank Burns is concerned, is when Margaret returns from a medical conference in Tokyo engaged to Lieutenant Colonel Donald Penobscott. \"How'd Burns take it?\" a concerned Colonel Potter asked. \"Hard,\" Hawkeye replied. \"He was clucking like a chicken last night. For nine straight hours.\" Potter shook his head. \"He's heading for a Section Eight.\" As expected, Klinger was green with envy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eM*A*S*H: Season Six\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the sixth season opens, Margaret's marriage has finally driven Frank Burns over the edge.

He jumps in a jeep and roars off to the talks, and although he makes it onto the speaker's floor, his rant does little to speed up the negotiations. His discontent isn't helped by the return of war correspondent Clete Roberts who has came back to the 4077 to tape another one of his television talks for the folks back home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet Hawkeye isn’t the only one feeling the pressures of war. BJ nearly drives himself to exhaustion trying to help a poor Korean family, Father Mulcahy almost gets himself killed trying to get a promotion, Charles falls in love with a working girl at Rosie’s Bar, and Margaret’s divorce is finally made official.

The news quickly has Radar shipping stateside, followed by a period of adjustment as everyone tries to get used to a nervous and bumbling Klinger being in charge as company clerk. Things go from bad to worse as both Colonel Potter and Charles have to be quarantined with mumps. Then Hawkeye decides to stop drinking after receiving a bar bill so big that he's shocked into realizing, \"I could have bought a used Studebaker for this!\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAside from incoming wounded, the 4077 is besieged by congressional aides, doctors demonstrating new techniques, inspecting colonels and a return visit from psychiatrist Sidney Freedman.

Margaret also becomes a prisoner of sorts after a wounded Italian soldier proclaims his love for her and refuses to be shipped back to his unit. If only Margaret's visiting father, Colonel \"Howitzer Al\" Houlihan, would express his love so freely! Love, or the lack of it, continues to plague the rest of the 4077 as well. Klinger is devastated when he learns his ex-wife is remarrying, Hawkeye is equally despondent that he can’t get a date, and B.J. prepares to spend another wedding anniversary without his wife.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor Colonel Potter, the biggest problem is that his high blood pressure will cause him to be reassigned from active duty to a \"weenie job\" sitting at a desk somewhere, while Charles becomes obsessed with death after he's nearly killed by an enemy sniper.

As the war drags on, it begins to take a toll on the docs and nurses who, day after day, fight to save the incoming wounded helicoptered in directly from the front lines. But as much as the gang of the 4077 cared for the wounded soldiers, they also cared about each other. And that camaraderie, coupled with a liberal dose of hijinks and hilarity, served to make their tour of duty in Korea an experience none of them would ever forget.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eM*A*S*H: Season Eleven\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the eleventh season begins, rumors are running rampant around camp. One rumor has everyone believing that Marilyn Monroe is going to pay the 4077 a special visit, while another claims that the peace talks are finally making headway. This second rumor gets Margaret thinking after Charles mentions how a Los Angeles skyscraper had a time capsule built into its cornerstone. Although he thinks the idea is insane, Margaret decides to make a time capsule of her own to bury in camp. “We could put something in the ground to remind people we were here,” she suggested. With Hawkeye’s help, items from around camp were gathered up for the capsule: a chopper’s broken fan belt, Radar’s teddy bear, one of Henry Blake’s fishing flies, a bottle of Charles’s cognac and Father Mulcahy’s boxing gloves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd finally, the gang of the 4077 hears the announcement they’ve been waiting for:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This is Robert Pierpoint speaking to you from nearby Panmunjom.
