Dear MASHer Hey Cpl.K... it's true that this series is set during the Korean War... no one can dispute that, but it is fathomable that much of the anti-war satire in the show was aimed specifically at the Vietnam war - which seems logical considering the times that the show was aired. I guess either you hate MASH or you love it. It seems that not many people are "in-between" when it comes to war issues. But I have to say, aside from missing Radar... I find MASH to just keep getting better as the show progresses. By season eight, the characters are well set in their roles and their interaction with each other, is not merely slapstick, as it was in the earlier seasons, but more emotional and family like. They even play jokes on each other with good-humor and love. In the earlier days practical jokes were usually played to get even with Frank or Hot-Lips... but now even Margaret gets in on the shenanigans, and we see that they are all just people trying to keep their heads on straight through some very difficult times (to say the least). I can't wait to have the entire series on DVD... as you can probably tell, I just love a good sense of humor. This series has it and more... because it expresses humor within some pretty bleak circumstances. Keep your eye out for episode: "Period of Adjustment" Where Klinger, the new "Clumpity Kirk" makes his first attempt to fill Radar's shoes. :) Louie
