Hawkeye: “Thanks, Mother. We gotta get up early anyway and work on MacArthur’s hernia.”
The long-running series M*A*S*H told the adventures of American doctors and nurses serving in a mobile Army field hospital during the Korean War, fought from 1950 to 1953. The letters stood for Mobile Army Surgical Hospital.
Critics sometimes called the show “a serious sit com” – That’s TV-speak for situation comedy.
Hawkeye: “It’s inhuman to serve the same food day after day. The Geneva Convention prohibits the killing of our tastebuds.”
Trapper John: “Easy…”
The program made fun of nearly everything. But it also showed people doing their best, working against human suffering and death under dangerous wartime conditions.
Alan Alda, Mike Farrell, Harry Morgan, and Loretta Swit were among a number of stars during most of the program’s 11 seasons. Viewers saw the final program of M*A*S*H on February 28th, 1983. But repeats of the shows are seen on television even today.
Voice over public address system:” Five minutes ago, at 10:01 this morning, the truce was signed in Panmunjom. The hostilities will end twelve hours from now at 10 o’clock. The war is over!” [Cheering]
