The sitcom is set in South Korea during American involvement in the Korea War (with M*A*S*H standing for “Mobile Army Surgical Hospital”). Buffered from the front lines by a mountain range and a minefield, the men and women of MASH were tasked with patching up wounded American soldiers. Unique to its genre, the cast of MASH was unusually large. Surgeons Dr. Benjamin Pierce (Alan Alda) and Dr. “Trapper” John McIntyre (Wayne Rogers) play the roles of excellent doctors who enjoy women and booze, while Dr. Frank Burns (Larry Linville) and Nurse Practitioner Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan (Loretta Swit) play foil to the two men’s shenanigans (due to a contract dispute, Rogers’ character was later replaced by Dr. B.J. Hunnicutt – played by Mike Farrell). The character of Frank Burns was also later replaced by Dr. Charles Emerson Winchester (David Ogden Stiers)…

Corporal Max Klinger (Jamie Farr) provides comic relief with his early attempts to procure a discharge by dressing in women’s clothing, and Father Francis Mulcahy (William Christopher) adds flavor to a diverse cast of characters. Also rounding out the cast are Lt. Col. Henry Blake (McLean Stevenson), Corporal Walter “Radar” O’Reilly (Gary Burghoff), and Col. Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan)…

The MASH (Season 6) DVD offers a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere “Fade Out, Fade In” in which Frank Burns is arrested while on leave and eventually gets a transfer. His replacement is Major Charles Emerson Winchester III, who quickly makes an impression on Hawkeye and B.J… Other notable episodes from Season 6 include “In Love and War” in which a nurse arrives in the camp who may have once had a romance with Hot Lips’ husband, and “The Merchant of Korea” in which Charles is persuaded to play poker (first winning big, and then, losing it all)…

Britt Gillette is author of The DVD Report, a blog where you can find more reviews like this one of the MASH (Season 6) DVD.

We always look upon things in diverse ways and interpret them in a different perspective. There is a whole world out there remains to be unexplored until people will learn to discover and value its beauty. It leaves us to be the one to make our own adventure. In fact, it is our nature to want and seek new things, have an exhilarating experience and do something odd to make life enjoyable.

Some take pleasure in traveling, meet foreign people, taste exotic foods, do extreme sports, and participate in other exciting recreation. Being spontaneous gives you freedom from limiting yourself to live your life to the fullest.

Take for example the movie “Bucket List”, where the two old men, starred Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, got acquainted at the hospital and thought it’s the pit stop of their lives. They recollected what it was like when they were younger and what their life could have been if they have done the things they want. They made a list of the things they regretted not doing and made it happen. They traveled to some of the place they have never been, tried skydiving and did several unusual undertakings.

All the routines in life that we forget that time pass us by has enveloped sometimes people. We should live outside the box and learn to live our lives to the fullest for we may never know when we will get a chance to experience what this world can offer us.
