Synopsis: Loosely 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.
This epic show ran for 11 season and a total of 256 episodes. Now through that 11 seasons there were many changes in the cast. Several heartbreaking departures. But there was one constant one who was in every single episode in the entire series. That was Alan Alda as Captain Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce.
M*A*S*H was a groundbreaking drama that had a great bit comedy sprinkled in to give some fun. Cause the horrors of war is so gut wrenching at time to see all this and have no break would be too much to handle. So, you have the fun rivalry between Hawkeye and Frank Burns and the hilarious Max Klinger. The whole cast was spectacular over all 11 seasons. No wonder during its 11 season run the show was nominated for over 100 Emmy Awards and won 14. It should have been more!
