Did you have a favorite MASH episode? [View all]

I don't think I ever saw a bad one. Alan Alda was one helluva good looking and funny actor. We were addicted to seeing this every week. And that theme song, which I believe was entitled "Suicide is Painless."

Oh, boy, I can still see the MASH docs running to the helicopter to get the wounded...

I liked that Hot Lips character got more serious and respect as the series went on. Loretta Swit was wonderful...
