  1. AWESOME! This should be sticky’d to the front page or maybe added to one of the drop downs in the tool bar. Great work as always @RJ

  2. Thanks for posting this. I found this site a couple years after you started these reviews, so the only way I could find a certain review before was a long search.

  3. thank you for posting this! I am actually watching MASH right now as I am typing this,,. the one that is on is mail call

  4. Though aired prior to “Goodbye, Farewell and Amen”, “As Time Goes By” was actually the final episodes filmed.

  5. I’ve been enjoying these reviews ever since I discovered this site a few years ago, and thought it was about time I offered my thanks to you for them, as well as for the site itself. Thank you.

    On a related note: Has anyone else noticed how often the phrase “Is that so” is spoken on the show? I’d be curious to know just how many times it was.

  6. I’ve been a M*A*S*H fan for a very long time. Have all the movies except the original. Have a book which is like an encyclopedia of M*A*S*H.. TY so much for this site !!!

  7. I’m not sure the person who wrote these reviews actually like this series. The reviews seem to be consistently negative and overly critical. Many of the criticisms seem unnecessarily harsh and undeserved.
