Editorial Review: Description: As the eleventh season begins, rumors are running rampant around camp. One rumor has everyone believing that Marilyn Monroe is going to pay the 4077 a special visit, while another claims that the peace talks are finally making headway. This second rumor gets Margaret thinking after Charles mentions how a Los Angeles skyscraper had a time capsule built into its cornerstone. Although he thinks the idea is insane, Margaret decides to make a time capsule of her own to bury in camp. "We could put something in the ground to remind people we were here," she suggested. With Hawkeye's help, items from around camp were gathered up for the capsule: a chopper's broken fan belt, Radar's teddy bear, one of Henry Blake's fishing flies, a bottle of Charles's cognac and Father Mulcahy's boxing gloves. And finally, the gang of the 4077 hears the announcement they've been waiting for: "This is Robert Pierpoint speaking to you from nearby Panmunjom. It is one minute before ten p.m. We can still hear the sound of nearby artillery. At some point during the next few seconds, the guns should go silent, as the cease-fire officially goes into effect... There it is. That's the sound of peace." Amazon.com: Here's an essential addition to the TV time capsule, M*A*S*H's complete final season, including the DVD premiere of the historic feature-length final episode, "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen." Still the most watched television series episode ever, "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen" brings M*A*S*H to a richly satisfying conclusion, giving each of its characters dramatic and fitting curtain calls. But the finale shouldn't completely overshadow what was a memorable and multi-Emmy-nominated season. After a decade, Kellye Nakahara, as compassionate and "cute as hell" Nurse Kellye, gets her own showcase episode with "Hey, Look Me Over." Echoing his obsession with "Adam's Ribs" back in season 3, "The Moon Is Not Blue," finds Hawkeye (Alan Alda) determined to secure for the morale-challenged camp a screening of a supposedly scandalous film. In "Friends and Enemies," Col. Potter (Henry Morgan) has the difficult task of confronting an officer, an old friend, who is irresponsibly endangering his men. After 11 seasons, we don't need anyone to tell us yet again that the "good and decent" people at the 4077th "make use of humor as a weapon against war," as a U.N. dignitary observes in one episode. In "The Joker Is Wild," B.J. (Mike Farrell) confirms his status as the camp's reigning practical joker with an epic, "brilliantly conceived" prank against Hawkeye. Two emotional episodes set the stage for the finale. In "Who Knew?" a nurse's tragic death moves Hawkeye to show what he feels "through the (wise)cracks" and tell those in camp he is closest to that he loves them. In the penultimate episode, "As Time Goes By," Margaret (Loretta Switt) collects camp artifacts, among them, Radar's teddy bear, to put in a time capsule. Finally, after 251 episodes, there is "the sound of peace" in "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen," but not before a traumatic incident sends Hawkeye to a psychiatric ward, B.J. is sent home before he can say goodbye to Hawkeye, Charles (David Ogden Stiers) forms an attachment to a band of Chinese musicians, and Klinger (Jamie Farr) falls in love with a Korean woman separated from her family. That there is no audio commentary for this television benchmark is a major disappointment, but the series eloquently speaks for itself. M*A*S*H, we salute you. --Donald Liebenson Average Rating:
 Rating:  - An unforgettable era gone by...What comment can one add about such an excellent series that has not yet been said? This is a television production that reflects another time, another space. Great entertainment, great value!! Rating:  - Damaged DVDs spoiled the experience of moviesI love having almost all of the MASH DVDs. However, the last order I placed had a couple DVDs that would not play. Amazon has a GREAT return policy. Unfortunately, when I returned it and received a replacement, I had the same problem. Again, Amazon received my return and will credit my credit card account. I have had very good luck up to this point and I do not blame Amazon. Amazon customer service A+++ Quality of DVD not so good. Rating: - Best running series EVER!!!!!I've said it once and I'll say it again. This was by far the best running series EVER!!!! The only unfortunate move that FOX made was to release one Season at a time to suck all the die hard fans in and then release a classy compilation (Medicine and Martinis) and tempt everyone to ebay the individual Seasons and spend another $180 for that one!!!! Cie la vie I'm stubborn and will hold on to my original copies. Rating: - fantasticThis was a Christmas gift. My daughter loved it. It was completely viewed by New Years. She loved all the interviews and specials. Rating: - timelessMASH is one of those shows thats funny even if you were not yet born when the show was on the air. its just plain funny, even the more serious episodes when the show was in its later years were funny in their own way, MASH will never die.
