Product Description
The entire fifth season of the satirical US television series set against the backdrop of a US army hospital in the Korean War. This is the season in which Major 'Hot Lips' Houlihan (Loretta Swit) gets engaged and - in the final episode - married, leaving the lovelorn Frank Burns (Larry Linville) behind once and for all. Meanwhile, the horrors of war are taking their toll on the usually wisecracking Hawkeye (Alan Alda). Episodes are: 'Bug Out', 'Margaret's Engagement', 'Out of Sight, Out of Mind', 'Lt Radar O'Reilly', 'The Nurses', 'The Abduction of Margaret Houlihan', 'Dear Sigmund', 'Mulcahy's War', 'The Korean Surgeon', 'Hawkeye Get Your Gun', 'The Colonel's Horse', 'Exorcism', 'Hawk's Nightmare', 'The Most Unforgettable Characters', '38 Across', 'Ping Pong', 'End Run', 'Hanky Panky', 'Hepatitis', 'The General's Practitioner', 'Movie Tonight', 'Souvenirs', 'Post Op' and 'Margaret's Marriage'.

MASH's fifth season would probably get my vote as the finest of them all. Seasons 2, 3, 4 and 6 run it very close, but pound for pound the episodes in Season 5 are stronger than any other, with only one stinker (the ghastly 'Exorcism') blotting the creators' collective copybooks.
No doubt MASH devotees will be getting this DVD anyway (though their loyalty may be stretched when it comes to the very weak later years) but casual purchasers should buy it for no other reason than it contains 'Dear Sigmund', the greatest ever MASH episode. The arrival of Sidney Freedman in camp always indicated high quality - see 'Deal Me Out' in 2, 'War of Nerves' in 6 and 'The Billfold Syndrome' in 7 for other great Freedman episodes - but 'Dear Sigmund' beats them all.
This is also the hapless Frank Burns' final year at the 4077th. By this stage he'd become even more of an isolated buffoon than before, so it was probably right for the excellent Larry Linville to move on. There are some priceless Frank moments in this season, particularly in 'The Korean Surgeon' and 'Hepatitis'.
Season 5 boasts three classic Margaret episodes too, featuring her engagement, a supposed abduction and her marriage (in the latter, Hawkeye and BJ manage to get Penobscott drunk and set him in a waist-high body cast for his wedding day).
Other marvellous Season 5 episodes include 'Hawkeye Get Your Gun', '38 Across', Hanky Panky', 'Bug Out', 'The Most Unforgettable Characters', 'The General's Practitioner' and 'Movie Tonight'.
MASH Season 5 is highly recommended for all lovers of classic TV comedy.

I like M.A.S.H. because doctors make as more monkey from an army then I. In the 1984 year I was publicly declared as the shame of the Warsaw Pact. I see an episode daily and I learn English because I read subtitles at the same time.
