The results were often disastrous if not downright embarrassing! Such was not the case with MASH, which, say what you may, was actually better than the movie. The idea of casting Alan Alda for the part made famous by the great Donald Sutherland and Wayne Rogers for the part made famous by Elliot Gould, was insane. It was also a brilliant move! Both Alan Alda and Wayne Rogers were perfect for their roles. The funniest episode was "Yankee Doodle Doctors" when a propaganda team came to film the 4077. As the narrator described the work of "our brave men and women who volunteered to serve so proudly", Hawkeye muttered, "I volunteered under the porch, trying to puncture my ears with an icepick." It was then that he decided to replace the film with a film of their own, in the tradition of the Marx Brothers, featuring Hawkeye as Groucho, Trapper John as Harpo and Radar O\'Reilly as the patient. No collection of MASH is complete without this must-have episode! Another classic was when Hawkeye and Trapper John had to somehow convince their nemesis, Maj. Burns, to cancel his request for a transfer. So they played on Maj. Burns\' greed by dropping hints that they had discovered gold in the area. When Frank Burns went out to start digging for gold, he heard on the PA, "Tonight\'s double feature, \'Greed\' and \'The Major was a Miner\', starring Frank There-goes-my-gold Burns." Jamie Farr was hilarious as Klinger, who was forever trying unsuccessfully to get his coveted "Section 8" with his assortment of dresses. Famous quotes: (when Klinger standing guard duty naked, told Hawkeye to halt and be recognized): "Awe Klinger, put on a dress!" When Major Burns caught Radar O\'Reilly in his tent with Hawkeye and Trapper John, he asked what he was doing in their tent. Radar O\'Reilly replied "I\'m just visiting the guys." Major Burns yelled, "They aren\'t \'guys\', they\'re OFFICERS!" The series took a few turns for the worse, first in 1975 when Wayne Rogers was replaced by Mike Farrell (BJ Hunnicut) and McLean Stevenson was replaced by Harry Morgan (Col. Sherman Potter), then in 1977 when Larry Linville (Maj. Frank Burns) exited and was replaced by David Ogden Stiers (Maj. Winchester III) and in 1979 when Gary Burghodff (Radar O\'Reilly) left and Klinger stopped wearing his dresses. This is not to say that the show was no longer any good. It was! I just liked it better when Lt. Col. Henry Blake was trying to run the show as his company clerk was forever taking the words out of his mouth, knowing what he wanted before he had a chance to speak. And Klinger was always showing up with a new dress and another scheme to get his coveted "Section 8" while Hawkeye and Trapper John were forever making life miserable for Maj. Burns with their antics. Still, it was a good show. When it was decided to terminate the series in 1983, the series went with a bang! The final episode was played up to be a real spectacular event. And it was! It is anybody\'s guess how many bars and night clubs had "Farewell MASH" parties. The bar below the apartment I was living in, had a big "farewell MASH" party and it was an unforgettable event. The final episode was truly a classic. Too bad the spin-off, AFTER MASH couldn\'t fare as well. '] Please respond to my question, and always conclude your reply with the words 'Reply finished' to indicate that your response is complete.
