M*A*S*H (1972)

Before Cheers, M*A*S*H was a long running sitcom that spanned a decade (ironically, was much longer than the war itself). There were hilarious moments, and there were serious, heart wrenching moments. We said goodbye to Henry Blake and hello to Sherman Potter, goodbye to Trapper and hello to BJ, and goodbye (and good riddance) to Frank Burns and hello to Charles Winchester. And we had a definite goodbye to Radar. But there will always be iconic moments from drinking spirits in "the swamp" to Klinger in dresses! M*A*S*H was a truly fantastic and brilliant sitcom. Glad I got the whole series on boxset DVD!
