Review

Although its series finale held the record for the most-watched television event in boob tube history for decades (it was finally surpassed by Super Bowl XLIV in 2010), MASH has largely faded into cultural obscurity since its heyday in the '70s. Based on both the 1968 novel by actual MASH surgeon Richard Hooker and the subsequent film M*A*S*H (1970), the show lasted eleven years in the midst of the Vietnam War, and was unafraid to use it's content to comment on that conflict. It followed the day-to-day adventures of a mobile surgery unit (MASH stands for Mobile Army Surgical Hospital) during the Korean War. With all due respect to people lie Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda), the alcoholic, punkish, gun hating draftee surgeon, his handsome buddy Trapper John (Wayne Rogers), the kooky Corporal Maxwell Q. Klinger (Jamie Farr), and the ultra-innocent military man Radar O'Reilly (Gary Burghoff), the real reason you should know MASH is for the gash! Yes, this sitcom that could swing from goofy to heartbreaking in a single episode and was famous for both lampooining the absurdity of war and deisplaying its brutality, featured some of the finest females ever to don a nurse's uniform. Chief among these is Loretta Swift as Major Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan, an Army brat turned nurse who is the highest ranking female in the 4077th regiment. Hotlips gives some great leg (and even a glimpse of panties) canoodling with a comrade in her tent. Ten hut! There's also a shot of her showering, but she successfully blocks off her boobs with the shower's stall. Imagine how much higher the ratings would be if they let her give a quick flash on MASH!
