M.A.S.H. at 50

M.A.S.H. started on TV on September 17th 1972.

I remember seeing it when it was on and I was really too young for it, the coming and going of the laugh track, Radar dying offscreen, the vastly popular finale, the exhibition at the Smithsonian when we were there in 1983 I think, having a Father Mulcahy action figure (!) and someone in the family had a T-shirt as well. It was a big deal.

And they were better articulated than Star Wars figures!

A hospital comedy set in a disorganised war (not the one happening when the series started) had a lot to say about life.
