Amazon.com:
This M*A*S*H-tastic 36-disc collection is one for the television time capsule. It contains all 11 seasons of this multi-Emmy Award-winning series, PLUS Robert Altman's 1970 iconoclastic anti-war classic, PLUS two discs of special features, including two reunion specials and a series retrospective episode of A&E's Biography. As with the individual season sets, there are no new episode commentaries, a major disappointment. But M*A*S*H-ophiles will enjoy this set's other bonus features, including emotional behind-the-scenes footage of the filming of the last half-hour episode, 'As Time Goes By,' the inevitable bloopers, interviews with cast members as well as fans about their favorite episodes, a segment about the series' 'Jocularity,' a parade of PSAs (cut down on salt to avoid heart disease), and the text of an unproduced script penned by Alda for an episode titled, 'Hawkeye on the Double.' All of this material (except for a commemorative booklet) is available elsewhere in different configurations, but this space-saving (albeit ungainly packaged) box set collects them all under one tent.
Adapted for television by legendary comedy writer Larry Gelbart, the series has long since supplanted Altman's film in the public's consciousness. Life and death at a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital during the Korean War doesn't seem like ripe fodder for a comedy series, but M*A*S*H masterfully balanced laughter and tears (less so in its later, more preachy seasons). It often does play better without a laugh track (a viewing option for all episodes). During its run, M*A*S*H survived several delicate operations, including the departure of Gelbart after season 4 and the loss of core ensemble members McLean Stevenson as Col. Henry Blake and Wayne Rogers as Trapper John (after season 3), Larry Linville as Frank Burns (after season 5) and Gary Burghoff (a veteran of the original film) as Radar (after season 8). The show thrived with the introduction of some new blood, Henry Morgan as 'regular Army' Col. Potter and Mike Farrell as compassionate BJ (season 4) and David Ogden Stiers as elitist Charles Emerson Winchester III (season 6).
M*A*S*H was honored with the prestigious Peabody Award 'for the depth of its humor and the manner in which comedy is used to lift the spirit and, as well, to offer a profound statement on the nature of war.' This was a sitcom that did not always leave you laughing, as witness the classic season 3 episode 'Abyssinia, Henry.' And throughout its run, M*A*S*H broke the sitcom mold with several episodes, including 'The Interview' (season 4), in which Clete Roberts interviews the staff of the 4077th, 'Point of View' (season 7), subjectively seen through the eyes of a wounded soldier and 'Life Time' (season 8), which unfolds in real time. M*A*S*H boasted one of television's greatest ensembles, fully embodied characters who each became icons, most notably Alan Alda, who served with distinction as Hawkeye, the series' soul and conscience. But a special salute to Loretta Switt, whose Margaret Houlihan went from 'Hot Lips' to nobody's pushover. From the 'Pilot' to the feature-length finale, 'Goodbye, Farewell & Amen,' still the most-watched episode in history, this essential (but not so much if you bought the individual season sets) collection honors one of television's greatest half-hours. --Donald Liebenson

The item came in in good condition and timely time. We (my daughters and I) gave it to myhusband as a Christmas gift. He is totally pleased with the MASH set.
Rating: - Great memories.
This collection is the best. I got it for my husband for Christmas and he loves it. We really have enjoyed the first DVD, it will keep us busy this winter.
Rating: - M*A*S*H Love it
Great Product works flawlessly but would have to advise buying a soft cd wallet as the cardboard holders sucks
Rating:  - M*A*S*H
This is one of those television drama/comedy-series that not only are a chuffing great watch, but truly an important part of telly history. Many people have been given something to think about in re war, civility, cruelty, and kindness through the thoughts, actions, and antics of Hawkeye, Trapper John, BJ Hunnicut, Radar, and all the rest of the cast. There is not only comments on the meaninglessness of war and chauvinism to be found here, but also on existence in general. And lets of course not ... Read More
Rating: - MASH- My very favorite series
This is so enjoyable for me. Up until now I was always going to the library to get different seasons and I would only have 1 week to watch them. Now I can watch whenever there is nothing on TV. Great stuff.
