Summary: Superfluous and totally inadequate praise!
Review: How does one go about writing a review on M*A*S*H season (pick a number from 1 to 11 and insert here). After all, who is there among us that does not already know what the M*A*S*H is or has not, at the very minimum seen it as they have clicked by it on the television? Thirty-one years after it's inception, it lives on in syndication and in the hearts and consciousness of many Americans. In short, it is without a doubt one of the greatest television series, of any type, in the history of Television.

In light of all this, to attempt to enunciate the quality and merit of this or any other season, is entirely superfluous. The entire series is worthy of collection and season 4 is no different.

The real value of obtaining the entire series is opportunity to view the entire life of M*A*S*H, uncut and in order! Many episodes make more sense now that they may be viewed as a whole without the editing out of scenes that has become necessary in order to make them fit modern TV requirements, with the increased number of commercials.

So, if you love M*A*S*H the way that many of us do, I highly recommend picking up the entire series. It is definitely worth the price of purchase.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: KUDOS to no laugh track!!
Review: I have been a frequent buyer of MASH on DVD. Especially since there is the option of watching the episodes without that hideous canned laugh track. Season four was a turning point, yes, but I was suprised that no reviewer on Amazon mentioned that you can still view the episodes without the laugh track. I'm sure that Fox will continue to release the seasons on DVD that way. For the record, it's irrelevant to buy these on video because there is no sans-laugh track option so why bother putting them out on tape. NO ONE will buy them on tape.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: m*a*s*h rules!
Review: I loved M*A*S*H when I saw it on television, and I love it even more on dvd. No commercial breaks, and, better yet, no laughing track! And, strange as it may seem, it even gets funnier without the laughing of others. And of course it has a sharp anti-war, anti-religion side I really appreciate. I had to laugh real hard at the Jesus Christ-episode, which I cannot remember seeing on tv. One of the greates tv-series ever. Can hardly wait for the next season!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny and memorable..
Review: With the loss of characters Henry Blake and Trapper John
after season #3, new comers B.J. and Col. Potter had
some pretty big shoes to fill? And fill them well they
did! Season #4 has some of the series most memorable
episodes including The Late Captain Pierce, in which
Hawkeye is declared dead and has difficulty coming back
to life! Quo Vadis, Captain Chandler?, who claims to be
Jesus Christ. And Hawkeye, who suffers a concussion in a
jeep accident, much to the chagrin of the poor Korean
family he takes refuge with while help is being sent.
Other memorable episodes include It Happened One Night,
The Bus, Soldier of the Month, and the two-part The
Interview, filmed in black and white to give it the
"newsreel" feel? This is definitely one of the best
and funniest seasons of one of the best television
shows in history. 5 stars for FUNNY!

Summary: love it!!!!
Review: People may ask why Buy the MUSH season DVD sets, you can see them on TV every day. The answer is simple, One you can View each Episode in pristine DVD Quality Video (and Sound), You can see the whole episode instead of the ones on TV daily which cut out 5-6 minutes to include more advertising. And You can view them whenever you want, with no advertising. Season 4 is outstanding, I will always love the first three seasons best, because love the Blake and Trapper parts, and the whimsical nature of the whole thing; But The Potter and BJ Parts are a great replacement and even better in ways for the above mentioned parts. Season four has many great episodes including the first one, WELCOME TO KOREA, which is a two part episode, that is seamlessly put together as one longer episode hear, which introduces the BJ Part in full and points to the Potter cheater. Other great episodes are Change Of Command, Quo Vadis Captain Chandler, Dear Peggy, Soldier Of The Month, The Gun, Dear Ma, Hawkeye, and the Interview. Those are highlights, But I like all the episodes of season four. I would Highly recommend all four season sets, 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Suture, Scalpel, Kiss...What, Surprise Me
Review: The only problem I had was there wasn't an episode just before "Welcome to Korea" where everybody mourned for Henry Blake in their own way, except of course for Ferret face and Hot Lips. Just picture this.

Hawkeye takes leave in Tokyo where, while drowning his sorrows and having his own Irish funeral for Henry, he remembers the times he spent with Blake. We see images of Henry and the 4077th like in the episode "Dreams".

This is a no laugh episode so there aren't many jokes or pranks done.

Radar, Klinger, Mulcahy, and the enlisted men form a wake for Henry in the OR and in the Officer's Club. They're still in uniform but they have black straps on their arms with the initials "HB" on them for you know who. Radar proposes a toast 'To Lt. Col. Henry Blake. The greatest man I have ever known. May he rest in peace'.

AS for Frank and Hot Lips, they order people to move on with absolutely no sensitivity or compassion.

The episode ends with Hawkeye yelling obscenities about the army and the war just while he's crying for Henry.

But so far as this set, get it! That's an order.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wait for it.......
Review: If You like MASH, get yourselves those DVDs. The quality is excelent and the price is o.k.. We're absolutely nuts about MASH and can't wait for the fifth season. There's nothing like a pizza and an episode of MASH...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Just what the doctor ordered.
Review: Once you get past the liberalism the show is great, an all time classic.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Monstrous MASH!!!
Review: The fourth season of MASH was absolutely hilarious!! Potter and BJ were much better than boozy Trapper or Henry Blake, the C.O. with no backbone. The first two episodes were sensational and "Mail Call Again" left me with a tear in my eye. Can't wait for the fifth season in December.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Comedy or Drama, I'm Confused!!
Review: The first three seasons were very funny! After viewing the first DVD, there was some comedy and was fun to watch. After that the last two were more dramatic and serious. My collection of this series will end here and any one who wants the funny stuff go with one of the first three seasons!
