Summary: Design Flaws and other glitches
Review: Obviously the quality of the shows is not an issue: if you are interested in ordering this, you already know what you're getting on that score. The DVD represents a chance to see the shows with improved picture and sound quality. But as was already mentioned by reviewers the menu interface is inconvienent and clunky. Also (this may just be an issue with my DVD player) the subtitles seem to use the wrong tracks. When set on 'no subtitles' I get the subtitles in French. When set on 'french subtitles' I get no subtitles except for whenever printing appears on screen (usually on a sign in the show), at which point a french subtitle appears telling what the sign says. It is a sort of strange and distracting glitch, but otherwise I couldn't be happier.

Summary: Every M*A*S*H* fan MUST have this DVD!
Review: This is a must for any M*A*S*H*! We,too, began collecting the VHS version from Columbia, and it was expensive ($... for 3 episodes) and they were not in any type of order. The DVD set takes you from the begining...I can't wait for season 2, due out in May, 2002. The evolution of the characters will continue and it will be fun to watch. Do pick up a set for your library. You won't be sorry!

Summary: Good stuff here.
Review: If this was a favorite TV show of yours, then the price is right. No extras, but whatever.

My only complaint is that you have to start each episode individually, rather than let the entire disk play though. Bit of a drag as these individual shows are only about 25 minutes in length. Lot of remote control button pushing, or maybe I'm just being lazy.

Nonetheless I'm happy for the season by season release, and will continue to purchase them until BJ sports facial hair and Hawkeye turns preachy and roll my eyes political (Start of 4th season, I think.)

Summary: The greatest DVD set ever ?
Review: What a thrill to open Sunday's advertisements and to see MASH being released on DVD in 2 days !!!!!!!!
This is a great package, a must for any true MASH fan. The fact that no scenes or partial scenes are cut out, like they do in syndication, is great, seeing the way they originally aired. Also, the opening theme in "The Pilot episode" and the different version of the opening theme song they aired on episodes of "The Army-Navy game", "Sticky Wicket", and "Major Fred C. Dobbs" is great, you never hear it in syndication.
MASH is always fun for us at home to watch on FX or a local channel, but NOTHING compares to MASH on DVD.....bring on season 2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Seemed to take forever but ! ! !
Review: In the words of another reviewer,at last.Only rec'd an hour ago (25 Jan) but boy am I looking forward to this.I was a bit purturbed about the regional coding enhancement but no worry,everythings fine.MASH has always been at the front of our list of favorites and it will be good to be rid of the dodgey off air recordings/dubs and see them as intended.I'll definitely be on to purchase the rest as released and would suggest an add on set after the release of series 11 covering behind the scenes/retrospective/interviews.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: MASH the way nature intended it!!
Review: I just want to point out that MASH on DVD is awesome. Complete and unedited. I know that there are no extras on this package, but viewing the shows without that laugh track is extra enough for me!! Whomever decided to release them with that feture need a medal of Honour!! The show wasn't considered a comedy anyway. There is a lot of drama in these shows. It is a drama with comedic overtones. Therefore, a laugh track shouldn't be there. Pick it up and enjoy!! You won't regret it!

Summary: A Feast For A M*A*S*H Lover
Review: I am SO thrilled that this collection came out on DVD--I have long been thinking that I would like to own a collection of the episodes on DVD. And now I do! It's a great collection, including the laugh track/no laugh track option, good menus (you don't watch them all in sequence; you return to the episode menu at the end of each episode), and excellent visual qualities. The picture is extremely sharp, much better than on television; however, I do wish they had upped the sound. The sound quality is the only reason I don't give it five stars. Still, I look eagerly forward to the arrival of the Season Two collection. I know I will be broke by Season Eleven!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great DVD for fans
Review: This is a great DVD mainly because it shows all episodes uninterrupted and provides scenes that are never shown in syndication. I'd say there are 2-3 minutes extra of each episode which sometime really help to clarify plotlines.

The only downside, as everyone else says, is that we have no commentary or extras. I'd love to hear Alan Alda's commentary on even 1-2 episodes.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: At Last
Review: If your a M*A*S*H fan then the fun starts here. At last the most watched TV series in TV history on DVD. It is not available in the UK yet but if you have a multi region DVD then your ok. This is where it all started, the episodes get better & better, no other show could take you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions like MASH. One minute lots of laughter the next sadness & yes even tears. If a person can watch MASH without laughing or crying then they must be dead. Just a shame we have to wait 5 months for the next series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sweet & Simple!
Review: I missed out on M*A*S*H when it originally was released on VHS and since it is my favorite show of all-time, imagine my joy when it was released on DVD. Nothing fancy about this set, which is just fine with me. Until now, the only way I have been able to see M*A*S*H is on the FX Network and they cut out what seems like 1/4 of each episode to add commercials. That is the best thing about this set, NO COMMERCIALS and each episode is in it's entirety. Cant wait for year two! This is a must-have for any M*A*S*H fan.
