Every year I watch the whole series.
One of the best shows ever on television.
So many memories of watching with my dad in the 70s-80s just before bed.
RIP Hotlips.


That may have sounded like my dad is dead.....but he's alive and well......and still watching M*A*S*H too. :)

The real Hot Lips died in 2022.

The real Hot Lips, Sally Kellerman, appeared in 1994 as a nurse (isn't that appropriate?) in one of my favorite episodes ("Blinded By The Cheese") of one of my favorite TV shows "Dream On." Funny, sad, and poignant, it's an episode to watch if you can find it.

RIP Loretta. I enjoyed the show and her character. I never got to see the final episode though. At the time I was stationed in England, and the Beeb didn’t have that show.

I know it’s been rebroadcast a couple times, but I missed those as well…

I’ll have to check and see if I can get it streaming.

Sally Kellerman was my favorite actor in the role.

M.A.S.H. was such a great show. I didn't watch it as a kid as I was little, but when I was in my late teens - early 20's, I used to watch it a lot in re-runs. Hawkeye, Hunnicutt, Trapper John, Radar, Klinger, and Hot Lips were all such great characters. The whole cast was great. Such a well done show.

I always find it hard to chose between Trapper John or Hunnicutt, Colonel Blake or Colonel Potter, Frank or Charles, as they all brought something different to the show.
