M. A. S. H TV is one of the best sitcoms ever put on television. You will never find such creation, as a team with the actors,the writers the producers and everyone on set that worked so well together. It'll never happen again! (Except cheers) They set the standard. This special episode was great..maybe just a reminder to people..maybe to the younger generations how wonderful the show is... they will get to see what great acting ..writing should be.. hopefully it will open the younger generations eyes and minds to one of the best TV. Sitcoms...i have to agree it really did change TV..like the title says!!

Having just completed a full M*A*S*H rewatch, I figured I would catch this retrospective on Hulu (I had no idea this aired on Fox after New Years). There really wasn't any new ground broken with this special, but I always enjoy seeing interviews with the people that made the show so memorable. Must admit I felt a little weird seeing comments from actors who have been gone for some time. I grew up in the 70's and 80's and MASH was always must see television in my household. I remember the finale was a huge deal, in fact we watched it in school! I think it might have been a nice touch to have some sort of in memoriam for the many former stars who have passed on, and although there was nothing in the interviews MASH fans haven't seen before I still enjoyed the special well enough. *The press conference announcing the finale was new to me, I really enjoyed that segment.

As a M*A*S*Hophile since the series started I have to ask why anyone thought another retrospective was needed. It's not. This special does not provide any new information to a casual viewer who has previously read/seen anything about this series. Interviews with deceased actors are recycled without any disclaimer they were shot decades ago. And Mac is again shown in the golf cart. Other interviews may be newer but don't offer anything new. Yes, we know Loretta was fond of Harry based on her comments year ago. Do we need a new interview that says the same thing? Besides, memories fade so the newer interviews are less reliable. Behind the scenes footage. I didn't notice any. If you want to learn about this show I suggest you watch and/or read one of the many articles/videos done decades ago, when memories were fresh and facts weren't tarnished. Skip this one.
