| M.A.S.H. started out as a hit movie with Donald Sutherland, Elliott Gould, Tom Skerritt, Sally Kellerman and Robert Duvall. It later became one of the biggest and longest running TV shows in history, skyrocketing Alan Alda's career into icon status. It was about military doctors and nurses at a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital in the Korean War. With very bloody hospital scenes and many martinis, wisecracking surgeons Hawkeye Pierce, Trapper John McIntyre (1972-1975) or later on Capt. B.J. Hunnicut (1975-1983) make it their business to embarrass Maj. Frank Burns and Major "Hot Lips" O'Houlihan (originally played by Sally Kellerman in the movie, but replaced by Loretta Swit in the TV show) |
