27 November 2006Another enjoyable season of M*A*S*H, not the highpoint of the show, but I can still always watch this show and enjoy it. This is such a great show. I am just pissed about the box set that has come out.

Loretta Switt plays Major Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan
David Ogden Stiers as Major Charles Emerson Winchester III
