I thought was good enough, though not up to the quality of season three, I enjoyed it.

In every season of MASH there are some great unforgettable episodes, but mixed in every now and then you'll find a forgetable one or two. BUT not in season 5. In my opinion this is with out a doubt the best season in the series.

The acting ensemble is as good as it will ever be in the series. Klinger comes up with the best ideas to get out of the army, that almost work, but never seem to. Frank is CRAZY, and you really see it here, Larry Linville is a stinking genius. The duo of Hawkeye and B.J. has melted into a comedic duo that is hard to beat. And on top of all that, Margaret gets married!

For my money the best episodes of the whole series come out of this season namely, "Dear Sigmond" and "Movie Night'

I gave this to my son for graduation and he was thrilled. MASH is his favorite re-run and he loves to see it without the commercials!

Season 5 was a turning point for MASH when it started to become more of a mixture of comedy and drama otherwise known as " dramaedy ". Making William Christopher a full cast member was a good movie but clearly the biggest move was Loretta Swit's character Margaret marrying someone other than Frank. I really did not the fifth season because I felt sorry for the actor Larry Linville playing Frank and later finding out that it was a nightmare for him as well for they had trailers where the actors would watch the episodes privately before it went on the air. Linville could no longer stand watching his character become a puppet and could not change his character. His character was mean-spirited and a rotten doctor and if they changed his character to be a good guy; the character and the show would be destroyed. Linville had signed a five year contract to do MASH and he honored his contract by doing all five years. Linville never regretted doing MASH but he is the only actor of the show to leave and not regret the decision. Linville was well liked by the entire cast and no one wanted Linville to leave the show. Linville's best friends were Jamie Farr and Mike Farrell on the show and tried to talk him into staying. But Linville told both that all of us all character actors and not lead actors and that his Frank Burns character could do no more and that Frank's character could not expand like the others could; there simply was no way out but to leave. Befor Linville's death in 2000, he became more popular than when he was on MASH because the public realized that the actor and character were not the same person.
