I watch my DVDs of the first 3 seasons, I don't watch it on TV-they cut out too much.

They have trimmed a few minutes from each episode for syndication, an occasional scene, a few lines of dialogue...

It was fun to watch the DVDs for the first time and see scenes that i never saw before.

I still pull out the DVDs and watch a certain episode from time to time, but i still watch episodes on Hallmark Channel and TVLand.

Still need my daily M*A*S*H fix.

a lot, unfortunately. Col. Blakes lectures, for one thing. On TV LAND and HALLMARK, they're just mentioned but never shown. A shame, because they're funny as hell!!!

The first time I saw one, I laughed my ass off!!
I escpessialy like the one in "DEAR DAD"

When the show first aired in the 70s, shows were 25 to 26 minutes long. Now they're 21 minutes!!!

I prefer watching my DVD's too. ot only are the episodes unedited, but I can also watch them without the laugh track.

I perfer on DVD, too.

But, when I'm feeling a bit nostalgic, I'll watch my VHS from when I first fell in love with the show...I like the early 90's commercials!!

I only watch my DVDs.

The only show I have on DVD that I can also watch the reruns on television is "Monk."

TV, and the show never fails to impress me--M*A*S*H is one of the greatest TV shows of all time.
