What's your favorite episode? And why?
This has almost certainly been asked before on this forum, and I'm sure it's been asked on the overall internet about 10,000 times, but there's a reason for that. It's a great show and a great question about that show. So let's have fun!
I'll start: "Crisis," S2, E21. Supply lines have been cut and personnel are forced to bunk together to conserve resources. Ends with Henry Blake in a nearly empty office (because almost everything has been stolen to be burned for heat). Reason why I love it so much: It encapsulates everything I love about M*A*S*H. It's funny as hell, yet it deals with a serious aspect of war (MASH units really did go through tough periods of supply withdrawal). It combines the elements that Alda always declared so important; be funny, yes, but don't just be 'hijinx at the front.' Make a statement. This episode does that, in spades.
What do others say? Your favorite episode. C'mon. There's no right or wrong. Just tell us what you loved most. It's why this forum exists.
