The war in Korea wages on with no end in sight, but the medical corps at the 4077th valiantly battle on against soulless military bureaucracy, tedium, and insanity. The seventh season of one of television's most decorated series continued to break new ground, with episodes such as "Point of View," which unfolds under the subjective eye of a wounded soldier. And just when you think you have these characters pegged, the writers provocatively challenged them. One of the most powerful episodes of the season, and the series, is "Preventive Medicine," in which Hawkeye (Alan Alda) takes drastic measures to stop a gung-ho colonel from further endangering his men. "Inga," another series benchmark, written and directed by Alda, finds Hawkeye threatened by an accomplished woman doctor (Mariette Hartley). Unlike Larry Linville's one-note Major Burns, David Ogden Stiers found new notes to play as Charles Emerson Winchester III. His character remains, as Hawkeye observes, "pompous, arrogant, conceited, and a total bore." But he's also "all right" in three of his finest half-hours: "Major Ego," in which he lets a magazine profile go to his swelled head; "Rally Round the Flagg, Boys," in which he outwits camp nemesis Colonel Flagg; and "Ain't Love Grand," in which he falls for a Korean girl he meets at Rosie's Bar (the setting for another essential episode, "A Night at Rosie's," in which the company seeks refuge from the war). The seven-year itch got to Gary Burghoff, who would depart the series in season 8. Episodes such as "Hot Lips Is Back in Town," in which Radar sweetly woos a new nurse, demonstrate why he would be keenly missed. The two-part "Our Finest Hour" is anything but. It is a rehash of the season 4 classic, "The Interview," that serves as a clip episode. This is a rare misstep in another satisfying season that did this series proud. --Donald Liebenson
Description
As the seventh season opens, peace talks to end the war have been going on for over a year and Hawkeye has had enough. He jumps in a jeep and roars off to the talks, and although he makes it onto the speaker's floor, his rant does little to speed up the negotiations. His discontent isn't helped by the return of war correspondent Clete Roberts who has came back to the 4077 to tape another one of his television talks for the folks back home. Yet Hawkeye isn't the only one feeling the pressures of war. BJ nearly drives himself to exhaustion trying to help a poor Korean family, Father Mulcahy almost gets himself killed trying to get a promotion, Charles falls in love with a working girl at Rosie's Bar, and Margaret's divorce is finally made official. It's all part of life during wartime.

 What's with these DVD companies? August 20, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought the entire series and it has been Exellent up to Season 7 Episode (Our Finest Hour). When you go to watch it, It says it is The Syndicated Version because the Original Print was Destroyed over time. And was Deemed Unworthy for this DVD release.
This really upsets me, let ME decide what's Unworthy and what's not.
Use both versions and let WE the buying public decide for ourselves.
Also, what they are telling us is that only the Cut out scenes were destroyed, I find that a little hard wo swallow. There were at least 5 minutes cut from each Half Hour. So they are saying that 95% of the show has survived the wrath of time but those few scenes cut from different parts of the show (For Syndication) did not. Feed me something else cus i'm not buying their story, Especially after what Lionsgate did to ALF.
To ALL of the DVD companies i say, If a show exists, put it on DVD in the Uncut and Syndicated versions. Let WE the buying Public decide if it's Worthy or Unworthy.
In The Words Of Colonel Sherman T. Potter, I Say, "This is Grade A, 100% Bull Cookies."
 Even the best have a bad day every now and then August 5, 2008
Season 7 for me is the worst season in the whole series. I don't know if it's because I know Radars leaving, or what, but they for sure hiccuped in this season.
The shows for the most part are good, but the creativity of seasons past just aren't there. I would have given the season 3 stars but there are a few bright spots that push it over the hump to 4 stars. They are:
The Episodes:
Peace on Us: great show with all the red!
Point of View: funny enough one of my favorite episodes in the whole series. I love it!
THe Party: I like it, even though it's a little Hokey, it's a feel good show.
Timeless!! July 21, 2008
Mash is timeless, it related to the everyday world we live in even now. When Mash was first on television I did not get to see every episode because of school and work. Thanks to technology it will be preserved forever. I purchase the whole series, but found it was my teenaged son that enjoys it maybe even more than I do. Now even my pre-teen son likes to pop it in the recorder now and then; and yes if any of us are around we are drawn to this show. Where else can you get a witty, humorous, and thought provoking experience. There are those that do not like the fact that there were obvious changes with different characters. We loved them all. That is the way life is. People come and go in our lives all the time, we just have to learn how to make the most of it, and have fun while we are doing it
The M*A*S*H series is a must for your collection. May 10, 2008
