M*A*S*H

During the Korean War, a team of army surgeons works at the 4077 Mobile Army Surgical Hospital, set up in Uijeongbu, just behind the front lines. Their mission is to treat wounded soldiers and keep them alive while the war rages on around them without letup. The leads are surgeons Benjamin "Hawkeye" Pierce and John "Trapper" McIntyre, who lean on a strong camaraderie to cope with the daily pressure. To escape the tension, the team hunts down hard-to-find goods such as tobacco, liquor, candy and chocolate, sets up dates with the nurses, and plays football games against other camps. Created by Larry Gelbart and aired on CBS, the series balances these comic situations with the horror of war and the toll it takes on those who live through it up close.
