MASH CLOSURE

In the history of TV programming there has never been a show finale to match the impact of MASH. Yes, many shows have had big endings that were widely watched but most of them leave qustions and very little by way of closure.
The final 1/2 hour episode of MASH was typical of the series and then came the powerful 2 hour finale "Goodbye,Farewell, Amen." From the very beginning it surprises and entertains. Beginning with Hawkeye, long the rock of the 4077th and of the series, being treated for mental illness was a shock but not near as much a shock as how he got that way.
The only thing missing were the characters lost along the way as even the ones who left remained a part of the 4077th family. As we get past the shock watching the show and the war come to a close brings closure to the series and it's "family" in a way that no series has ever done before. For the only time ever seen, a widely viewed series ender really does end it. Considering other major endings include Bob Newhart's dream, Seinfeld going to jail and Sam Malone closing "Cheers" up for another night MASH's finale is simply powerful in the extreme.
For those of you who have simply watched the reruns and enjoy the series this is absolutely a must see. For those of you who have seen it it is well worth it to view again.
