They evaluate what they feel were some of the memorable MASH pro grams and what the series sought to achieve. The cast and staff also talk about their rapport with one another, the series relations with the CBS Network and the shows' similarities with the original MASH movie. While talking about what makes MASH a unique program on television, Alan Alda explains that each episode recreates a time of revelation, suffering and joy that happened to real people at a real time. We know what they went through and in a way, we are going through it and we (the cast and writers) can't ignore that. We can't be casual in the face of that.
