Mike Farrell and I today toasting the 50th anniversary of the show that changed our lives - and our brilliant pals who made it what it was. MASH was a great gift to us.

Part of me wants to believe this picture was Hawkeye and BJ, long after Korea, getting together in Crabapple Cove and BJ brought some California wine.

You two, along with the rest of the cast, were medicine for what ailed us. You still are. I will never meet you - but you live in my heart, so you are only so far away as the next heartbeat, the next laugh, & the next soft tear. I hug you both with deep affection & gratitude.

I remember this line… “There are certain rules about a war. And rule No. 1 is young men die. And rule No. 2 is, doctors can’t change rule No. 1.” True then. True now. Such an impactful show.

I spent sooo many hours watching M*A*S*H reruns with my dad because I HAD to, and then, once I decided to become a physician, watched 10X as many because I WANTED to.

Dear Sirs, It’s not easy to put the exact words together to let you both know you are ingrained in my heart & soul. My Mom was a 1st Lt. U.S Army Nurse in WWll in the European theatre x 4 yrs. The song, “The Nurses In The Army”🎵 from your show is a tune often sung w/ improv. ❤️

A very weird Judd fact. @alanalda was a high school classmate of my late mother.

Thinking of that final MASH episode still brings back a certain sadness. Just loved those characters. Also have followed more recently @alanalda and his journey fighting #Parkinsons

Thank you @alanalda & the whole MASH team for changing so many lives, including my own. I can trace my humanist values to watching MASH as a child. When I became a doctor later in life a family member said “you’re just trying to be Hawkeye Pierce” and I realised they were right.

This is going to sound crazy but literally seconds before I saw this Tweet, Dave and Mr. James mention Loretta Swit. Newsradio (S2 E21) ❤️
