Summary One of MASH's most experimental episodes feels like a prototype for one of the 2000s biggest TV shows. MASH ran for 11 seasons in total, and by the time the finale aired in 1983, it had picked clean every storyline imaginable. It began recycling plot points and character arcs, eventually leading the cast to vote on ending the show before it ran out of steam.
One of the show's most unique outings came with season 8's "Life Time" This opens with Hawkeye and the gang playing cards before a helicopter brings in a badly wounded soldier. The unit realizes they have 20 minutes at best to perform surgery or this soldier will either die or be left paralyzed. "Life Time" then introduces a ticking clock that remains ticking throughout most of the episode, underling the time pressure they're under.
MASH's "Life Time" is also a moving episode, with a subplot involving the team waiting on another young soldier to die so they can use his aorta for surgery. This dying soldier's buddy Roberts is disgusted by this until he comes to understand at least in death, his friend can save a life. The final shot of the show is also a tearjerker.
24 star Kiefer Sutherland's father Donald first played the role of "Hawkeye" Pierce in 1970's MASH movie.
