Even for a show as beloved as M*A*S*H, you're not always going to have a unanimous approval rating with fans. The classic sitcom, running for 11 years with 251 episodes, was based on the novel by Richard Hooker and the 1970 film byRobert Altman. While the show was more lighthearted compared to the satirical and deeply cynical tone of the book and movie, M*A*S*H tested the limits of sitcom audiences used to comforting humor and gentle themes. Being set against the backdrop of the Korean War, the series wasn't afraid to interrupt the usual hijinks and rollicking good time of the U.S. Army's medical unit with sobering realities of the war. Tonal shifts were inevitable, but no one could've expected the radical Season 4 episode that exclusively featured one character.
