I think either ME-TV or COZI is running it now, but the first five seasons are also on Netflix Streaming. It's been a while since I've watched it with any regularity, but I should check back in on it just to see if they have the original pilot episode that had a different actor playing Father Mulcahy, plus Timothy Brown as "Spearchucker" Jones (played by Fred Williamson in the movie), even though Brown was in the movie as Corporal Judson. Then they dropped Brown after he had appeared in just six episodes, I guess to give more screen time to Hawkeye and Trapper John.

You're welcome everyone! I absolutely LOVE the show, from the pilot to the very ending where I bawled. Sometime it was serious, sometimes it wasn't, but most of the time it was just plain great! Also, if you'd like to keep the love going, there's a great website to go to, if you haven't already discovered it. It's called Best Care Anywhere, and here's the addy...

It's got cool stuff like series stuff, pics and sounds, and even Radio Tokyo. That has sound bytes from the show, and one of the best is this one from the epi 'For the Good Of the Outfit'...
Frank: "Pigpen! Brothel!"
Hawkeye: "Here, Sir!"
Trapper: "Yo!"
But let's get the discussions going. First up, who was your favorite commanding officer? Was it Lt. Col. Henry Blake...
Or was it Col. Sherman T. Potter...

I always liked Potter.
Like Skydiver said, he always gave as good as he got. Potter seemed to know how much lease he could give each of the them. How he delt with Burns always made me laugh.I tell you Teal'c, hockey is the coolest game on Earth!
Did you not say it is played on ice, O'Neill?

Margaret had a real stick up her bum in the beginning. Of course, they needed her to be the antagonist with Frank so she was written that way.
Later, when it was less 'staff vs staff' and more 'people vs the war' she changed and became more a partner to all of them (and in some ways, the softness or heart of the show...as most often happens with female characters)
Honestly, margaret wasn't all that interesting until after she crawled out of the cliche.
