Throughout its run, M*A*S*H was one of the most popular shows on American television, and since it has held up remarkably well and is still considered a classic, it’s worth taking a look at which episodes serve as a good introduction to the series. It largely follows an episodic structure, so someone doesn’t need to have seen the whole series for it to make sense. While there is some character development over the course of the series, for the most part each episode worked on its own.
