Ship Out With The 4077!

Relive your favorite M*A*S*H moments with this three-disc DVD Collector's Edition containing all 25 classic Season Seven episodes!

Korea, 1950. They're a MASH (Mobile Army Surgical Hospital) unit stationed three miles from the front. Seemingly cut off from the rest of the world and often dangerously low on medical supplies, the docs of the 4077 are as clever at improvisation as they are in their dealings with the local black market. But if they are passionate in their desire to help every soldier who passes through the OR, they are equally passionate about making their time at the 38th Parallel as comfortable as possible - no easy task when you're sitting right on the enemy's doorstep!

Includes Emmy Award-winning episode: Inga
