Description
By the shows third year ratings were high enough to give the writers and creators more leverage with the network and thus a bit less trouble with the censors. In addition, the shows writers were more experienced with the TV format and had more in-depth knowledge of the characters. By this time they could also gauge how much serious material the audience would accept mixed in with their comedy.
But most importantly, between the second and third seasons Larry Gelbart and Gene Reynolds visited Korea, a trip that they say affected the stories in the third season.

In honoring MASHs third season with the prestigious Peabody Award, the judges praised this series "for the depth of its humor and the manner in which comedy is used to lift the spirit and, as well, to offer a profound statement on the nature of war." Contained on three discs, season three comprises several benchmark episodes illustrative of what the Peabody judges called "television of high purpose." In "Rainbow Bridge," Hawkeye (Alan Alda), Trapper (Wayne Rogers), Radar (Gary Burghoff), Klinger (Jamie Farr), and an opportunistic Frank Burns (Larry Linville) participate in a swap with the North Koreans of wounded POWs. In "The Consultant," Robert Alda (Alans dad) guest stars as a visiting doctor who cracks under the pressure of operating so close to the front. And the shocking season finale, "Abyssinia, Henry," took a page from Mister Roberts and killed off commanding officer Henry Blake (McLean Stevenson), who was en route home.
MASHs sense of humor did not go AWOL. The season opener, "The General Flipped at Dawn," earned guest star Harry Morgan an Emmy nomination for his performance as a certifiable general and paved the way for Morgan to join the cast in season four. "Adams Ribs" is a classic episode in which Hawkeye orders out to Chicago for a very special delivery of spare ribs. In "Iron Guts Kelly," the wars "greatest fighting general" gets a little too gung-ho and perishes in Margarets (Loretta Swit) tent. Because of its wartime setting and life-and-death struggles, this is that rare sitcom that may actually play better without a laugh track, an option this set offers. To paraphrase the title of one episode, this was a full, rich season that offered each member of one of televisions finest ensembles the opportunity to shine. But Alda, who was honored that year with a Golden Globe award, fully emerges as the series star. --Donald Liebenson

Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :1
MASH is one of my top 10 favorite TV Shows of all time and it is a joy to see the antics of these Mobile Army Surgical Hospital doctors. I am not a big fan of seasons 1-3 because the characters seem to too cartoonish for me and story lines seem a little weak. I guess the producers wanted to keep close to the movie which was a little on the corny side. With these faults, the show remains a classic for all generation and the dialogue is rather simple to understand. Season 3 finishes up the tone for the introduction part of the show to millions of viewers with the death of Lt. Col Henry Blake and Transfer of Capt. John McIntyre.
If I rated Films or TV Series based on whether I liked them, I would have rated the entire series a 5 or a 6, but I rarely do this. Each episode is high quality and the sound is great. They bring back the joy I originally had when I first saw them minus the commercials (which are really not that important.) One problem exists the DVD itself dose not have a lot of features. You can not "play all", there are no filmographies or even a list of the extra and cameos that made MASH one of the best shows. It would have been more interesting to see where all those extras went off to do.
I highly recommend the series with these limitations.
Enjoy
