M*A*S*H

Army surgeons Hawkeye Pierce, Duke Forrest, and Trapper John McIntyre arrive at a mobile surgical hospital during the Korean War. Between relentless operations, they answer military hierarchy and trauma with pranks, football, sex, and irreverent group rituals.

The comedy remains inseparable from blood arriving by aircraft. Tent walls, operating tables, helicopters, PA broadcasts, overlapping conversations, football formations, and abrupt tonal shifts make the unit communal and unstable.
