MASH was an incredible show. Funny but critical and knowing when to stop the joke.
I recall two episodes that made an impression on me.
1: A high ranking officer was going back home. So the entire episode was a funny throw away party with memories. The last scene was after the officer left, they receive a radio saying his chopper transport was hit and no one survived

@MarkHoltom@mastodonapp.uk (2/2) 2: They were making a movie about life on the camp. So the decided to do a comedy to ease the tension. Lots of funny scenes, all the camp was watching and laughing. But the last line on this movie was Hawkeye very seriously saying that war was not a laughing matter, that innocents die. All the camp goes silent. And the episode ends in silence. No end music.
