Why?

As a M*A*S*Hophile since the series started I have to ask why anyone thought another retrospective was needed. It's not.

This special does not provide any new information to a casual viewer who has previously read/seen anything about this series.

Interviews with deceased actors are recycled without any disclaimer they were shot decades ago. And Mac is again shown in the golf cart.

Other interviews may be newer but don't offer anything new. Yes, we know Loretta was fond of Harry based on her comments year ago. Do we need a new interview that says the same thing?

Besides, memories fade so the newer interviews are less reliable.

Behind the scenes footage. I didn't notice any.

If you want to learn about this show I suggest you watch and/or read one of the many articles/videos done decades ago, when memories were fresh and facts weren't tarnished.

Skip this one.
