Miss ya hotlips.
I watch mash ti this day this makes me sad
Have never watched it all but did a few runs of the earlier seasons, great show and she definitely helped it be one.
Her story doesn't really pick up until I think season 4 or 5, the character development she goes through was amazing.
Vale, Loretta
You played a hell of a character

Rip to one of the pillars who kept that show brilliant. Looks like it's time for a mash run though again.
Makes sense. The Korean War was like 75 years ago.
The show lasted longer than the war did, and not nearly at the same years. Added the second bit for people who may not know. When I was young I'm pretty sure I thought it was much closer in time than it was, but it was like early 90s going to smartphones in time difference, or like a someone being born to growing to the drinking age in the US time difference from end of war to start of show. Not exact but gives an idea.
Not correcting just adding, but I always enjoy thinking of time differences for things. The world changes quickly sometimes, except when you're waiting.
Never fails to make me smirk when people do the title of that show in markdown.
