Title: VHS edition has extremely poor picture quality
Review: As delighted as I am to finally get the whole season one of MASH on video, I am very disappointed by the poor quality. The VHS tapes are recorded in EP mode, and somehow I could adjust my VCR's tracking only to either get a distorted picture and good sound, or acceptable picture quality and distorted sound.Also, the episodes are arranged in production order rather than broadcast order. This makes more sense as far as some of the story lines are concerned, but the VHS boxes list the episodes in broadcast order, and therefore are useless.MASH is a great series, and it was great to see these episodes again, but the viewing pleasure was spoilt a lot by the extremely poor quality of the VHS edition. If you own a DVD player that plays region 1 tapes (mine only plays region 2), go for the DVD edition, by all means.
