Yeah, I agree (and I think most other M*A*S*H fans also acknowledge that the show had problematic elements. Well, the reasonable ones anyway. I loved the hell out of that show and I'll till admit that it handled some things pretty poorly).

But mostly I wanted to comment on this secret because Margaret was my favorite character. She was such a hardass sometimes (especially in the beginning) and often played the role of an antagonist with Frank (though she was a much more likable/sympathetic character), but they gave her a lot of great moments and I just loved her so much.

I remember one Margaret centered episode that really just got to me (I can't remember the title). It was the one where tensions between her and the other nurses were boiling over because they thought she was too inflexible with the rules (and she was) and Margaret thought they weren't respectful enough towards her (they weren't). Everything eventually came to a head when Margaret punished a nurse by putting her under house (or tent, I guess) arrest while the nurse's husband got a one day pass to see his wife. Of course everyone conspired to sneak the nurse out and when Margaret found out, she finally lost it. When she broke down in tears and confessed that she was so hard on them because she felt like they were always excluding her and never invited her to join in on their activities or share their private jokes with her and that she didn't understand why they disliked her enough to never even offer that to her, she felt like a very relatable character to me (and I criiiiiied). I always liked those moments where it showed that she wasn't such an unreasonable stick in the mud and had a playful and a more human side.

lol, sorry for the rambling but I almost never get to talk about my Margaret love.

I was born in '71 and MASH was one of the shows I used to watch with my dad. It had some quality elements, very, very good writing, and I remember loving most of the episodes.

Margaret was my second favorite character (after Charles Emerson Winchester the Third), even in the early years, because she demonstrated very human traits. She was compassionate and professional and kick ass in her job, but didn't always make awesome choices privately. The episode you mentioned was one of my absolute favorites (I can still hear the catch in her voice when she's telling the nurses about hearing them laugh as she passes by, literally on the outside) because you could really detect the choice the writers made, when they decided to humanize her a little more for the audience.
