The first five seasons of M*A*S*H will be available to Netflix users starting February 1st, according to a list of February Netflix additions posted by Decider. This is huge news and I know there are a lot of fans who have been waiting for the series to finally be available for streaming. Why only the first five seasons are being added is unknown. Presumably the remaining episodes will eventually be added as well. Hopefully all 11 seasons will be available at the same time.

Please note that Netflix operates in a number of countries and I don’t know whether M*A*S*H is being added to just the United States version or others as well.

The first five seasons of M*A*S*H adds up to 120 episodes, including all of those executive produced by Larry Gelbart and every single Frank Burns episode. You’ll soon be able to stream to your favorite device episodes like “M*A*S*H — The Pilot,” “Sometimes You Hear the Bullet,” “Hot Lips and Empty Arms,” “The General Flipped at Dawn,” “Abyssinia, Henry,” “The Interview,” and “Movie Tonight.”

Coincidentally, the film MASH will be among the movies and TV shows leaving Netflix on February 1st so if you’ve been waiting to stream it you might want to get on that sooner rather than later.
