MASH's theme actually has lyrics!
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT MASH's original theme song couldn't be used on the TV show because of one particular reason. CBS' hit series is regarded as one of, if not the best sitcom of all time. Following the 4077 MASH unit during the Korean War, MASH puts Alan Alda's Benjamin "Hawkeye" Pierce and his colleagues as they deal with the causalities of war, all while trying to make sense of their own thoughts about it.
Running for 256 episodes, including a super-sized finale that remains to be the most-watched television episode of a scripted series ever, MASH features a lot of iconic moments. Despite ending four decades ago, many of the show's running gags continue to be at the forefront of pop culture. Among the many memorable bits from MASH includes Max Klinger's penchant for wearing dresses and Radar O'Reilly predicting everything Henry Blake is about to say.
While MASH doesn't shy away from heavier topics, CBS still wants the series to be more lighthearted than not. Since the film's theme talks about suicide, the network doesn't allow the sitcom to use the original version of "Suicide Is Painless." Opening Altman's 1970 film with it somehow works, but using it as the introduction to a weekly sitcom with over 200 episodes would be too dark and grim.
