Alan Alda as Hawkeye looking sad in MASH season 3 episode OR.
A classic MASH episode found a way to drop the dreaded laugh track by cleverly exploiting a network loophole. MASH ran for 11 seasons, and while it always carried an anti-war message, it evolved from a wacky sitcom to a borderline drama during its run. Since it debuted during the 1970s, it was a given it also had to have a laugh track.

An early example of this willingness to play with the rules was MASH season 3 episode "O.R.
MASH's "O.R." Gave The Show's Biggest Villain His Most Human Moment "Ferret Face" is given some rare humanization on MASH's "O.R." Close Hawkeye and Trapper regularly clashed with ranking surgeon Frank Burns during the early seasons, who was essentially the show's human villain. MASH only fully evolved when Frank left since he was such a cartoonishly unlikable figure that he felt out of place with the show's move toward drama.
After being so stressed out during surgery he almost kills a patient, Frank takes a break and ends up talking with Trapper. Frank asks why nobody likes him, and while Trapper claims he doesn't dislike him, he finds the Major "joyless." Frank then opens up about coming from a strict family with an abusive father, and that informed the man he became later in life.
