Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT MASH evolved a lot throughout its early seasons, but one original character had to go to fully complete its transformation. This classic sitcom had to drop the bad language and gore of Robert Altman's 1970 movie, but it still became one of the most grown-up shows on television. MASH ran for 11 seasons in total, which saw it shake off the traditional sitcom format to become a medical drama that happened to be funny.
Burns was, by design, a hateful character; a pompous, cowardly and hypocritical man who despite his religious leanings, carried out an extended extramarital affair with Margaret. Despite his claims otherwise, he wasn't that great of a surgeon either. Frank Burns didn't get a goodbye storyline on MASH and simply disappeared between seasons 5 and 6 of the show. According to writer Ken Levine on his blog, there was a concentrated effort to tempt Linville back for a special episode to open season 6. This was to give the character a proper farewell, but despite being offered a lot of money, Linville passed.
