Loretta Swit Departs: Finally, Someone Escaped the M.A.S.H.-ed-Up Madness

Oh, what a blow to the world of interminably dragging sit-coms, Loretta Swit has shuffled off this mortal coil, leaving fans in mourning and critics scratching their heads in bemusement.
The radiant icon of television's less-glorious past, famous for her portrayal of the eternally exasperated Major Margaret Houlihan, reportedly succumbed to the Great Casting Director in the sky at her luxurious yet bizarrely chosen New York City abode.
Now, it's not like anyone's exactly shocked; the woman spent years playing a character who's probably developed PTSD from the sheer amount of time she had to pretend to be amused by the antics of Hawkeye and his misfit band of chuckleheads. Surely, she's earned her eternal rest, far from the cacophony of a laugh track.
One might wonder if she passed with a martini in hand, contemplating her next script for a role that would forever be defined by a little green scrub hat. May she find peace in the great writers' room beyond, where perhaps the scripts are less formulaic and the laughs, far less canned.
