Thirty-one years ago today, CBS premiered a new comedy based on a hit movie, called M*A*S*H. Today, the show has evolved into much, much more. It’s a cultural icon, a television standard, and a mainstay for American viewers for 11 years, 1972 to 1983.
And while it has been off the air for over twenty years, it still thrives in syndication, bringing in new fans from new generations.
If you have the chance, dig out your copy of “M*A*S*H — The Pilot,” sit back, relax, and watch how it all started, thirty-one years ago today.
