Next Thursday will be the 30th anniversary of “Goodbye, Farewell and Amen.” To celebrate, over the next week I’ll be posting news reports from the final day of filming for the series, which took place on Friday, January 14th, 1983, as well as the day the final episode aired.
To kick things off, here’s a segment from the CBS Evening News with Dan Rather about the final day of filming. It includes interviews with Larry Gelbart and Alan Alda as well as some footage of G. W. Bailey, Kellye Nakahara and Jo Ann Thompson being interviewed.
