WGN America follows MeTV in airing special episodes of M*A*S*H in honor of David Ogden Stiers.
I didn’t see or even know about this until now, but it looks like a list of all MASH episodes from early S8 thru most of S9, w/ a couple late S8 episodes at the end. I don’t like the Winchester subplot of “Nurse Doctor”, but my all-time least favorite Winchester plot is from S10’s “Communications Breakdown”.
