Digital specialty network MeTV is celebrating the 50th anniversary of M*A*S*H this week with “The Best by Farr,” episodes chosen and introduced by by Jamie Farr. Two of Farr’s favorite episodes air back-to-back Monday through Friday this week from 7-8PM ET.
Unfortunately, I’m late reporting this so the first six episodes have already aired. Here’s the full schedule:
Monday, September 12
7:00PM “Chief Surgeon Who?”
7:30PM “The Trial of Henry Blake”
Tuesday, September 13
7:00PM “Crisis”
7:30PM “Springtime”
Wednesday, September 14
7:00PM “Big Mac”
7:30PM “Abyssinia, Henry”
Thursday, September 15
7:00PM “The Interview”
7:30PM “Movie Tonight”
Friday, September 16
7:00PM “What’s Up, Doc?”
7:30PM “Point of View”
I plan on recording the episodes airing tonight and tomorrow so I can check out Farr’s introductions. MeTV has also posted the introductions on its website.

I thought I’d long know all the key details about this series. But Jamie has some production information in his segments about “The Trial of Henry Blake” and — this one really stunned me — “Movie Tonight” that I’d never heard or read about before.
