1 Comment

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of M*A*S*H, I’m taking a weekly look back at what episode of M*A*S*H aired five decades ago on CBS.

Episode Title: “Henry, Please Come Home” (#9, 1×09)
Airdate: Sunday, November 19th, 1972
Written By: Laurence Marks
Directed By: William Wiard
Nielsen Rank: 38th

The ninth episode of M*A*S*H aired 50 years ago today. “Henry, Please Come Home” aired for the first time on Sunday, November 19th, 1972 on CBS.

Here’s the capsule summary from my Episode Spotlight for the episode:

After the 4077th receives a 90% efficiency rating, Henry is assigned to a hospital in Tokyo, leaving Frank in charge. Hawkeye, Trapper, and others conspire to get Henry back.

Although aired ninth, this was actually the second episode to be filmed.

“Henry, Please Come Home” was one of 20 episodes included in The Hallmark Channel’s “M*A*S*H Bash 2007,” hosted by Wayne Rogers. The 12-hour marathon aired Monday, January 1st, 2007.

Check back next week for the next installment of 50 Years of M*A*S*H.
