All About M*A*S*H Since 1999
Sunday night’s hour-long episode of Family Guy (titled “It’s a Trap!”) was a parody of Star Wars: Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. Although it had its broadcast premiere on Sunday, it was released on DVD in December of 2010. At the start of the episode, in place of the famous “A long, long time …
Earlier this week I wrote about a new CBS drama titled Miami Medical that has connections to and has been compared to M*A*S*H. But Miami Medical isn’t the first medical drama to be compared to M*A*S*H, just the most recent. In September of 2002, ABC debuted a new show called MDs, a comedy/drama set in …

This particular reference took place during the March 19th, 1989 episode between two characters: Hanson and Penhall are attempting to apprehend a young …
I watched the original V miniseries this afternoon. It was broadcast by NBC only a few months after M*A*S*H went off the air, on May 1st and May 2nd, 1983. During a scene in Part II, I noticed the following sign:
