  1. Thank you so much for this! I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I used to watch this w/my mom, in her room and loved it.

  2. Thanks for putting this episode air date & rerun guide together. One small glitch: I think you meant to say Feb. 1983 (not 1982) is when the final episode of Season 11 was run. ALICE was also the show that CBS ran going into the MASH finale: this bit of trivia showed up as a question on WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE many years later.
    I haven’t run a check on this, but I’m wondering if there was ever a MASH episode that CBS did not ever rerun in primetime. This situation didn’t happen often in the 70s, since series production schedules dropped from 30+ episodes per season down to 22-24 per season, but it did happen on occasion I’ve noticed on ABC series like THE BRADY BUNCH and THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY.

  3. I have watched Mash since its Inception and all the way through all of their repeats. And what i find is humor more based on misogyny and racial fear and hatred.than I was comfortable with. I saw nurses, who’s various valid suggestions be ignored and ridiculed by the male docs – because they were only nurses. What’s sad is that by the early ’80s when entered , when I graduated with my AAS as a registered nurse, with 3.3 GPA the sexist, patriarchal attitudes and actions hasn’t changed in the 30 years since the early ’50’s.. I had to carry the docs”charts and walk 3 steps behind the almighty MD. Our knowledge of or suggestions for our patients were laughed at or unheard. Denying half the experience of the team led to misdiagnosed patients, mor suffering or overzealous medicating by docs, which lead to over sedation or outright deaths from overdoses. And my all time favorite- we “uneducated, inexperienced,, glorified bed pan emptiers were- by law- expected to know when a doc made an error and confront him with it. If we did confront, we would be publicly excoriated by both the doc and the has nurse. If we carried out his errant order, we got blamed for any and all problems with the patient. Bare bones- we had to know more than the docs, on less than 1/8 the educations in order to protect both docs and nurses. Even in this century, you still come across the doc dinosaurs, who see no reason to change what’s always worked, even when profoundly better methods are extant- of they’d: check their professional journals. However, I do love to watch mash: to see glass IV bottles, a real, original pleural and- my favorite- the waggenstein suctio, which I used in the early’80s in nursing school and in my very first paying gig as an RN in South Central KY

  4. Actually,according to Wikipedia,CBS aired “Goodbye,Farewell,and Amen” one last time around the summer or fall of 1984. Can this be confirmed? I was only 2 years old at that time so I wouldn’t remember.

      1. I checked that date (5/26/1984) also against online newspapers. It was a Saturday night, and CBS aired the movie “Xanadu”. I remember watching “High School USA” on NBC the same night, which was an hour-long pilot that followed a successful tv movie of the same name from the previous fall.

    1. I remember reading about a final rerun on Tues. Sept. 18, 1984, and I confirmed from online newspapers that CBS reran the finale one last time in primetime, after an episode of the new sitcom E/R. I’d seen it twice recently already, as had most people, so this time it had poor ratings (according to what I read about that final rerun). For what it’s worth, it also had competition in its first 1/2 hour from the THREE’S COMPANY series finale, which I do remember watching that night. The next week on Tues. Sept, 25, AFTER MASH had its 2nd season premiere at 8 PM ET (when E/R had been aired the previous week), followed by E/R in its regular time slot. AFTER MASH only lasted a few more months that season, but E/R had a full 22-episode season. E/R had a couple notable actors in recurring roles, Jason Alexander, who started on SEINFELD about 5-6 years later, and George Clooney, who finally hit it big in the similarly-named drama ER 9 years after this show’s end.
