I wonder what the other 55% were watching instead of the “M*A*S*H” finale. I wasn’t even born yet when that aired.

I threatened the cable company to get hooked up in time.I told them I would have cable or an outdoor antennae by then. (and of course cancel cable request if I put up antennae.)I watched reruns for a year afterwards. There were only 2 episodes I didn’t like. They shouldn’t have killed off Henry, he left the show that should have been enough. And the bloody dream sequence episode ugh.

M*A*S*H was placed in the Korean War but based on the Vietnam War. I love the show and met Jamie Farr. He was very nice
