The last episode may have aired for the first time on this day in 1983 but in most ways it feels like it is still running whether as a result of airings on the Comedy Channel or via DVD. Amazingly consistently excellent quality despite so many seasons and changes in several important characters.
The series lasted 11 years while the Korean War only lasted for 3!
Trapper John left the show because he had been promised equal billing to Hawkeye but didn’t get it. Henry Blake was killed off because he quit citing inadequate facilities on set – and they were so annoyed with him they wanted to make sure he could never come back.
