While watching the final episode of MASH on TV this week, and then doing some research online to answer my wife's questions, I was reminded of this followup to MASH.  I was wondering, does anyone remember ever watching AfterMASH when it was on the air?  And has anyone here heard if it will be released on DVD someday?

I remember watching the premiere episode Charles. I was very young at the time, but clearly recall Potter and Clinger working in a hospital stateside. I don’t know who controls the rights to the show, but it seems that since they are releasing all the MASH seasons on DVD that AfterMASH would follow…..after. I have not heard anything about it yet, and I cruise the DVD news pages on a regular basis.

I don't think it lasted very long.  Was Wm Christopher on that?


Anybody remember Adam Cartwright impersonating Trapper John?

Yes, Father Mulcahey was one of the people that didn't want to end MASH, so he got to be on AfterMASH.

I remember Trapper John MD, and used to wonder why they bothered calling him that, when the show had zero connections to MASH.

It did go on too long, though, didn't it?  MASH, I mean.  I used to love it, but it lost its edge after a while.  I preferred the first three seasons, but it was generally good up to the end of 8.  After that, the good stuff was few and far between and a lot of sentimentality crept in.  Still out of 11 (12?) seasons, you've probably got about seven full seasons of genuinely good (sometimes great) episodes. I 've got the early seasons on DVD and plan to watch them when I've gone through Homicide (again!).

I believe I read, while researching AfterMASH, that the producers of MASH admitted many of their plots came from true stories told to them by Korean war veterans, and that around season 8 or 9, they didn't have too many original true stories to pull from, so it does get a little thin towards the few final years.

This is funny cuz I had a real strong desire to watch the Final episode of MASH last week but I had no copy and I dont want to spend any money on it...I watched the Final when it aired in 1983 and wasn't completely satisfied so 23 years later I wanted to rewatch it last week!!! Tongue ...I was a huge fan of the show...I did watch the first episode of AfterMASH and was bored to tears...I think only 10 episodes were ever made..they should probably tack them onto the Final season of MASH DVD set or a rerelease of the Final episode....

My fav charachters were Hawkeye, Winchester and Col Potter

AfterMash was pretty bland.  I saw most of it when it aired out of respect to the original show.  I was in college at the time....Potter and Klinger working at a VA Hospital.  I can't recall but I think Klinger's Korean wife was in it as well.
