Cable channel FX is airing the M*A*S*H finale, tonight - July 4th!!! - from 8:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., EST. Adjust times according to your area.

Noticed in the favorite TV show thread there were quite a few M*A*S*H fans at Storm2K. Just passing along the info. I don't think I've seen this finale since it first aired in 1983! It's a classic........ I might add FX is having a marathon all day too. Started at 8:30 this moring. Here's what TV Guide has on their listings link:

M*A*S*H

Goodbye, Farewell and Amen
150 min.
A TV event for the ages gets an encore broadcast. After 11 seasons, the beloved series came to an eventful end with this episode, which attracted the largest audience ever on Feb. 28, 1983.

With the end of the Korean conflict imminent, the staff at the 4077th is preparing to say good-bye. But since this is war, there's no such thing as an easy ending. Hawkeye has been under psychiatric evaluation following a traumatic event; Charles is giving classical music lessons to a quartet of Chinese prisoners; Klinger finds himself falling in love with a Korean woman; and Mulcahy loses his hearing after an explosion. Sidney Freedman: Allan Arbus.

The best show was when Henry Blake got killed. That was the show at it's finest! That's one of the best TV series ever in my humble opinion...

Marshall - an excellent show indeed, agree with you there. I didn't always watch each and every week, but it has an honored place among the best, if not the best, shows ever written.

If you want to see that one episode again, go to tv.guide.com and see if it's listed today. It could be one of the shows they'll feature in this marathon, before the finale airs.

Not that it matters now, but the M*A*S*H Marathon on F/X began at 9:00 Eastern, not 8:30 AM Eastern. :)

Yes indeed, this WAS my favorite program, don't know why I didn't list it as one "D'OH!" There has never been a series like M*A*S*H since, probably never will be!
