when was the final episode of mash aired
Goodbye, Farewell and Amen Goodbye, Farewell and Amen is a television film that served as the 251st and final episode of the American television series M*A*S*H. Closing out the series' 11th season, the 2 hour episode first aired on CBS February 28, 1983, and retelecast on September 19, 1983, fittingly ending the series' original run altogether. (CBS reran it one last time September 16, 1984.) It was written by a large number of collaborators, including series star Alan Alda, who also directed.
The Last One (Friends) Prior to writing the episode, Crane, Kauffman and Bright watched finales from other sitcoms for inspiration. Kauffman found that she liked the ones that stayed true to the series. Filming took place at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California; part one was taped on January 16, and part two on January 23. The finale was well received by critics and the cast members.
