Like it or hate it, this is a MUST for us M*A*S*H Completists. As far as I know, this series hasn't been seen since the Mid-80s when it originally aired. I personally have nothing but fond memories of it. (Although I hated it when they switched actresses playing Mildred Potter and made the character an idiot.)
There is a whole generation of M*A*S*H fans who have NEVER seen the show & would probably LOVE to judge for themselves. NOTHING could ever follow-up the greatest TV series ever..... But ....I found this show a nice attempt.
PLEASE FOX, FOLLOW UP THE FINAL M*A*S*H DVD RELEASE WITH THIS SINGLE "COMPLETE SERIES" BOX SET !!!!!!!!!
And don't forget to include the RARELY seen RADAR TV pilot.... W*A*L*T*E*R !!!!!!!

Man, this show was bad. While it was nice to see Harry Morgan, William Christopher, and Jamie Farr continue on in their roles, (e.g. how do they all adapt to civilian life, Mulcahy's deafness, Klinger and his Korean War bride Soon-Lee, Colonel Potter and his wife Mildred reconnecting after his retirement, etc., etc.) the potential to explore the lives of these characters was absolutely ignored in favor of too much emphasis on the supporting characters, (a butinsky hospital administrator and a female character who were always sort of conniving to thwart various efforts.) These were obviously intended as the "substitutes" for Margaret Houlihan and Frank Burns/C.E. Winchester, but they were so badly written and poorly performed that they just wound up being extremly annoying and very unwelcome additions to the story.
It also turned out to be a very painful show to watch because it was so poorly written and the stories were pointless. All the character conflict (both external and internal) that could have been continued was very quickly abandoned. (Mulcahy's deafness was quickly dismissed in a breakthrough medical procedure, Soon-Lee became an ordinary 1950's housewife, and so on.)
Another problem was the genesis of the show itself. In the last season of MASH, a vote was taken by the cast on whether to continue or "go out with a bang." The only cast members to vote to continue were Morgan, Farr, and Christopher. MASH had been a huge success for CBS and so they developed AfterMASH around these three actors as sort of a consolation prize. What could have been an interesting "dramedy" concept quickly became a sub-standard and, in fact, greatly inferior TV sitcom.
One of the best parts of the show however, was the theme music and that wonderful trombone solo by Bill Watrous. That was worth tuning into for the first 5 minutes or so.

I think it is interesting to see a Prime Time Spin-Off of the popular TV Series M*A*S*H come out on DVD. AfterMASH was number 15 out of the 30 best TV Shows and getting 20.1% of viewers, according to the Nielsen rating (The Nielsen Rating is the percent of all TV-equipped homes tuned to the program on an average night, as measured by Nielsen Media Research).
AfterMASH first telecasted on September 26th, 1983 until December 18th, 1984. Some of the original cast were on the show such as Harry Morgan (as Dr.Sherman Potter), Jamie Farr (as Max Klinger) & William Christopher (as Father Francis Mulcahy). It is just fun to see those actors return to civilian life.
The show lasted for 2 Seasons (First season 21 episodes and the Second season 9 episodes for a total of 30 episodes) or a season and a half to be precise.
The First & Second season episodes are as follows:
The First Season episodes:
01- September of '53 - Aired 9/26/83

I Also would like to see another Spin-Off of M*A*S*H on DVD which is the "Trapper John, M.D." , first telecasted on September 23rd, 1979 until September 4th, 1986 for a total of Seven seasons and a total of 151 episodes.
Thank you for reading my review :)

This was a series that aired one year after M*A*S*H ended. At the start of the last season of M*A*S*H, Harry Morgan (who played Col. Potter), Jamie Farr (who played Klinger), and William Christopher (who played the priest) voted for another season to happen. So, a spin-off was made.
This show takes place in Potter's hometown. He works at a hospital with Klinger and the priest, Father Mulchay.
The show lasted for one, one and a half seasons. It featured two guest appearances by Gary Burghoff (who played Radar).
