From the archives: see a script for “Goodbye, Farewell and Amen” here (originally posted February 2022):

Yes! They could start a while “As seen on M*A*S*H” line of products!

Flavored SPAM could be interesting 🤔 Are any of them lamb flavored??

I am looking into it. There could be some truth behind it. That was around the time of the 30th anniversary special, and they did reconstruct some of the sets for that.

The episode is more complicated than I thought (it certainly couldn’t be because of M*A*S*H tangents)!

A powerhouse of a night for CBS! What a lineup!

I agree! I think they fleshed out most of the characters by the end of the series. Margaret, Father Mulcahy, and Klinger all grew as characters!

Not a lot. Once they knew McLean was leaving, Gelbart said they wanted Morgan and began crafting the character. Gelbart’s memoir briefly discussed it. I think the 30th anniversary special mentions some of the character’s origins. The process of creating each new character is not discussed in detail.

I do! I have most of the scripts for the series. I have written about several scripts, including the finale. This link is filtered to only posts featuring scripts: themashhistorian.com/category/scr...

Loved this episode, and it sent my down a rabbit hole! I found this cool video from Adam Savage’s YouTube channel where they show how this film is restored! youtu.be/rIOgaMnwRrQ?...
