'M*A*S*H' Stars: Where Are They Now?

TV Classic Launched Several Careers In 11-Year Run

It's been more than 25 years since the classic television comedy "M*A*S*H" came to an end -- a show about a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital in Korea that ran for 11 years and captured the hearts of millions of viewers.

For the landmark 60th annual Primetime Emmy Awards celebration, the Television Academy recreated a set from the series and key in on some of the most memorable moments in television history.

Among the moments voted on by fans was the heartbreaking scene from the "M*A*S*H" episode "Abyssnia, Henry" in 1975, when Cpl. Radar O'Reilly (Gary Burghoff) breaks the news in the operating room to Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda), Trapper John McIntyre (Wayne Rogers), Hot Lips Houlihan (Loretta Swit) and Frank Burns (Larry Linville) that their beloved Lt. Col. Henry Blake's (McLean Stevenson) plane was shot down on his way home.

The scene marks one of the many reasons why "M*A*S*H" is still a big hit today in syndication. A comedy set against the backdrop of the Korean War, "M*A*S*H" also had its share of poignant moments during the show's run from 1972 to 1983.

An Emmy winner for Outstanding Comedy Series in 1974 and multiple nominee and winner in several other categories (including wins for Alda for lead acting and directing, as well as Swit, Burghoff and Harry Morgan for supporting roles), the show's crowning achievement came on Feb. 28, 1983. That's when the "M*A*S*H" series finale aired, as 106 million viewers made the episode "Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen" the highest-rated show in television history.
