How well do you remember the Thanksgiving episode of M*A*S*H?

What's turkey without a little M*A*S*H on the side?

 

Because M*A*S*H was set during the Korean War, the show did not have a traditional family-gathers-for-a-feast Thanksgiving episode. No, things go a little differently, and more awry, in the 4077. (The peaceful gathering would have to wait for "Thanksgiving of '53," a holiday episode of the spin-off series AfterMASH.)

In "The Yalu Brick Road," a Thanksgiving dinner leads to some real belly-aching. 

Let's see how well you remember this M*A*S*H comedy cornucopia. 

Watch M*A*S*H on MeTV!

Weeknights at 6 PM, Sundays at 7 PM

*available in most MeTV markets

How well do you remember the Thanksgiving episode of M*A*S*H?

I would have gotten 100%, except that I missed Question #9. The correct answer was "MIKE FARRELL", but I thought that it was "ALAN ALDA". SILLY ME! LOL!

If you studied before a test, it would count. So does this.

MeTV should get AfterMASH and give M*A*S*H a break for a month (or show one M*A*S*H and one AfterMASH in an hour). I'm surprised that it has never been shown in thirty years (at least I've never seen it or heard it was being aired on cable or broadcast). If Antenna TV can show The Ropers and Three's A Crowd in addition to Three's Company and Hallmark has shown The Golden Palace during the run of The Golden Girls then someone could show AfterMASH (including the episode CBS didn't air). Perhaps 20th Television doesn't want to release it for reruns?

This article might help explain other reasons for the syndication hesitation.

Don't even kid about that. AfterMASH should never air on television again. Most fans don't consider it canon and it's largely forgotten, and it deserves to be.
