On This Day: May 31, 1985 - Final Episode of AfterMASH Airs
On this day May 31, 1985, the final episode of AfterMASH aired on CBS, bringing an end to the short lived spinoff of the legendary series MAS*H. The show followed Colonel Potter, Klinger, and Father Mulcahy as they adjusted to postwar life while working at a veterans hospital in Missouri.

AfterMASH premiered in 1983 and ran for two seasons, producing a total of 31 episodes. While it began with strong ratings, interest quickly declined, and the series struggled to live up to the legacy of its predecessor. Despite its early promise, CBS pulled the plug midway through the second season.

Fun fact: AfterMASH was one of several MAS*H related projects attempted after the original show ended, but none matched the success or impact of the original series.
