Alan Alda celebrates the 40th anniversary of the MASH series finale. Based on Robert Altman's 1970 film of the same name, MASH (which is an acronym for Mobile Army Surgical Hospital) premiered on CBS in 1972 and ran for 11 seasons and 256 episodes until 1983. The dramedy show, which followed the staff of an Army hospital during the Korean war, starred an ensemble cast led by the six-time Emmy Award-winning actor Alan Alda as maverick surgeon Benjamin "Hawkeye" Pierce.
