MASH stars mark 50th anniversary

"The show that changed our lives," says Alan Alda.

Two veteran stars from MASH reunited to mark 50 years since the comedy launched.

Alan Alda played Hawkeye Pierce and Mike Farrell was B.J. Hunnicutt (from S3) in the comedy running from Sept. 1972 to Feb. 1983.

“Mike Farrell and I today toasting the 50th anniversary of the show that changed our lives – and our brilliant pals who made it what it was. MASH was a great gift to us,” Alda posted on Twitter.

A spin-off of the film and book of the same name, the MASH finale remains the most-watched of any series and scripted series in the USA at 105.9 million viewers.
