Puzzle Description:

...Final episode of M*A*S*H airs... On this day in 1983, the celebrated sitcom M*A*S*H bows out after 11 seasons, airing a special two-and-a-half hour episode watched by 77 percent of the television viewing audience. It was the largest percentage ever to watch a single TV show up to that time.

I watched the original, then watched the reruns to the point where I could almost mouth the words along with them. Your ambulance is wonderful.

I was afraid it was going to be about the Red Cross for whom I have no love.

I was one of the 77% and I watched every episode up to the end. My dad fought in Korea and he has many stories about the helicopter medivac flights. Great puzzle

I thought the finale was a masterpiece, but my husband thought it was a disappointment. Go figure.

Didn't see the finale but I'm awfully glad I didn't miss this puzzle. Awesome ambulance Trevor. :)

Suicide is painless (the words to the M*A*S*H* theme)

I've actually only ever seen the movie pilot, since I was too young to watch the episodes when they aired.

Wonderful puzzle, Travis! I too watched it in 1983 and was disappointed. Years later one of our cable channels had the entire series on 5 nights a weeks at midnight, and it was only when I reached the last episode again that I saw it differently and came to the same conclusion as Belita.
