Memories of M*A*S*H included brand-new interviews with the cast as well as producers, creators and guest-stars. The 90-minute retrospective aired on November 25, 1991 on CBS as part of its “Classic Weekend II,” which also included “The Bob Newhart 19th Anniversary Special” and “The Best of Ed Sullivan II.” Dozens of clips from over over sixty different episodes were shown. It was the brain-child of Michael Hirsch, who directed the special, and who was also responsible for "Making M*A*S*H" in 1981. The show coincided with the 20th anniversary of M*A*S*H. The broadcast ranked fourth for the week and helped CBS win the Thanksgiving “sweeps” week. A rebroadcast in August 1992 tied for 38th.
