I love watching MAS*H repeats, but as I wasn’t even an embryo when the last episode aired, I’ve always wanted to know what happened in it. The only mention Cecil makes of it is to say the water pressure in New York City dropped when it ended, as thousands of people went to the bathroom at the same time.
But that’s not the point. I ask you, Teeming Millions - what happened?
Hawkeye cracked up after a woman killed her child so that they wouldn’t be discovered by the North Koreans.
The war ended.
Winchester started teaching some Korean musicians.
Mulcahey rescued them from a bombing but lost most of his hearing.
Klinger stayed in Korea to help his new wife find a job.

That’s what I get for thinking about something else while posting…

You know, I was going to be a smartass and tell you “Use Google, you fool!” til I did myself and found the online episode guides C&Pd the same single crappy explanation over and over.
Here’s a start, anyhow: http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/8915/season11.html (scroll down to the end).
zev, you should win some sort of award for that. I read the first one and went “HUH!?”
I read the second and laughed my ass off.
…WITH you, not AT you! 
Since this is about a TV series, I’ll move this thread to our arts forum, Cafe Society.
What Zev said.
If you’re a Margaret/Colonel Potter fan though, beware. The final episode didn’t leave them with a whole lot to do that was unique to their character. 
If I’m not mistaken, you can rent the final episode (as well as the whole honkin’ series) on video, and I highly recommend it.
It was simply a great finale’ to a marvelous television show. I get goosebumps just thinking about the last minute or so.
And no…I won’t post a spoiler! You’re just going to have to see it! 
The Korean War ended and they went home, some to star in AfterMASH.
That episode aired on my 17th birthday. I looked forward to it all month. That was the end of good TV.
I remember that episode. I saw it only once (when it originally aired). I remember thinking ,“Well, that’s appropriate. They stopped pretending it was a comedy a couple of years ago, so why not create a finale without a single laugh.”
Not that it didn’t have its moments (such as when Hawkeye and B.J. said goodbye to Col. Potter), but darn it they could have at least recognized their beginnings by mixing some comedy into it.
