ETA: nevermind, it looks like UVerse doesn't carry MEtv in my area
Check your local affiliates. Here, UVerse doesn't show it as MEtv, it's a sub-channel of the CBS station. I only get this station now because I'm on like U3000 or some insane number.

If not...
Hawkeye is very sorry.
So there's still hope! I'll have to just search the Guide and see if I can find it.
My area shows Cox, a few small local cable providers and then our CBS affiliate with "(over the air)" next to it. It's the same channel that Supernatural is on. Not that it matters for M*A*S*H, but it's not HD.

DH and I were watching the sun Netflix last night, and I spent an embarrassing amount of time looking up the actors on I am BD. What a cool group of people. It's very impressive to see how successful they were adventures after the TV show.

I've always thought that one of the great blessings the show had was really hard on the fans ... losing Henry, Trapper, and Frank. When the show started, most of the characters were not very nuanced (remember Margaret at the beginning?).
They could and obviously did evolve characters as time went on, but by the time they brought in Potter, BJ, and Charles, they knew what they wanted and created, from the start, characters with more depth.

I feel the opposite of Toledo on this. My complaint about Frank is that he was just a caricature. Margaret became much more interesting after he left.
Charles was probably my favorite character. Both DH and I think that Col Potter was the glue that held the cast together.

Best finale of any tv show, ever!
I'm with you, mcsangel2 - Charles is actually one of my very favorite characters ever. The episode where he gives the orphanage his homemade fudge, only for them to sell it for "real" food ... The huge grace and dignity he has when he realizes his blindness to their stark poverty is the kind of thing that is rare in TV characters.

And BJ was so much better than Trapper. Much more flushed out as a character.
To be fair, if Wayne Rogers had stayed on the show, I'm sure Trapper would have become better fleshed out, as did Hawkeye in the later seasons. The whole tenor of the show changed after the first several seasons.
I legit did not know for years that Trapper John MD was a spin off of MASH.
