"Abyssinia, Henry" was the last M*A*S*H episode to feature this character line-up.
"Abyssinia, Henry" is the 72nd episode of the American television series M*A*S*H, and the final episode of its third season. First aired on March 18, 1975, and written by Everett Greenbaum and Jim Fritzell, the episode was most notable for its shocking and unexpected ending. The episode's plot centers on the honorable discharge and subsequent departure of the 4077th MASH's commander, Lieutenant Colonel Henry Blake, played by McLean Stevenson. The controversial ending, the reporting of Blake's death, has since been referenced and parodied many times. It prompted more than 1,000 letters to series producers Gene Reynolds and Larry Gelbart, and drew fire from both CBS and 20th Century Fox. After the episode's production, both Stevenson and Wayne Rogers, who played Trapper John McIntyre, left the series to pursue other interests. These departures and their subsequent replacements signaled the beginning of a major shift in the series's focus. (Full article...)
