The following is a list of cast members from the television series adaptation of M*A*S*H.The term cast members includes one-episode guest appearances. The popularity of M*A*S*H is reflected in the fact that "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen", the show's series finale, was the most watched TV series finale ever when it first aired in 1983, and it remains in that position four decades later.
The episode aired on CBS on September 27, 1977 [1] and is the first episode where the character of Frank Burns does not play a part in (although Larry Linville, the actor who played Burns, left the series at the end of the fifth season, the character was used in "Fade Out, Fade In", where an unseen and unheard Frank makes a phone call to the camp).
Despite wide popularity in its premiere episodes, script problems and constant character changes led to a sharp decline in viewers, and the show was canceled by CBS after only two seasons. Another would-be spin-off, W*A*L*T*E*R, was a pilot made in 1984 that was never picked up. It starred Gary Burghoff, who reprised his M*A*S*H character.
