September 17th, 1972 - The first episode of "M*A*S*H" aired on CBS

Happy Anniversary to the folks at M*A*S*H! From 1972 to 1983 not only did you provide us with many laughs and lots of quality entertainment. You also gave us a whole lot to think about and in so doing you changed the definition of a sitcom could be and how it could affect it's audience. Thank-you!
