The "M*A*S*H" reunion on "The Today Show" was pre-empted in my area today because of Senate Armed Services Committee hearings on NBC. I had taped all 3 hours of the show so I could be sure to see it. Is there a transcript anywhere of the reunion or can anyone tell me who was on and what they said? Thanks.
