Sinopsis [ editar ]
Temporada uno [ editar ]
En el episodio piloto de una hora "Septiembre del 53" / "Together Again", el coronel Potter regresó a casa desde Corea con su esposa Mildred (Barbara Townsend) en Hannibal, Missouri . Pronto descubrió que la jubilación forzada físicamente era sofocante, y Mildred le sugirió que volviera a trabajar. Potter pronto fue contratado por el grandilocuente y burocrático administrador del hospital Mike D'Angelo (John Chappell) como jefe de personal del Hospital de Veteranos General Pershing ("General General"), ubicado en una versión ficticia de River Bend, Missouri .
Max Klinger se había metido en problemas con la ley en Toledo. El coronel Potter le escribió y le ofreció un trabajo como asistente administrativo. La némesis de Klinger en General General era la secretaria ejecutiva de D'Angelo, Alma Cox ( Brandis Kemp ), una mujer mezquina que siempre estaba tratando de "ponerle las cosas", desde rebuscar en su escritorio hasta darle un día para prepararse. un examen de servicio civil , el último de los cuales, a pesar de sus esfuerzos solapados, aún logra aprobar.
El padre Mulcahy, cuya audición resultó dañada en el episodio final de M * A * S * H , sufría de depresión y bebía en exceso. Potter hizo arreglos para que Mulcahy fuera operado en otro Hospital de Veteranos en St. Louis . Después de que su audición fue corregida quirúrgicamente, dejó de beber y se unió a Potter y Klinger en "General General" como su capellán católico .
También estuvieron presentes el joven cirujano residente idealista, talentoso y a menudo hambriento Gene Pfeiffer ( Jay O.Sanders ), la atractiva secretaria Bonnie Hornbeck ( Wendy Schaal ), que tenía buen ojo para Klinger, y el veterano Bob Scannell ( Patrick Cranshaw ) quien sirvió bajo el entonces sargento Potter en la Primera Guerra Mundial y ahora era un residente del hospital durante 35 años (gracias a su exposición al gas mostaza ). A diferencia de los otros pacientes y el personal que se dirigieron a Potter por su rango de coronel retirado, Scannell lo llamó "Sargento" a pedido de Potter.
A mitad de la primera temporada, el Dr. Mark Boyer ( David Ackroyd ) fue presentado como un veterano endurecido que perdió una pierna en Corea y tuvo dificultades para adaptarse a la vida civil. A pesar de haber firmado solo para dos episodios, [1] su personaje comenzó a aparecer con más frecuencia hacia el final de la temporada, con tanta frecuencia que el Dr. Pfeiffer fue retirado repentinamente del elenco después del episodio debut del Dr. Boyer.
El único otro personaje principal de la serie original que apareció en AfterMASH fue Radar (interpretado por Gary Burghoff ), quien apareció en un episodio de dos partes de la primera temporada. Mientras Potter, Klinger y Mulcahy se preparan para ir a Iowa para la boda de Radar, Radar aparece presa del pánico en la casa de Potter en Missouri, creyendo que su prometida lo ha engañado en "It Had to Be You". El personaje de Radar apareció más tarde en un piloto llamado W * A * L * T * E * R , en el que Radar se mudó de Iowa a St. Louis , después de que su esposa lo dejara en su noche de bodas y se convirtiera en oficial de policía.. (La serie nunca se retomó, y el piloto se emitió en julio de 1984 como un especial de televisión en CBS exclusivamente en las zonas horarias del Este y Central; el programa fue adelantado en las zonas horarias del Pacífico y las Montañas por la Convención Nacional Demócrata de 1984 . El piloto / especial fue transmitido por CBS solo una vez).
La temporada incluyó escenas caseras con los Potter, sobre todo cuando se vieron inundados de invitados en "Acción de Gracias del 53", y Potter trató de mantener el teléfono ocupado para que Klinger no pudiera llamar a sus parientes, que estaban en camino para sorprenderlo. ; este episodio también marcó la única aparición en pantalla de la hija de Potter, Evvy Ennis, y el nieto de Potter, Corey. Uno de los episodios más destacados de la temporada fue "Fall Out", nominado al Emmy, donde Potter y Klinger consideraron dejar al General General, pero lo reconsideraron cuando vincularon la leucemia observada en un paciente con la exposición a pruebas atómicas; guionista y director Larry Gelbartrecibió un premio Peabody por este episodio. La temporada se cerró en marzo y Klinger fue arrestado por agredir a un agente de bienes raíces cuando la embarazada Soon Lee se puso de parto. En mayo, CBS anunció que el programa se renovó para una segunda temporada.
Segunda temporada [ editar ]
La segunda temporada comenzó con Klinger escapando de la cárcel del condado de River Bend para asistir al nacimiento de su hijo y permaneciendo fugitivo hasta que un juez lo envió a la unidad psiquiátrica del General General, donde Klinger fingió locura para evitar la prisión y los Potter acogieron a Soon Lee. y el bebé (aún sin nombre). Mike D'Angelo fue transferido a Montana y reemplazado por el nuevo administrador zalamero Wally Wainwright ( Peter Michael Goetz ). Anne Pitoniakfue contratada para reemplazar a Barbara Townsend como Mildred Potter. David Ackroyd fue ascendido a miembro regular del elenco después de múltiples apariciones como invitado en la segunda mitad de la primera temporada. Una nueva y atractiva psiquiatra, la Dra. Lenore Dudziak (Wendy Girard), llegó para comenzar la abrumadora tarea de evaluar a Klinger, mientras que Potter estaba horrorizado de que Wainwright asignara a Alma Cox como su nueva secretaria.
Relación con M * A * S * H [ editar ]
El personaje recurrente de M * A * S * H , el coronel Flagg (interpretado por Edward Winter ) apareció en la segunda temporada, ahora trabajando para una agencia de inteligencia no especificada cuyos agentes están autorizados a llevar armas en sus zapatos; está ansioso por testificar contra Klinger en "Trials". Los actores de personajes Arliss Howard , Timothy Busfield , William Sadler y David Graf aparecieron como pacientes.
Solo otros tres personajes de M * A * S * H se mencionaron en la serie secuela. Se hizo referencia a Hawkeye en el episodio de apertura de una hora en una voz en off de Mulcahy. Frank Burns fue mencionado una vez en la primera temporada (Episodio # 14: "Jefe de personal") y una vez en la segunda temporada, ambas veces por Sherman Potter. En un episodio de la segunda temporada (# 26: "Locura a su método"), el Dr. Potter escribe una carta a Sidney Freedman , quien se menciona que ahora trabaja en la Universidad de Chicago , pero no aparece en el episodio. También hay un momento conmovedor al final del episodio "Jefe de personal" en el que Potter se sorprende al ver que la oficina de su hospital ha sido redecorada con su escritorio, pinturas, silla de montar y otros artículos del 4077 como "Se reproduce Suicide Is Painless "; el retrato de Potter de Radar y su retrato grupal de Hawkeye, BJ, Houlihan, Winchester, Klinger y Mulcahy (del episodio de la décima temporada" Picture This ") continuó viéndose en su oficina durante el resto de la serie secuela.
In the penultimate episode, "Saturday's Heroes", the Klingers' baby is finally named. This episode (the final broadcast of the series) aired on May 31, 1985. (Several sources incorrectly claim that this episode ran on December 11, 1984, which was the originally intended air date for this episode. However, CBS had put the series "on hiatus" just a few days earlier and abruptly pulled the episode from the scheduled airing of December 11, even though it had been advertised in several newspaper listings and in TV Guide for that date.)

Production[edit]
Writing[edit]
AfterMASH made frequent references to M*A*S*H, and likewise featured storylines that highlighted the horrors and suffering of war, from the non-combat perspective of a veterans' hospital. The series was canceled after twenty-nine broadcast episodes. "Wet Feet", the thirtieth episode, was never aired.
Broadcast[edit]
AfterMASH premiered in late 1983 in the same Monday at 9 p.m. time slot as its predecessor, M*A*S*H. It finished 10th out of all network shows for the 1983–1984 season according to Nielsen Media Research television ratings. For its second season, CBS moved the show to Tuesday nights at 8 opposite NBC's Top 10 hit The A-Team, and launched a marketing campaign featuring illustrations by Sanford Kossin of Max Klinger in a female nurse's uniform shaving off Mr. T's signature mohawk, theorizing that AfterMASH would take a large portion of the A-Team audience.[3] In fact, however, the opposite occurred, as AfterMASH's ratings plummeted to near the bottom of the television rankings, leading to its cancellation just nine episodes into its second season, while The A-Team continued until 1987, with 97 episodes.
