Fox is ringing in the new year by turning back the clock four decades.
The network announced Wednesday that on Jan. 1 it will air M*A*S*H: The Comedy That Changed Television, a two-hour special featuring new interviews with surviving cast members Alan Alda (Capt. Benjamin Franklin “Hawkeye” Pierce), Gary Burghoff (Cpl. Walter “Radar” O’Reilly), Jamie Farr (Cpl./Sgt. Maxwell Q. “Max” Klinger), Mike Farrell (Capt. B.J. Hunnicutt) and Loretta Swit (Maj. Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan), as well as EPs Gene Reynolds and Burt Metcalfe.
In what is being billed as the “definitive” look back at the Emmy-winning series, which aired on CBS from 1972-1983, the retrospective will also include “never-before-seen behind-the-scenes footage, photos and stories,” per Fox.
