The MASH TV Show. With nearly an entirely new cast, the same MASH characters from the book and movie first appeared on television screens in 1972. This time, Alan Alda played Hawkeye Pierce and Wayne Rogers played Trapper John McIntyre.
While MASH was on the air Alan Alda directed The Four Seasons (1981), starring friends like Rita Moreno, Bess Armstrong, Sandy Dennis and Carol Burnett. The Woody Allen-ish tale of a clique of yuppies and their trials and tribulations was a big hit for Alda, and eventually led to a spinoff series in 1984.
