I will never forget that my 6th grade teacher gave us homework on the night the last M * A * S * H* episode aired. He made it mandatory that we all watch the show. He knew it was going to be a cultural phenomenon and he did not want any of us to miss it. He was a wise man. I will never forget that episode. Although a different demographic, I am sure that if I walked into a party of people age 47 to 97 and said "How about that chicken in the last episode of MASH?" Every person would be able to chime in.
