Repeats of M*A*S*H began airing on The Hallmark Channel (a cable channel in the United States) on September 1st, 2003. In 2007 the channel aired two twelve-hour marathons hosted by Wayne Rogers and Jamie Farr, respectively.

The first special, the “M*A*S*H Bash ‘07″ was aired on Monday, January 1st, 2007 from 8:00AM to 8:00PM Eastern with Wayne Rogers as host. Twenty episodes from the first three seasons, each uncut and thirty-six minutes long, were shown over the course of those twelve hours.

Here’s a list of the episodes that made up the special:

• M*A*S*H — The Pilot
• To Market, To Market
• Requiem For A Lightweight
• Bananas, Crackers and Nuts
• Henry, Please Come Home
• Germ Warfare
• Dear Dad
• Love Story
• Tuttle
• The Ringbanger
• Dr. Pierce and Mr. Hyde
• Kim
• L.I.P. (Local Indigenous Personnel)
• As You Were
• Mail Call
• Check-Up
• There Is Nothing Like a Nurse
• Bombed
• Love and Marriage
• Abyssinia, Henry

Wayne Rogers introduced each episode with a few sentences. These introductions ran between twenty and twenty-five seconds and also included a mention of The Hallmark Channel and the new year. Additionally, Rogers appeared in short segments before commercial breaks telling viewers to come back for more M*A*S*H.

The second special, the “M*A*S*H Bash ‘07: Klinger Edition,” aired on Monday, May 28th, 2007 (when Memorial Day is observed in the United States), with Jamie Farr as host. Again, twenty uncut episodes were shown between 8:00AM and 8:00PM Eastern. Each episode ran thirty-six minutes and in order to fit more commercials the closing credits were shown during the tag scene at the end of each episode.

There appeared to be some technical problems with the broadcast; several of the introductions cut to black abruptly before an episode began.

Only eleven of the episodes were actually introduced by Farr; three different generic intros were used on the remaining nine episodes. After the final episode finished, Farr returned to thank viewers for watching and to wish them a happy and safe holiday.

Here’s a list of the episodes that made up the special:

• “Chief Surgeon Who?”
• “The Trial of Henry Blake”
• “Officers Only”
• “Officer of the Day”
• “Big Mac”
• “Mail Call, Again”
• “Hawkeye, Get Your Gun”

The episode introductions ran roughly thirty seconds while the generic intros ran twenty to twenty-five seconds. During some of the commercial breaks Jamie Farr appeared in brief spots enticing viewers to stay tuned. These lasted roughly ten seconds.

As of June 2009, The Hallmark Channel has yet to air another installment in its “M*A*S*H Bash” series.
