Photograph caption dated January 14, 1983 reads, "At 7 p.m. the farewell 'M*A*S*H' press conference was still going strong, with Burt Metcalfe at the helm, keeping dutiful reporters from attending a bash at the Bistro for rival war story, 'Winds of War.'" The immensely popular satire ran 11 years - almost three times longer than the Korean conflict that provided its setting. Over the course of 251 episodes, the series garnered 99 Emmy award nominations and played to an estimated 224 million people.
