This Iconic '80s TV Series Killed The MASH Franchise (But It Was For The Best)
One of the biggest shows of the 1980s is responsible for killing off the MASH franchise, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
The MASH franchise was killed off by the success of a major 1980s series - which was for the best. Much has been written about how big of an impact MASH had on television. Putting aside its great gags and ensemble cast, it took big creative swings, such as killing off Henry Blake during the third season. Killing off a major character was a big no-no during the 1970s, but not only did the medical sitcom take the risk - which received major backlash - but it went on to pioneer blending comedy with drama.
