AfterMASH is the spinoff of the 1972 popular sitcom M*A*S*H franchise. Even though the story of the show was quite compelling, it failed to gain good ratings. The series' main plot involved the post-Korean war exploits of Sergeant Maxwell Klinger, played by Jamie Farr, Colonel Sherman Potter, and Harry Morgan, and Father John Mulcahy, played by William Christopher). This CBS show failed to entertain the viewers.
