Jeff & Ryan welcome director John Scheinfeld and TV executive Dan Harrison to discuss the documentary, M*A*S*H: The Comedy That Changed Television, airing January 1, 2024 on Fox! We discuss the special’s 10-year journey to the screen, the challenges of distilling eleven seasons down to 2 hours, greenlighting the special for broadcast TV, and why John & Dan believe this is the definitive M*A*S*H documentary. All this and Elvis, too!
