	List of episodes

"As Time Goes By" is the 255th episode of M*A*S*H, as well as the last episode filmed. The episode aired on February 21, 1983 on CBS. As it was the final episode filmed they took a moment to pay tribute to the characters (except for Trapper John McIntyre) who had left the series before its conclusion. It also introduces the character of Soon-Lee, who would play a vital role in the series' final episode and the short-lived spin-off AfterMASH.

The episode is dedicated to Connie Izay, RN, one of the show's medical advisors, who died before the episode aired.

Although this was the penultimate episode of the series, it was the final episode produced, wrapping on January 14, 1983 at exactly 6:05 p.m.^[1] The series finale, "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen", had been filmed earlier in the season's production schedule.^[2]
