M*A*S*H Makes Way Back to TV Land; Veep Returns April 16 on HBO
TV Land is bringing back M*A*S*H to its lineup beginning this President's Day (Monday, Feb. 20), with a President's Day marathon from 9am-9pm. M*A*S*H will then regularly air weekdays from 4-6pm, taking an hour away each from Gunsmoke and The Andy Griffith Show. TV Land has a long history with the series, as they first started airing it in fall 2006. M*A*S*H hasn't been seen on TV Land in a few years, since about 2013. Set during the Korean War, M*A*S*H is a medical drama/black comedy following the stories of U.S. military doctors and support staff stationed overseas. In addition to treating patients and encountering combat, the team of the Mobile Army Surgical Hospital endures dramatic tension often occurring between enlisted men and drafted soldiers. After an 11-season run, more than 105 million viewers tuned in for the finale in 1983, a record that held until 2010.
HBO has confirmed an April debut for the new season of Veep, with the Emmy(R)-winning comedy series set to kick off its ten-episode sixth season Sunday, April 16 at 10:30pm ET/PT. Veep stars Emmy(R) winner Julia Louis-Dreyfus as former vice president and president Selina Meyer. The cast also includes Emmy(R) winner Tony Hale, Anna Chlumsky, Reid Scott, Matt Walsh, Timothy Simons, Kevin Dunn, Gary Cole and Sam Richardson. Dave Mandel, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Frank Rich, Lew Morton and Morgan Sackett executive produce.
