M*A*S*H OPENING CREDIT SEQUENCES
Season-8 1979-80

SEASON 8 - Version 1
Musically the same as season 7, this ran for the few episodes Gary Burghoff appeared in before his departure.


CREDIT CHANGES
1) Gary Burghoff's name has been moved to last, as he receives a special "also starring Gary Burghoff as Radar" billing. This was the only time a character's name was used in the credits.
2) Okay, probably the most anal observation on this site...the font for William Christopher's name has been stretched to make it taller. UPDATE: I've been alerted to a recent podcast with William Christopher in which he confirms that it was indeed him who asked that the size of his name be increased. He had noticed that it seemed a bit small compared to the others and was told by producers it was because of the amount of letters in his name...check out Chrstopher's interview at: http://www.justmyshow.com/MASH.html

SHOT CHANGE
The opening shot, showing the helicopters coming in the distance, has been cropped to eliminate Radar's shoulder and head.  This didn't really need to be done until he left the series...


SEASON 8 - Version 2 (MAIN VERSION)


CREDIT CHANGE
Gary Burghoff's credit has been removed.
