M*A*S*H Goes to Maine is a novel written by Richard Hooker and originally published in 1971. A sequel to 1968's book MASH: A Novel About Three Army Doctors, it features several of that novel's characters back in rural Maine after the Korean War armistice. An attempt to adapt M*A*S*H Goes to Maine as a feature film sequel to the 1970 movie was unsuccessful.[1]

Richard D. Zanuck – the president of 20th Century Fox at the time – was never satisfied with any of the scripts submitted for M*A*S*H Goes to Maine, so he canceled the sequel and called Self to see if he was still interested in developing a M*A*S*H TV series.
