Good topic, Big Daddy! This is news to me, but I know several of you have more "industry" experience or knowledge than I do.
Of course you're right, Finest, but I have a hard time imagining a spin-off/remake of any M*A*S*H material. Surely FOX would have tried that by now?
At most, I imagine a buyer might try to get creative about milking the show for the next 10 years or more. Now, THAT might turn out badly, if they cut episodes down further or something similar.
But I could see a buyer either getting new slots on MeTV, or perhaps committing the show to some station-specific channel, which is fine...I'll still watch the shows on DVD 99% of the time, as I don't have cable. But I'll catch it when I visit my folks during the holidays :)

I really have no opinion

Well, it's official: Disney owns M*A*S*H now.
And the thought of that makes me cringe.
Ironic that Walt himself was such a innovative pioneer in so many aspects, and that he advised other producers and creators to never sell out and to protect the properties you create because other bigger companies out there will try and take them away from you . . . and that's exactly what his company does.
Seems like MASH could be thrown in the pile of other properties that Disney owns, which would be bad. Or one of the bigwigs at Disney is a fan or remembers MASH when he/she was younger and champions MASH to ensure its continued availability.
I wouldn't assume that MASH will be part of Disney long-term. Disney could package portions of the Fox purchase and sell them piecemeal to other companies, too.
To me the bigger issue is how big Disney is getting and how much control one company should have over any industry.
