On this day in 1983 the final episode of the television series “M*A*S*H” aired on CBS. The last show was called “Goodbye, Farewell and Amen,” and became the most-watched program in television history at the time, with a 60.3 rating and a 77 percent share. Or in other words, 60 percent of the TV’s turned on that night were watching the show. This equates to about 125 million people. The show -- about the fictitious United States’ 4077th Mobil Army Surgical Hospital stationed in Korea during the Korean War -- was one of the most popular syndicated series of all time.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
