Burghoff returned for two episodes of AfterMASH, reprising his still popular role as Radar; he also did a pilot for WALTER in which his character becomes a police officer.
Burghoff made his TV debut in Repertoire Workshop, Burghoff has been in such television programs as Twigs, The Love Boat, The Kids on the Block, Tales of the Unexpected, Fantasy Island and The Donna Fargo Show.
