Can someone answer my question about this series?

I loved this series and I have seen all the episodes way back...now that I'm seeing Dana Delaney on Desparate Housewives I've been thinking about CB again and can't quite remember the storylines of some of the characters. Can anybody jog my memory?

What happened to Hatch? I think he went MIA on his flight home - was it ever confirmed that he died?

What happened to Boonie?

In the reunion show Mcmurphy is married - what do we know about her husband and kids? If I recall correctly she is a hospital administrator right?

Is there somewhere I can get details of the series?

Well, let's see.

"Natch" (not Hatch) went MIA after he and McMurphy had a huge fight (she'd found out he was married and was furious); he turned up again quite some time later having been rescued but was never the same and I think he just went back to the World (and his wife).

Boonie lost part of his leg in a Jeep accident in Vietnam back in Season 4 and went back to the World as a result. KC sent her young daughter Karen off on one of the last choppers out of Saigon in the '70s with instructions to look for Boonie Lanier, and he raised her from that point on.

McMurphy met her husband at a wedding; I don't remember anything about her kids or what her job was. She briefly went back to nursing after going back home, but it was short-lived and she never went back to it again.

This website looks very promising for clearing up some of your lingering questions:
