After wrapping up my 2025 rewatch of M*A*S*H last month, I had to go back to an alternate method of finding scripts to review each month. For the last eleven months, I have reviewed a script in the season I watched as part of the rewatch. December is a holiday month, but I have alreadyContinue reading “Script Spotlight 51: “The Incubator””

Script Spotlight 41: “The Choson People”
Since I am rewatching one season of M*A*S*H per month throughout 2025, I decided to sync my script reviews with the season I am watching for the month. February means season two, so I had a decent selection of scripts to choose from. After reading over my list, I selected “The Choson People” (02×19) becauseContinue reading “Script Spotlight 41: “The Choson People””
Script Spotlight 38: “The Sniper”
With the passing of actress Teri Garr last week, I had a few people suggest that I should write a post about her appearance on M*A*S*H. Garr guest starred in the episode “The Sniper” (02×10) as a nurse who was a love interest of Hawkeye. Scenes from “The Sniper” episode later appear in the M*A*S*HContinue reading “Script Spotlight 38: “The Sniper””
MishM*A*S*H 37: M*A*S*H Halloween Costume
In the spirit of Halloween this week, I thought it was appropriate to find something Halloween related. Despite mostly collecting items from the production of M*A*S*H, I do have some licensed products that were produced and sold during the show’s original run.

Script Spotlight 26: “Hot Lips and Empty Arms”
With November 4 being Loretta Swit’s birthday, I wanted to find an episode that featured her acting talents as well as her comedic timing. In my mind, there was only choice, “Hot Lips and Empty Arms” (02×14). Of course, the first question was whether I had the script or not. Early scripts are harder toContinue reading “Script Spotlight 26: “Hot Lips and Empty Arms””
MishM*A*S*H 23: Licensing Conference Kit
Last month, I reviewed a Licensed Product Kit that was sent to retailers by 20th Century Fox Television highlighting the M*A*S*H licensed products that they could carry in store. This week, we look at the other side of the licensed products strategy by reviewing a packet from a M*A*S*H licensing conference held in 1981. This folderContinue reading “MishM*A*S*H 23: Licensing Conference Kit”
