As I have made my journey through the M*A*S*H licensed products universe, I have written about a variety of products ranging from M*A*S*H themed alcohol, action figures, Halloween costumes, games, a train set, toys, and clothing (I previously wrote about a licensed products kit distributed by Twentieth Century Fox Television). Last month, I wrote about a beach towel that featured the original cast.Continue reading “MishM*A*S*H 49: Durham’s Action Figures”

Press Pass 44: Alan Alda AP Photo (1973)
When I first started collecting M*A*S*H items in 2007, I quickly realized that the scripts, press materials, etc. from the late 1970s and early 1980s were fairly easy to find. However, since M*A*S*H wasn’t as popular in its first season, it is harder to find anything that was saved from the earlier seasons. This isContinue reading “Press Pass 44: Alan Alda AP Photo (1973)”
MishM*A*S*H 43: Milton Bradley Puzzles
In the early 1980s, there was a deluge of M*A*S*H themed licensed products. The products were released in coordination with 20th Century Fox Television, and I have previously written about a licensed product kit that included a wide variety of items. M*A*S*H fans could buy M*A*S*H themed alcohol, action figures, Halloween costumes, trivia games, clothing,Continue reading “MishM*A*S*H 43: Milton Bradley Puzzles”
MishM*A*S*H 38: Tristar Action Figures
Earlier this year, I wrote a post about the Tristar M*A*S*H Military Base play set from 1982. It is a very popular collectable for M*A*S*H fans, and several people commented that I need to write a post on the Tristar action figures. There was only one issue…I didn’t have all of them in the collection!Continue reading “MishM*A*S*H 38: Tristar Action Figures”
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. In 1981, the costume company Ben Cooper released a M*A*S*H themed Halloween costumeContinue reading “MishM*A*S*H 37: M*A*S*H Halloween Costume”
Script Spotlight 33: “Father’s Day”
In a few weeks, we will celebrate Father’s Day in the United States, and for June’s script spotlight, I felt like the best episode choice was “Father’s Day” (09×04). This episode has a lot going for it. It has a strong A-story, we get to meet Margaret’s infamous father, the B-story is light hearted andContinue reading “Script Spotlight 33: “Father’s Day””
MishM*A*S*H 32: Milton Bradley Board Game
As readers know, my M*A*S*H collection primarily consists of objects related to the production of the show. Scripts, press material, objects from the set, books and memoirs, etc. are my primary focus. But there are some licensed products in my collection as well, and I thought I highlight some of the more fun items. M*A*S*HContinue reading “MishM*A*S*H 32: Milton Bradley Board Game”
Script Spotlight 31: “April Fools”
Update (4/4/2024): Corrected the information about the filming order of this episode. I originally stated that this episode was likely the last episode filmed, but the scripts for both “War Co-Respondent” (08×23) and “Back Pay” (08×24) are dated after this script. Once I realized that this post would go live on April 1, finding aContinue reading “Script Spotlight 31: “April Fools””
MishM*A*S*H 25: Donruss Bubble Gum/Trading Cards
In 1982, the year in which M*A*S*H began its final season, the trading card company Donruss released a series of M*A*S*H trading cards. These cards were packaged with gum, and you could try to collect all 66 of the cards. On the front the card was a cast member photo, cast photo, or a screenshotContinue reading “MishM*A*S*H 25: Donruss Bubble Gum/Trading Cards”
MishM*A*S*H 18: Behind the Scenes at the Smithsonian
UPDATE (3/9/2023): I apologize because I made a mistake in saying that none of the names on the “M*A*S*H 4077” sign in the Officers’ Club were real. Thanks to Dan Harrison, nine of the names have been identified, and more details on the sign can be found in this new post! In January, I wentContinue reading “MishM*A*S*H 18: Behind the Scenes at the Smithsonian”
