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 43: Members of the Wedding
In March, I wrote a post about the press images that were released teasing the episode “Margaret’s Marriage” (05×24), which was the second wedding we saw in M*A*S*H. The three images in that post previewed the wedding by showing Margaret’s wedding dress and introduced Beeson Carroll as Lt. Col. Donald Penobbscott. This week, we lookContinue reading “Press Pass 43: Members of the Wedding”
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”
Press Pass 41: Margaret’s Marriage Teaser Photos
The major plot point throughout season five of M*A*S*H revolved around the character of Major Margaret Houlihan. In the second episode of the season, “Margaret’s Engagement” (05×02), she returned from Tokyo with big news: she was engaged to Lt. Col. Donald Penobscott. For the remainder of the season, she ended her affair with Frank BurnsContinue reading “Press Pass 41: Margaret’s Marriage Teaser Photos”
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”
Press Pass 34: “The M*A*S*H Olympics” Press Photo
With the upcoming 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris, I thought it would be fun to look at objects in the collection related to the episode of M*A*S*H, “The M*A*S*H Olympics” (06×10). Last week, I reviewed the script and episode, and this week I pulled out a press photo promoting the episode. The episode originallyContinue reading “Press Pass 34: “The M*A*S*H Olympics” Press Photo”
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””
M*A*S*H-ish 9: MASH Film 30th Anniversary Reunion (2000)
January 25 marks the anniversary of the release of M*A*S*H (1970) in theaters across the United States. When the movie was released, it was not expected to perform well, and its low budget was evidence of that. However, events of the late 1960s and early 1970s, specifically the Vietnam War, led to the dark satireContinue reading “M*A*S*H-ish 9: MASH Film 30th Anniversary Reunion (2000)”
