As we are well into May, and I have been rewatching M*A*S*H season five, I knew I had to choose an episode from the season to review. I am missing scripts for about half of season five, so that narrowed down my options. As I looked through the scripts in the collection, the cover ofContinue reading “Script Spotlight 44: “Souvenirs””

Script Spotlight 43: “Change of Command”
As I continue my monthly rewatch of M*A*S*H in 2025, I decided to sync my script review posts with the season I am watching each month. For April, I am rewatching season four, so I chose an episode from season four. Since I reviewed the script for “Abyssinia, Henry” (03×24) last month, I found itContinue reading “Script Spotlight 43: “Change of Command””
Script Spotlight 42: “Abyssinia, Henry”
On March 18, 1975, the season three finale of M*A*S*H aired on CBS. It had been advertised as the final episode for Col. Henry Blake, but fans of the series were shocked by how the episode ended. The death of Henry Blake was a defining moment for M*A*S*H, and I would argue, a defining momentContinue reading “Script Spotlight 42: “Abyssinia, Henry””
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 40: “Bananas, Crackers, and Nuts”
When I decided that I was going to do a complete rewatch of M*A*S*H throughout 2025 (see my New Year’s Day post to learn more), I wanted to sync the Script Spotlight posts with my rewatch. Since I plan to watch one season of M*A*S*H a month, it made sense to review a script forContinue reading “Script Spotlight 40: “Bananas, Crackers, and Nuts””
Script Spotlight 39: “Dear Dad”
Since we are only a few days away from Christmas, I thought it would be fun to review one of the Christmas/holiday episodes of M*A*S*H. The issue is that I have already reviewed all of them but one (“A War for all Seasons” (09×06), “Death Takes a Holiday (09×05), ‘Twas the Day after Christmas” (10×09), and “DearContinue reading “Script Spotlight 39: “Dear Dad””
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””
Script Spotlight 37: “Mail Call”
I believe that one of the best seasons of M*A*S*H is season two, and for this month’s Script Spotlight, I wanted to spend some time with an episode from that season. I chose “Mail Call” (02×23) because it highlights some of the best comedy that the series had to offer. Even the more dramatic scenesContinue reading “Script Spotlight 37: “Mail Call””
M*A*S*H-ish 12: “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown”
In addition to M*A*S*H, another fandom I have followed since I was a kid is Charles Shultz’s Peanuts comic strip, tv specials, and products. I have always liked the characters and the serialization of the comic strip itself. In 1967, a new Off-Broadway musical debuted titled You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown. The musical followsContinue reading “M*A*S*H-ish 12: “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown””
Script Spotlight 36: “The General Flipped at Dawn”
It is September, and that means the temperatures are going to start cooling off (or I hope so at least). September also meant it was time for the new season of network television to begin when M*A*S*H was in its original run. 2024 marks the 50th anniversary of season three of M*A*S*H, and I thoughtContinue reading “Script Spotlight 36: “The General Flipped at Dawn””
