Press Pass 46: M*A*S*H DVD Press Kit (2001)
When someone asks me when The M*A*S*H Historian Collection began, I typically say that it started in 2007 with a set of scripts. That is technically true, but there were M*A*S*H items that I purchased before the scripts. In 2002, 20th Century Fox began to release each season of M*A*S*H on DVD. Every six months,Continue reading “Press Pass 46: M*A*S*H DVD Press Kit (2001)”
Script Spotlight 53: “Movie Tonight”

M*A*S*H Rewatch: AfterMASH
Throughout 2025, I rewatched M*A*S*H and reviewed each season on the final day of the month. You can find an archive of the rewatch posts here.

Script Spotlight 52: “Dear Mildred”
As I completed my M*A*S*H rewatch in 2025, I noted which scripts I had previously reviewed in each season.

One ofContinue reading “Script Spotlight 52: “Dear Mildred””
