As I completed my M*A*S*H rewatch in 2025, I noted which scripts I had previously reviewed in each season. As I did that, I realized that there are seasons that I have virtually skipped over, so I am going to try to be better at featuring a wider variety of episodes this year. One ofContinue reading “Script Spotlight 52: “Dear Mildred””

MishM*A*S*H 51: M*A*S*H Calendars
As we prepare to say farewell to 2025 and kick off 2026, the topic for this week was obvious. What is something most people change on January 1? A calendar! In the last year and half, I have written about a lot of M*A*S*H licensed products including M*A*S*H themed alcohol, Tristar action figures, Halloween costumes, games, a train set, toys,Continue reading “MishM*A*S*H 51: M*A*S*H Calendars”
M*A*S*Hish 17: 8076th MASH Santa Ornament
Since it is the week of Christmas, I thought it would be fitting to feature a Christmas item. But I have already written about the M*A*S*H Christmas scripts (“Dear Dad” (01×12), “Dear Sis” (07×14), “Death Takes a Holiday” (09×05), “‘Twas the Day After Christmas” (10×09)), a few of the cast and crew gifts (M*A*S*H GreatestContinue reading “M*A*S*Hish 17: 8076th MASH Santa Ornament”
From the M*A*S*H Library 51: “One Foot on the Floor”
What is it? Chunovic, Louis. One Foot on the Floor: The Curious Evolution of Sex on Television from I Love Lucy to South Park. New York: TV Book, LLC, 2000. Why should M*A*S*H fans care? I’ve been reading books on the broader history of television, and I think this book offers a unique angle. As the sayingContinue reading “From the M*A*S*H Library 51: “One Foot on the Floor””
M*A*S*H Headlines 6: “Goodbye, Farewell and Amen” Gets Mixed Reviews
“M*A*S*H Headlines” is a new, limited series of posts that focuses on the press reaction to various events in the M*A*S*H timeline. The Press Pass posts focus on the press materials released by 20th Century Fox and CBS, but this series of posts focuses on the press coverage of M*A*S*H events including the release of Robert Altman’sContinue reading “M*A*S*H Headlines 6: “Goodbye, Farewell and Amen” Gets Mixed Reviews”
Script Spotlight 51: “The Incubator”
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””
M*A*S*H Rewatch: Season 11
Throughout 2025, I will rewatch M*A*S*H and review each season on the final day of each month. I am rewatching the episodes in broadcast order using the DVDs from the 2000s with the laugh track left on. You can find an archive of these rewatch posts here. When I started “Hey, Look Me Over” earlier thisContinue reading “M*A*S*H Rewatch: Season 11”
From the M*A*S*H Library 50: “Glued to the Set”
What is it? Stark, Steven D. Glued to the Set: The 60 Television Shows and Events that Made Us Who we are Today. New York: The Free Press, 1997. Why should M*A*S*H fans care? M*A*S*H is part of what is now considered to be the “golden age of television.” In his book, Stark argues that it isContinue reading “From the M*A*S*H Library 50: “Glued to the Set””
MishM*A*S*H 50: M*A*S*H Bed Sheets
In addition to my M*A*S*H rewatch in 2025, I seem to be fixated on M*A*S*H licensed products from the late 1970s and early 1980s. When I first began the collection, I never planned to buy products that were sold to the public. I wanted to focus on production materials such as scripts, press materials, props,Continue reading “MishM*A*S*H 50: M*A*S*H Bed Sheets”
Script Spotlight 50: “Strange Bedfellows”
It is already November, which means that I am in the final season of my M*A*S*H rewatch. It has been quite the journey rewatching M*A*S*H this year, and I am looking forward to finishing the series and sharing my thoughts later this month. Meanwhile, I knew I had to find an episode from season elevenContinue reading “Script Spotlight 50: “Strange Bedfellows””
