I’ve updated my feature on The Hallmark Channel’s M*A*S*H Bash specials, broadcast in January and May of 2007, respectively. In fact, each special now has its own page. Wayne Rogers hosted the first 12-hour marathon on January 1st, 2007 and you can watch four of his introductions here. Jamie Farr hosted the second marathon on May 31st, 2007 and you can watch all of his introductions, both specific and generic, here.

New Feature: Anatomy of a MAS*H Script

RJ — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 15:56:29 +0000

This latest feature was the brainchild of M*A*S*H fan Eric, who has a collection of scripts from the series and was able to provide summaries of four unproduced/unfilmed “spec” scripts a few months ago. Eric scanned several pages from a script for “Death Takes A Holiday” that was used by Albert H. Frankel, who was the men’s costume director on the series. This production used script includes call sheets, production requirements, shooting schedules, cast and set lists, the actual script pages and revisions and wardrobe sheets in which Frankel wrote down what the male actors were wearing in various scenes.

In my opinion, this feature provides a fascinating behind the scenes look at the production of an episode of M*A*S*H. The production requirements is especially interesting. You get to see all the different crew members required a day’s filming, from camera operator to prop maker to set dresser to dialogue coach. The wardrobe sheet is equally interesting. So take a look at Eric’s new feature: Anatomy of a M*A*S*H Script. Please leave any comments at the feature page itself.

Nurses of the 4077th: Same Face, Different Name Updated

RJ — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 15:25:51 +0000

I’ve updated the Same Face, Different Name section of my Nurses of the 4077th feature with information on actress Lynette Mettey, who appeared in six episodes of M*A*S*H as four different characters. She played Lt. Nancy Griffin (or just Nancy) in three Season One episodes and then, for some reason, was later credited as Nurse Sheila Anderson, Nurse Baker and Nurse Able. Did the writers simply forget about her earlier character?
