Re: Character Actors I Would Have Love to Have Seen on M*A*S*H

Here's one I forgot to add to my list the other day: https://images.findagrave.com/photos250/photos/2006/346/6107367_116607719822.jpg Noam Pitlik This guy was almost everywhere back in the day, both on and off camera.

Re: Character Actors I Would Have Love to Have Seen on M*A*S*H

That's something else I think would have been interesting, if somehow any of the actors reprised their roles from HOGAN'S HEROES on M*A*S*H, showing that those characters were now involved in the Korean War. In addition to either Richard Dawson or Robert Clary, I could easily see Larry Hovis return ...

Character Actors I Would Have Love to Have Seen on M*A*S*H

One of the things that sitcoms and other shows of the 50s and 60s were noted for was their use of familiar faces in guest appearances, recurring roles, and other incidental parts - you would see these character actors on various different shows all the time, but this didn't seem to necessarily be so...

Re: Funky Background Music?

"To Market, To Market" perhaps made the most use of the funky and quirky music scoring, and yes, I too love the music that was used as we see Henry and Frank watching Henry's desk being whisked away by a chopper. I also loved the score that was used in "White Gold" while Flagg te...

Re: Hawkeye

It was actually towards the end of Season 4. But no, the reason why this episode was made was because Larry Gelbart wanted to experiment to see if just one character could carry the whole show themselves . . . but unfortunately, Hawkeye was kind of a poor choice, given that he was already the unoffi...

Re: (01x14) 014 - Love Story

Of the three episodes involving Radar falling for a nurse (or four/five if we count his final two-parter), this one probably comes in second place with me. Ignoring the hypocrisy of the nurses not wanting to help Radar after they gave the men such a hard time about wanting to get a date for Edwina (...

Re: (01x13) 013 - Edwina

This is one of the few episodes of M*A*S*H that, to me, feels less like an episode of M*A*S*H, and more like an entry in an anthology series, with putting so much focus on the guest character, and as such, that makes it such a weak episode, IMO. It is amusing, however, seeing the infamous casanova o...

Re: (01x12) 012 - Dear Dad

For the longest time, both "Dear Dad" and "Dear Sis" were tied as my favorite Christmas episodes of M*A*S*H, however in recent years, "Dear Dad" has taken head and shoulders over "Dear Sis." While both are still very enjoyable episodes, and very well-done in t...

Re: (01x11) 011 - Germ Warfare

Another interesting tidbit of trivia is this episode features the last appearance of two Season 1 characters who were written off of the show: Spearchucker and Boone.

Re: (01x10) 010 - I Hate A Mystery

I have to say, it was really clever of Hawkeye to stage that monologue, and bluff Ho-Jon into revealing he was really the one who had been stealing everybody's belongings . . . but what's interesting is when you rewatch Hawkeye's bluff, notice everyone in the tent goes to check their fingernails, wh...

Re: (01x07) 007 - Bananas, Crackers and Eggs

Hey RJ, I think you made a little goof here: the episode title is "Bananas, Crackers, and Nuts," not "Bananas, Crackers, and Egg." ;) That being said, when I first started watching M*A*S*H as a teenager, this episode really, really confused me, and I think this actually says a lo...

Re: (01x04) 004 - Chief Surgeon Who?

I see I never posted about this one, but nonetheless, I think it's a very decent episode: granted, as pointed out, it's an example of just how silly the earlier episodes could be in a sitcomish tone, but I otherwise thingk the way this episode is set up demonstrates what kind of show M*A*S*H is.

Virginia Ann Lee in roles outside of M*A*S*H, where she didn't have to wear Korean peasant garb, you get an idea of just how gorgeous she really was, such as this guest appearance from GET SMART: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMDVhOTRiNDMtODRlYy00ZDliLTg0MmItMjQ0ZGE2NTQwY2UyXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVy...

New Facebook Group

For the past couple of years or so, I belonged to a pretty neat M*A*S*H Facebook group, however I was recently banned from the group after a fight broke out between myself and another member who was very much reminiscent to Frank Burns; so saying, I decided to open up a new Facebook group, and I'm e...

Re: Things That I've Noticed In MASH

They had so many "Dear..." episodes that I wished they had done a "Dear Trapper" one. The closest thing we ever came to that was one scene in one episode from Season 3 (I forget which episode) where Trapper writes to one of his daughters for her birthday, describing how he lives...
