Re: Hogan's Heroes/M*A*S*H crossovers

I actually hosted a game on the forum a long time ago guessing the identity of M*A*S*H actors from their guest appearances on HOGAN'S HEROES, which you can find here: http://www.mash4077tv.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=208 And likewise I also mentioned the unidentified black extra in this threa...

Re: British and American English

You'll appreciate this, Florist: I heard the word "limey" for the first time yesterday. It was on a cable show we have here in the U.S. called WORLD'S DUMBEST...: it's a celebrity commentary show where they show a countdown of 20 clips for an hour of people blundering, bumbling, and otherw...

Re: British and American English

On the subject of different accents and such, here's an excerpt from an interview Richard Dawson did a couple of years before he died, explaining how he wanted to give Newkirk a Scouse accent instead of a cockney, but was told people couldn't understand what he was saying: V4t8K-xTliM He does have a...

Re: British and American English

I. . . . guess not? Because, honestly, I have never heard the time "limey" before in my life. The closest thing I ever hear is "blimey," which Brits seem to say a lot in our shows and movies over here . . . do you guys really say that a lot, or is it one of those exaggerated ster...

Re: Best Trapper episodes

"Radar's Report" contains perhaps the single best performance by Wayne Rogers on the series as Trapper contemplates killing a wounded POW. Larry Gelbart said that was one of his favorite Trapper moments, citing that Trapper, as a character, could be really serious and gutsy at time. I agr...

Re: British and American English

It always used to confuse me as a young Brit watching M*A*S*H when they would call their beds cots. Here a cot is what a baby sleeps in Those we call "cribs." Though, ironically, "crib" is also a slang term for what people in the rap and hip-hop industry like to refer to as wher...

Re: Playing Cards

Yes, you're right. Watching GFA again last week on MeTV, it caught my eye that Hawkeye and Sidney were playing with a particular deck I don't recall seeing in any other episodes: the design was very stylized, but it was sort of a pale, grayish-blue color. I don't know for sure, and I'd have to check...

Just another example of why Netflix isn't all that great as people make it out to be. ;)

Re: (03x07) 055 - Check-Up

Wayne didn't have a contract, he never signed it. There was a moral clause in the contract that said if could be fired if he did anything the producers or studios found morally reprehensible, to which he refused to sign unless there was an equal clause saying that he could fire them if they did anyt...

Re: British and American English

Meatballs cooked in gravy sounds delicious, lol! And believe it or not, even in our dictionaries, the meaning of "faggot" is a bundle of wooden twigs, as you say - it sort of makes you wonder how certain words got taken completely out of context and ended up being used for an entirely diff...

Re: Proposing New Feature or Mish M*A*S*H

Wow! To actually see all of Klinger's schemes and exploits listed like that, it makes you realize just how extensive his schinanigans really were! I think I'd still like to try my hand at writing such a comprehensive list of his schemes - as I said, I know there's at least one that he tried on both ...

Re: Introductions

And don't you consider the word "spunk" to be a swear over there as well? Over here, it's a way of saying someone has energy and charisma, while also having guts and willpower. Conversely, there's a few words in your vocabulary that aren't so clean over here as well - I believe a slang you...

Re: "Radar!" - "I'm right here"

That was something of a running gag, particularly throughout the first season: HENRY: RADAR! RADAR: (Overlapping) Yes, sir? HENRY: Dammit, Radar! How many times have I told you not to do that? There was even a couple of occasions where Henry questioned how Radar can know he wanted to see him before ...

Re: (08x03) 176 - Guerilla My Dreams

I was watching this episode again tonight (surprisingly) - I've always hated it, it's a terrible episode from a terrible season, bu ttonight was the first time I really caught sight of a common criticism this episode has garnered for years from the fandom, and it's how naive and idealistic the 4077t...
