All About M*A*S*H Since 1999
The past year was a slow one for M*A*S*H. The series celebrated its 40th anniversary in September but the milestone was all but ignored.

Forty years ago at 8PM ET on Sunday, September 17th, 1972 the premiere of M*A*S*H was broadcast on CBS. It seems like just yesterday was the 35th anniversary and the day before that the 30th. Yet here we …

Did you know that episodes of M*A*S*H have been released on VHS, LaserDisc, CED and DVD? Read my new article M*A*S*H on Home Video to learn all about the various home video releases, focusing heavily on the Columbia House VHS tapes and the more recent DVD sets.
I’ve just finished a new Prop Spotlight focusing on Radar’s teddy bear, which you can find here. I’ve always been torn about Radar sleeping with and carrying a teddy bear. On the one hand, it worked well to show how some of the men in the Korean War weren’t men at all but boys barely …
