I lovee dvd episode menus soo much… especially these ones that are kinda like an I Spy.

Somewhere some graphic designer made a little interactive picture with perspective warped text for each episode just to make me smile :)

One thing about MASH is that after Wayne Rogers left they didn’t reshoot the intro and instead just cut around him and add BJ in. This means that while Trapper cannot be seen in the intro, his shadow remains visible in the shot where the jeeps carrying wounded are moving downhill

Transcript of the speech bubbles bc my handwriting sucks 😂:

Trapper: Look at those chubby cheeks! Don’t you just want to eat ‘em up?

Hawkeye: Yes, dear, but think of your figure~

Radar: Sirs, please…

The MASH timeloop isn't caused by the fucked up timelines or the blurred boundaries between days or the re-returning soldiers they have to stitch up, it's there because every time, after watching Goodbye Farewell and Amen I immediately put on the pilot. because I miss my friend Trapper John

one thing i love about mash is the little background things that they do. not because theyre essential to the plot or literally anything but it just helps the show and the characters feel so alive. hawkeye spraying bugspray around the tent and getting trapper in the eyes has absolutely nothing to do with the scene or the topic of conversation its not even integral to the episode its just something theyre doing in the middle of everything else happening because they have to. hawkeye sitting in the colonel's office filing the nails of the skeleton dummy just because he's bored. trapper creating a paper clip chain on one end and hawkeye dismantling it at the other end while theyre in a meeting. theyre reading theyre painting theyre writing theyre winding up skeins of yarn theyre knitting theyre mending socks and playing chess. theyre playing football or basketball or golfing or going fishing or having cockroach races. not because these things are important but BECAUSE theyre unimportant. its what makes them human. Its what makes the sets feel lived in and not just sets. if you've got a group of characters who never do anything but talk about the scene on hand then you dont have a group of characters at all you have a group of plot devices. make them bored make them fidgety make them interact with the environment around them make them live.

One of hundreds of letters sent to CBS after “Abyssinia Henry” aired 50 years ago today on March 18th, 1975. Many of them were from young children.

Last summer I started working on a project with these letters where I tracked down and spoke to many of the children who wrote them (now in their 60s). The project is on hold until I finish this school year, but I leaving cryptic messages on the answering machines of America's boomers resulted in some of the best conversations I've ever had. I'll keep you updated. I chose to share this image as the letter writer is anonymous.
