Ironic they would use a still of a pickled Winchester (from the episode "Mr. and Mrs. Who?") in an ad for a show about Hawkeye quitting drinking. And what happened to B.J.'s mustache?
"Happy Fun New Year" feels like a tagline that was translated into another language, and then back into English...
"Hawkeye Missing" is more than a little misleading...and check out that groovy outfit Dr. Borelli is wearing!
Oh man do I love that shot of B.J....
I love the idea of 20th Century Fox sending out promo stills of the goat.
This ad is clever, if awkward...they took a shot of Klinger from Season Eight's "Too Many Cooks (when he changed the Mess Tent into Chez Klinger) and used it for this episode, which, plot-wise, sort of sounds like it matches.
Hawkeye, for his part, just looks annoyed.
It took me a minute or two to figure out what episode they were talking about here...then I saw that small shot Mako in the center, which would mean this was for Season Eight's "Guerilla My Dreams." Not the most accurate write-up...
A very silly write-up for what was one the show's more serious episodes. I guess the copywriter just couldn't resist.
"And almost start World War III" is a little much...
Kind of an odd description of the episode, but thank goodness we know who played "Hondo"!
Not sure when this blurb is from, presumably its sometime around late 1983 or 1984, when some stations were re-running the final episode. The blurb itself is remarkably well-written; methinks who ever wrote it was a M*A*S*H fan.
What I also find interesting is that still of the four doctors--I've never seen that particular promo shot before. Its not a scene from the show, so its some sort of staged PR piece.
B.J. looks appropriately sad, Hawkeye looks...kinda manic, actually.
Apparently the joke Hawkeye and Trapper heard was so funny they kept laughing all the way into the next episode!
This is one weird ad...picture and copy! Would you watch this series?
An ad from one of my all-time favorite episodes. Bonus: clip out the Hawkeye and Trapper stamp and save 'em all!
You could argue Hot Lips should be front and center on this one, but otherwise this ad is fairly accurate.
Should "Commies" really be capitalized?
Hot Lips gives this episode the thumbs up!
Ashamed as I am to admit this, I cannot for the life of me figure out which episode this ad is referring to! Anyone have an idea?
If you can forgive Hawkeye's odd positioning, this ad works relatively well--they even worked in Col. Potter's disapproving look!
This episode is so special B.J. shaved his mustache off just for the ad!
For once, a fairly accurate description of an episode's plot!
This was a tough one--I'm guessing it was from Season Seven's "Rally 'Round The Flagg, Boys" where Col. Flagg accused Hawkeye of being a Commie.
Of course, he did that in every episode...
This ad actually managed to get the episode title in, albeit indirectly. I wonder what other show made up this channel's "Great new comedy hour"?
This ad isn't about the episode per se, but since "As Time Goes By" was the last episode of M*A*S*H filmed, it was at this shoot that all the press showed up to watch history being made.
I'm not sure what "making of" special this is--probably 1981's Making M*A*S*H--in any case, its fairly unusual for a UHF station to run a special like this.
Sad to say, I still have never seen it!
This description makes no mention of the main plot, involving Father Mulcahy and a young wounded soldier. *Sigh*
What's with the old, non-mustachioed shot of B.J.?
I love how they make it sound just a bit like Radar's going home has some connection to The White Shadow...TV show crossover!
