M*A*S*H Ad: "Bottle Fatigue"

sg
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?

M*A*S*H Ad: "War For All Seasons"

sg
"Happy Fun New Year" feels like a tagline that was translated into another language, and then back into English...

M*A*S*H Ad: "Lend A Hand"

sg
"Hawkeye Missing" is more than a little misleading...and check out that groovy outfit Dr. Borelli is wearing!

M*A*S*H Ad: "Period of Adjustment"

sg
Oh man do I love that shot of B.J....

M*A*S*H Ad: "That Darn Kid"

sg
I love the idea of 20th Century Fox sending out promo stills of the goat.

M*A*S*H Ad: "The Yalu Brick Road"

sg
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.

M*A*S*H Ad: "Guerilla My Dreams"

sg
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...

M*A*S*H Ad: "The Price"

sg
A very silly write-up for what was one the show's more serious episodes. I guess the copywriter just couldn't resist.

M*A*S*H Ad: "Rainbow Bridge"

sg
"And almost start World War III" is a little much...

M*A*S*H Ad: "Good-Bye, Radar"

sg
Kind of an odd description of the episode, but thank goodness we know who played "Hondo"!

M*A*S*H Ad: "Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen"

sg
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.

M*A*S*H Ad: "Oh, How We Danced"

sg
B.J. looks appropriately sad, Hawkeye looks...kinda manic, actually.

M*A*S*H Ad: "To Market, To Market"

sg
Apparently the joke Hawkeye and Trapper heard was so funny they kept laughing all the way into the next episode!

M*A*S*H Ad: "Pilot"

sg
This is one weird ad...picture and copy! Would you watch this series?

M*A*S*H Ad: "Officer of the Day"

sg
An ad from one of my all-time favorite episodes. Bonus: clip out the Hawkeye and Trapper stamp and save 'em all!

M*A*S*H Ad: "Are You Now, Margaret?"

sg
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?

M*A*S*H Ad: "Picture This"

sg
Hot Lips gives this episode the thumbs up!

M*A*S*H Ad: ?

sg
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?

M*A*S*H Ad: "Back Pay"

sg
If you can forgive Hawkeye's odd positioning, this ad works relatively well--they even worked in Col. Potter's disapproving look!

M*A*S*H Ad: "Life Time"

sg
This episode is so special B.J. shaved his mustache off just for the ad!


Tuesday, May 10, 2011

M*A*S*H Ad: "Mr. and Mrs. Who?"

sg
For once, a fairly accurate description of an episode's plot!

M*A*S*H Ad: "Rally 'Round The Flagg, Boys"

sg
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...

M*A*S*H Ad: "Trick or Treatment"

sg
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"?


Friday, May 6, 2011

M*A*S*H Ad: "As Time Goes By"

sg
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.

M*A*S*H Ad: Making of M*A*S*H"

sg
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!

M*A*S*H Ad: "Identity Crisis"

sg
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.?

M*A*S*H Ad: "Goodbye Radar"

sg
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!
