Show Notes

Kenny Mittleider from Knights of the Guild, Alien Nation: The Newcomers Podcast & Confessions of a Fanboy Podcast, Simon Meddings from Waffle On Podcast, & Al Kessel from Tales from the Mouse House, Fast Forward & Just Because Podcast discuss one of the most successful and longest running television series in history.. MAS*H

Today we cover Season 1, Episode #24 - Showtime

Directed by Jackie Cooper

Written by Larry Gelbart

Production code J324

Original air date March 25, 1973

Set during the Korean War in the 1950’s

Plot Summary: A USO stand-up comic performs at the 4077th, and the performance is juxtaposed with clips containing the following: Henry’s wife back home gives birth to a son and the camp’s dentist receives his discharge papers and takes great pains to make sure he does not get injured before he sets off for home. Major Burns actually gets the upper hand over Hawkeye with three practical jokes. The first is when he sabotages the still, causing it to spray Hawkeye in the face with gin. The second involves the classic 'bucket-over-the-door' gag. The third and arguably craftier joke has Hawkeye attempting to use the shower, but is annoyed to learn that Frank has switched the showerheads to spray alternately whenever Pierce tries to use it.

Hope you enjoy it,

Kenny, Meds & Al

Looking Back...Looking Forward

Hi Gang,
Al here. You know, I'm the host with the most...hair? :) Hey, I just wanted to take this time to thank all of you who've downloaded, listened, participated, etc, in the M*A*S*H 4077th Podcast during season one. We love this classic TV show, but truly YOU'RE the main reason we keep doing this podcast. Without you downloading and tuning in, we'd just be three geeks sitting in front of microphones. Well, two geeks and one awesome guy with lots of hair (I'll let you work out who that one is!).

Recently the three of us started recording Season Two of M*A*S*H and, well, we had a blast! It's been terrific working with Kenny and Simon, and although Kenny lives in California and Simon lives in a penal colony in England (ok, that's not true but he DOES live in England), when we record together it's like we're in the same room. Honestly these are two of the greatest co-hosts a podcaster could hope for. They share my love for this awesome TV show, and allow me to have as much fun as I can! Usually at their expense!!

Season One was a lot of fun to record because it allowed us to "kick the tires and light the fires" on this podcast, finding our groove so to speak, and it also gave me a great reason to get reacquainted with a TV show that has so much meaning for me in my life. It goes beyond entertainment, and kind of weaves its "magic" through my most treasured, fondest memories as a kid. Looking ahead to Season Two...well, all I can say is make sure you buckle your seatbelts because this is going to be a FUN, informative and WILD set of podcast episodes!

Thanks again for listening to the show, and hey, why not hop on over to iTunes and give us some feedback and ratings??? And while you're ON the internet, mosey on over to our merchandise store at http://www.zazzle.com/mash4077podcast and pick up some AWESOME stuff!! Ok, Peace Out!
