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!

From screen to 'possible' reality in form of Lego

The Mash 4077 Podcast has got off to a fabulous start and I'm proud to be part of it. Having been a fan since the age of seven i started watching as the series came to a close so those familiar faces of Hawk, BJ, Charles, Potter and Klinger drifted away from my screens within a few years of me becoming addicted.

Imagine my surprise when BBC2 began re-screening them right from the start and happy to see Hawkeye back, though his hair seemed a lot darker but where was BJ, Charles and Klinger? Instead I had a wise cracking man with curly hair and very white teeth and a man who seemed very uptight and having a foot fetish with another stuck up woman who looked a bit like a character I'd known as Margaret but here she was called Hotlips.

After a few episodes though I fell back in love and my addiction started again and has never stopped. At the age of 38 I still get excited when i watch a episode, even if its on TV i will still go out of my way to watch. I have the full DVD box set collection, the film, the large book, the Alan Alda end of MASH book and even the novels. Also sitting in my study is a Lego play set, actually its Lego but made by another company and yes you have guessed it it is the MASH set complete with ambulance, jeep, hospital, and that infamous sign pointing in all directions of home.

That Lego set sits away from my daughter, who in her own little world looks at Lego pieces as something to chew on, i see her point but she can stick to chewing her own blocks and not mine that make up my own little MASH 4077 base.
