View Full Version : MASH mysteries
ficlopri 11-02-2003, 01:49 AM Of the later MASH stuff I loved the ep where BJ had to abandon the soldier and take off by helicopter. Later an absorbing mystery when Beej went looking for that abandoned fellow. I also liked Klinger trying to help SunLee (sp?) find her family. MASH's early years were best but these mystery storylines were good.
ficlopri 11-02-2003, 01:51 AM BTW Klinger helping SunLee was from Goodbye, Farewell, Amen, not Beej's mystery ep.
treky 11-08-2003, 03:51 AM he was also helping her in "As Time Goes By" which was the last half-hour episode (and they filmed after "Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen".-it's the one where they buried a "time capsule" (which the cast really did after they filmed "As Time Goes By"-but a Hilton Hotel has since been built on the site, the capsule's never been found and is considered to be lost)

So there is a mystery within a mystery... like, where did the time capsule go?
treky 01-24-2016, 03:03 AM since I made that other post 13 years ago, I found out that it was found once by a construction worker or something, he told Alan Alda or someone and asked what he should do with it, but I forget what they said.

13 years... looks like this Forum may be around a while.

Not if I have anything to say about it! :lol:
I'm not a BJ fan, but that is a great episode when he has to cut the rope. A realistic, well written story.

I've since found out the whole story, Alan Alda tells it in an interview on You Tube-a construction worker DID find it a month later and it WAS A.A. he asked what he should do with it. A.A. told him he doesn't care because no one wants it. To quote him "So as far as I know it might be up for sale on e-bay or something."

Yeah, I heard the same story. Alan told it on the MASH reunion podcast a few months ago. If you have not heard it yet, here is the link:
