"Making M*A*S*H": Will it be included with the Season Nine DVDs?? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Dr. Thong · 06-10-2004, 12:54 PM

It would be great if the 1981 PBS documentary Making M*A*S*H were to be included on the Season Nine DVD set. I vaguely remember seeing this when it aired originally. It would be interesting to see a "making of" from the perspective of when they were actually filming it.

I'm not saying that a newer documentary, like Memories Of M*A*S*H wouldn't be good, but people tend to see things through rose-colored glasses in retrospect.

However, I won't hold my breath waiting for this...the sets so far have been bare bones and I don't expect that'll change.

I had completely forgotten about this thread. Two years to get a reply?? Better late than never.

Unfortunately, the moment has passed for this doc to be included. I would love to have seen it again. All of the actors on the show were still alive then and had fresher insights as to what made the show work.

Thanks! I wish I had been alive to see this doc when it aired!

I started watching M*A*S*H in the summer of 1981 and I came across that documentary on PBS sometime afterwards. Interesting stuff, particularly as they showed the table read and filming an actual episode.

Excellent question! I'd love to get a copy of this on DVD.

I have Making MASH as well as other MASH specials (Memories of MASH, 30th Anniverary reunion and a couple other things). I'm willing to trade. Please email me.
