"Hawkeye"
Season 4, Episode 18
Written by: Larry Gelbart & Simon Muntner
Directed by: Larry Gelbart
Air Date: January 13, 1976

Probably the hardest episode to do a podcast on. Ethan and Anthony discuss the one man show episode featuring Alan Alda. There is no doubt that Alda is capable of acting solo, but was it the right choice? Was it a successful experiment or a waste of celluloid? It probably comes down to how much you like Alan Alda and Hawkeye.

DISCLAIMER:

It felt wrong to release this episode without addressing the elephant in the room with all of us. This was the first episode recorded after the death of Renee Good and was being edited when Alex Pretti was killed in Minnesota. The first 15 minutes of this episode is a bit of a cold open of Ethan and Anthony venting, followed by some additional comments by Anthony from the edit bay. If that does not interest you, we understand. The regular episode begins at 15:30. Thank you for your viewership. We will get through this together.

M*U*S*H*

Anthony and Ethan force themselves to sit and suffer through the animated monstrosity that is M*U*S*H*, an animated lampoon of M*A*S*H that aired VERY briefly in late 1975. Produced by Filmation, you would expect it to have some of the charm and fun of its other productions like He-Man and the DC Animated shows... You would be wrong.

We have reached the end of Season 3 and the first "phase" of MASH. Anthony, Ethan, Mike, Bellacissa, ChiefsMASH, and The MASH Historian dive into all aspects of Henry Blake's/McLean Stevenson's departure from the show. The build-up, behind-the-scenes moments, changes to the script, the gut punch ending and the audience reactions. We also talked for a while about the future of MASH, the Pros and Cons of the cast changes, and our excitement for season 4! We hope you enjoy our longest show yet!

A special thank you to Our Guests for their time, especially The MASH Historian...
