Tuesday, August 31st, 2004 01:04 amMan I got a lot to say (so to speak)
First off, I watched Major Fred C. Dobbs on Hallmark. I'm shocked! They actually left in the last bit with Hawkeye kissing Frank! I love it how Trapper starts to look annoyed!
I had bought a few things off of ebay, and they both arrived today!!! *SOJ* First off, the movie Jenny from 1970 with ALda and Marlo Thomas. The seller was nice to include a bag of microwave popcorn 0.o...I found that strange. I've only had time to watch about 15 minutes of it so far. I will put up a review when I watch it all, so far it looks good. Oh, and AA asked Jenny if she had heard of a Charles Tuttle!
Second item was The Last Days of MASH book with bonus Newsweek magazine from Feb 28th, 1983. The book is wonderful! Lots of pictures from the last week on the set that Arlene Alda took. She handwrote notes for most of the pictures and Alan commented in, thankfully, typed text. If anyone wants, I will type out some of the stuff he talks about, very interesting and amusing. Besides the pictures (lovely ones they are) there are schedule sheets, a partial storyboard for the movie (drawn in Alan Alda's barely readable writing), paper clippings, press cartoons, and fan letters from important people. A very nice book!! I wish my scanner was working!! *cries*
Oh, and a paper clipping that I want to share from the book (some of you have probably heard about it):
Find M*A*S*H drew loyal flush
Flushed with enthusiasm over the final episode of "M*A*S*H," a million New Yorkers apparently waited until the end of the 2 1/2 hour television show before using the bathroom.
Peter Barrett, spokesman for the city Department of Environmental Protection, said yesterday that the water-flow rate increased by 300 million gallons at 11:03 p.m. on Feb 28, three minutes after the telecast ended. "Engineers who have worked here for 30 or 40 years say they have never seen anything like it before," said Barrett.
He attrubuted the increased flow to intense interest in the show, which was watched by more than 125 million people nationwide.

This story will never cease to amuse and amaze me!
