Those Were The Days

MASH - S5E21

Ep. 144

We're continuing M*A*S*H month by watching a later season episode, "Movie Tonight." As tensions are building around the base, Colonel Potter decides its time to have some "jocularity" and shows his favorite movie to the troops. This is one of those episodes that functions as a filler to some degree but never phones it in. It's joke after joke after joke for almost the entire runtime. It also gets the cast to showcase some of their many talents. We had a good time with this "more comedy than drama" episode. What did you think?


Next time, Watch M*A*S*H S3E21 - Big Mac - Available on Archive.org or Disney+ in Canada

    We went to the grimy streets of New York City's Eleventh Precinct to hang out with the suave, charasmitic, and righteous Theophilus "Theo" Kojak! He's solving crimes and doing it with style. This procedural cop show ran from 1973 to 1978 and even had a handful of follow up made-for-TV movies that kept Telly Savalas busy. Did our crew like it?
