M*A*S*H and addendum
September 18, 2006

OK, I've got a good one for all those classic sitcom fans. On Nov. 7 (prebook Oct. 11), Fox is bringing out M*A*S*H: The Martinis & Medicine Collection, containing all 11 seasons, plus the 1970 feature film, plus two new bonus discs, plus a retrospectic book created specifically for this DVD set, plus a Hummer. (OK, no Hummer, but you might need one to get this set home.)

The list of special features looks promising with the highlight being the unproduced script of an episode called "Hawkeye On the Double." The menu also offers a blooper reel (always good for a laugh or two), archival interviews, clips and interviews from the last day of filming (get out a hankie), featurettes on "Jocularity" and the fans, a few TV specials, PSAs from the cast and a trivia game. Of course, the shows themselves are the diamonds. The set will list for $199.98, so start kissing up to your rich loved ones now in time for the holidays.

Retailers, how about dressing up your store in camouflage for street date?

Addendum

I'd also like to add something to Friday's post, Anthology Galore. As my husband rightly reminded me this weekend, MGM has already brought out a Rocky Anthology (yes, even with the same name). The five-disc set came out in December 2004 and contained only the movies. So, I guess this new does have the supplements over its predecessor.
