Amy & I recently finished up rewatching all 11 seasons of M*A*S*H, a task we've actually done many times (that's 251 episodes for those who are counting). We enjoy watching the show and the many ways it reinvented itself over the years with the cast transitions. The nice thing about the DVD releases is that you can watch episodes with the laugh track turned off, which is how the show was aired in the UK. The strong writing is evident without the fake laughing, making it far more enjoyable.
Potterisms on the Bathroom Wall
As we neared the end of the series, Amy took it upon herself to chronicle the various quirky quotes by Colonel Sherman Potter, which she termed as "Potterisms." As has previously befitted our Ticket to Ride scores, these quotes made their way to our bathroom wall, which is coated in chalkboard paint.
Here are a few that made us chuckle:
- Tough patooties
- Buffalo bagels
- Jumpin' Jack Armstrong
- Holy hemostat
- Hold your Fruit of the Looms
- Your hand is shaking like a hula dancer with the hiccups
- Great Caesar salad
- What's buzzing in your bonnet?
- What's chafing your chaps?
- What in the name of Beelzebub is going on?!
- Great logs of Limburger!
- Hot hush puppies!
What are the points in the corner? I see Steve 5, Amy 0?
Karl, that was the start of another one of our game score grids (like we do for Ticket to Ride), for a new game we picked up called "Dominion" (hence the "D"). At the time, I had won 5 games and Amy won 0. This grid has since been expanded to a larger space on the wall.
I'm late to seeing this entry, but I LOVE IT! I had Sherman Potter as my Facebook Profile picture for a while. I love that man. And I love M*A*S*H!
