At the flea market this weekend I found this Dec. 1975 tv guide from local Long Island newspaper Newsday. I just love to see what tv looked like before cable.
There is a description of M.A.S.H. that I will highlight in another photo where the surgeons “suffer through a long night of wintrey night punctuated by a rash of difficult surgical cases and unsettling artillery fire…” Doesn’t that seem like a description over EVERY episode of M.A.S.H that you have ever seen? Maybe in some episodes its too hot with unsettling artillery fire or the surgeons try to take some R&R but get interrupted by unsettling artillery fire but they are all the same and all great.
I do not know who kept this tv guide insert from a newspaper for 35 years, but I am thankful that they did. Now we can enjoy the fruits of their neurosis.
