New MASH dvds(re-issues, poor covers)

[MarkO]

I saw seasons 1, 2 and 3 for sale in Walmart, yesterday. Still no
extras, but all new, boring covers. Fox even used a scene from the
pilot for the cover of season 2. It's a shame they didn't do what
was needed to attach extras and to do better jobs on the covers.

What kind of extras are you hoping to get? I'm going to go out on a
limb here and say that the studio has probably long since discarded any
blooper reels that may have existed once upon a time, so really, what
else would there be to put on the DVDs?

Some commentary by cast and crew would cool.

Of course ... since when did he care about the fans enough to do it
for them?

Never, because I have to produce results to earn a living, but how
taxing would it be for the people involved in a situation comedy
produced in the 70's to volunteer a quick audio spot for an ancient
effort?

I mean, come on.

Perhaps Larry values such contributions more than you do. And it is,
after all, his call.

It also occurs to me to wonder how you come by the assumption that
Larry doesn't "have to produce results to earn a living".

....other than all the bloopers I've seen on Youtube, on VHS blooper
collections and ones the film editor has that were not released along
with the tiny amount on the GFA release, the commentary from a couple
of dozen cast or crew from the show, perhaps a sample or 2 of
AfterMASH and W*A*L*T*E*R and the the 1980 special "Making
MASH"....you're absitively right; What else would there be.

I wouldn't be caught within a negro's dream of Walmart, but I couldn't
care less about extras and cover adornments. My question is, did they
include a "PLAY ALL" feature with these new releases?

Yes, God forbid that you have to exercise your finger muscles to press a

Truth Cory, but there are people also in wheelchairs who may have a hard
time pushing a button
over and over.

Agreed. My point in saying what I said was to say, "Don't lump all
wheelchair users together", which is what I felt the poster was doing.
There are varying degrees of disability in every wheelchair user alive.

Talk about wheelchair users. A little horror story.
Raymond Benson was the last writer to pick up the Bond series, after a while
he started naming
Characters after real life folks he knew. The main baddie in his novel

"A High Time to Kill" was named after an associate who later on in real life
was in an auto

incidence which left him a quidrapiance.

That's not the point wiseguy. It's about having the option to run the
content all the way through if we want to, rather than to pick up a
remote every 26 fucking minutes. What's lazy about that? I still have
S2 on three VHS tapes, and because I can run them nonstop, they get
more use than the DVD.

After all, the first 4 seasons are the only ones I recognize, but it
was the trash that came with the "Play All" option. I was only hoping
that if Fox should re-release 1 thru 4, they'd incorporate the
feature.
