Site Ideas & Thoughts

[RJ]

I finally got around to writing up a summary of A&E's Biography: Cult TV: M*A*S*H that aired back in 2003. It is the last of the five reunion/documentary specials on M*A*S*H thus far:

• Making M*A*S*H (1980)
  
• Memories of M*A*S*H (1991)
  
• E! TV Tales M*A*S*H (2002)
  
• 30th Anniversary Reunion Special (2002)
  
• A&E's Biography: Cult TV: M*A*S*H (2003)
  

I will be adding this page this week, as well as a new directory page for all the documentaries and reunions. Hopefully that will make it easier to find them, rather than having people looking at the dropdown menu and not knowing what "Memories Of" or "TV Tales" are.

I have also done some minor tweaking in the past few days here and there. I might be adding some new Memorable Moments this week as well. Who knows. But I wanted to get some input on some ideas I have had:

Saying Goodbye To M*A*S*H: a page on the storm of media coverage surrounding the finale back in 1983, with quotes, images and maybe some videos from vintage news clips -- also a list of magazines with cover stories on the finale.

The Best/Most Memorable M*A*S*H Moment: a fan-voted contest that will take us through the rest of the year. Basically, I would make a page with a form for people to fill out listing their favorite single scene from all of M*A*S*H. Perhaps there would be three rounds, each taking a month, and we would go from the top thirty to the top ten to the number one moment, with me counting all the entries and posting them for people to vote on.

Thoughts?

Good ideas with both you're thinking of. I would be quite interested with all of the media artifacts from the finale and I'd be very excited as to what the all-time favorite single scene is from a fan's perspective. I'm all for them.

Sounds like you've got some great ideas there RJ. I think I have a good idea on what the top choices will be in the best M*A*S*H moment.

RJ Thats A Great Idea!

I have been tossing the Best/Most Memorable M*A*S*H Moment idea around in my head and I am thinking of starting it in September and ending it in December, giving us four months. Basically, it would be a month of people submitting their suggestions, followed by two or three tiers of voting. Depending on how many people send in suggestions, of course. Perhaps the first tier would be the top thirty moments, and people would vote, then the second tier would be the top fifteen of those moments, and the final tier would be the top five. Whatever won that tier would be the winner.

It still needs some work, but at least I have a rough start date. September 1st.
