79 – Who Played Big Mac?

It’s the question that has plagued man since the dawn of time. (Well, since 1975, anyway.) And now, Jeff & Ryan have the answer! In this episode, you will finally learn the true identity of the mystery actor who played General MacArthur in the season 3 episode “Big Mac.” We also discuss a variety of other topics including the mysterious second medical team, clarinet reeds, the M*A*S*H motion picture, a boy named Hawkeye, MacArthur’s pool table, and Eight is Enough!

78 – Allan Katz!

How did a box of popcorn lead to a job writing for the greatest TV shows of all time? Allan Katz sits down with Jeff & Ryan to discuss the rather unorthodox start of his entertainment career. Allan also talks about writing (and rewriting) with Gene Reynolds, working with the gentleman known as Alan Alda, his wife’s “marriage” to Mike Farrell, and how to produce and star in your first-ever major motion picture! We hope you enjoy our fun & funny conversation with the man known as Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga.

75 – The Smell of Season Six

In this supersized episode, Jeff & Ryan awkwardly recap the sixth season of M*A*S*H… where Jeff relives *that* scene. We also discuss the on-set drama that led to a popular storyline, the actor who almost played BJ, orange grape Nehi, Tom Willis from The Jeffersons, the Triple-Threat known as Ronny Graham, “Counterfeit Igor,” Big Daddy O’Reilly, a hostage situation with a laugh track, and the comic genius of Hamilton Camp. Also, why is Margaret yelling?
