About 15 years ago I had about 95% of M*A*S*H recorded off the air on VHS. Somewhere in the middle of doing that, I realized the plot was there but a lot of the gags were missing. Like one episode where somebody put soot in the eyecups of Col Potter's binoculars and turned him into a racoon. I'm watching the ending credits, see Potter and O'Reilly in the jeep with Potter's black eyes, and realized that scene didn't exist in the show I'd recorded, but I remembered it from the first time I saw it in the 1970s. Then my parents started giving me M*A*S*H DVDs for presents, and I noticed my tapes were 22+ minutes long while the DVDs were 25+ minutes. So in 30 years, commercials had increased from about 5 1/2 minutes to 8 1/2 minutes. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
