I'm in Tampa, FL.<BR/>I have always enjoyed MASH, Cheers and Frasier and was interested to read your comments about all of them and the other shows you contributed to. <BR/>Keep up the great work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-88966461149254148742008-11-19T18:26:00.000-08:002008-11-19T18:26:00.000-08:00Sorry for posting so late.

Been out of town and have a serious stomachflu now so it took me a while to catch up with your blog.<BR/><BR/>Congrats!<BR/><BR/>I guess you know how long I've been bothering you here and again I came here because Bob mentioned you on TV Squad. Which is funny since I hate everything he writes and love everything that pops up on this page (ok except the American Idol and "Growing up in the 60s" stuff which is still funny but not my cup of tea so I simply skip it) <BR/><BR/>:-)<BR/><BR/>I hope you had your kids around for your birthday and have the totally selfish wish of you staying around for at least another couple of decades.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01936042470523695383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-25138370639477125432008-11-17T16:13:00.000-08:002008-11-17T16:13:00.000-08:00I'm writing from St. Louis (keep throwing in those...I'm writing from St. Louis (keep throwing in those references to Lambert Airport!), although I lived in L. A. for five years, late '70s/early '80s, so at least I can get the jokes based on Valley geography.<BR/><BR/>I've been trying to remember where I first saw reference to your weblog, but I just can't, although I'm sure the phrase "Ken Levine, writer for <I>M*A*S*H</I>" was involved. In turn, I've recommended you both in correspondence and in my own (much less regular than yours) on LiveJournal, including <A HREF="http://davidkevin.livejournal.com/310935.html" REL="nofollow">an entry specifically recommending</A> yours and <A HREF="http://www.newsfromme.com" REL="nofollow">Mark Evanier's</A> as good sources of information about the unfortunate reality behind the WGA strike.<BR/><BR/>Ever since my late dad brought home a copy for me of <I>The Making of STAR TREK</I> from the paperback rack of his drugstore in 1968, I've been a credits reader, fascinated by the hard, creative work done by the people who never get on camera but without whom the shows and films wouldn't exist. (One of my favorite memories is having a private conversation with Gene Roddenberry and getting to tell him just how important his writing was to this particular lonely, discontented teen-ager in the midwest -- I know by far that I wasn't the only discontented teen whose emotional survival he enabled, but not many of us got the chance to tell him in person.)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I admire the craft and effort you put into your own work, and enjoy the atmosphere here. Best wishes to you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-34368054542666987052008-11-15T20:14:00.000-08:002008-11-15T20:14:00.000-08:00Sorry I didn't get to you earlier, but I've been h...Sorry I didn't get to you earlier, but I've been having some problems with my computer at home.

I live in NYC and work at an Off Broadway theater. I absolutely love your behind-the-scenes stories. I read mostly at work, so I often can't watch the videos you post along with your stories (and then forget to log in at home and watch them), but as a big tv fan, I love knowing what was happening in the writer's room or on the set or what changes happened in the script.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02239086941985919886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-24226678231465075592008-11-13T11:10:00.000-08:002008-11-13T11:10:00.000-08:00I just learned of this blog recently, via a politi...I just learned of this blog recently, via a political discussion list.

As a media member myself, its good to have your insight of what happens in your level as well. I've always wanted to know what really happened in the writers room or on the set around taping, since that's what I'm familiar with. <BR/><BR/>Please keep on typing for the next goal, a spot on VH1's Best Week Ever.

I like everything that you write about TV, especially things that give more of a "behind the scenes" perspective. I like to know how things work, especially things I enjoy- like television. I don't love the sports stuff but that has nothing to do with the way you write it, I just don't like to read about sports. I'm glad that you "have" to write because I enjoy your blog.GirlFridayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905857419293669395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-74883339869698797572008-11-13T06:21:00.000-08:002008-11-13T06:21:00.000-08:00Happy anniversary!

I've been mostly a lurker for a couple of years since following a link from Hoffmania, but I did ask a question once about backward xrays in medical shows. My husband and I were big fans of MASH, Cheers and Frasier. I love the behind-the-scenes information about the shows. I also like to write so I enjoy your stories about the process. I like knowing that I can find a new post every day. Thanks for keeping up the blog! Will you ever resume writing about writers?
