desolation row.

Todays gonna be good!✨

Oops! Yeah I forgot to post yesterday 😅 and kind of last week too. Life’s been a bit hectic but I guess that’s normal at this point. To deal with the feelings of trying to overcome all my new daily challenges I drew one of my favorite ocs, Average Joe, being the positive lil guy he is. If average joe can do this, so do you! ❤️

“Ghosts aren’t real” it’s very fair and rational that you believe that

“Ghosts aren’t real anymore” I’m about to hear a poem or very sad story

And some choice pictures… the cover was water damaged as it had been stored near the shower, but rest assured that Alan was AARP cover boy.

Many, if not most, MASH diehards dislike the laugh track. DVDs of the episodes are available with the laugh track taken out, a response to viewers’ objections to it that the show received throughout its run. Larry Gelbart himself did not want the series to have canned laughter at all, fought hard against it, and succeeded in having it removed from operating-room scenes only. Eventually, starting in season 4, episodes like “Quo Vadis” and “The Interview” did away with it altogether; by season 11 it was almost gone.

Gelbart is quoted as saying, “The people who defend laugh tracks have no sense of humor.“ Still, watch me defend it (I’m hilarious): as long as it’s integral to the original episode, I enjoy MASH with the laugh track. Certain jokes and sight gags have to make room for it, which might have been annoying to do at the time, but without it you get a shot that’s held too long and feels awkward. Example: Hawkeye at the start of “Crisis” sitting back in his chair in faux outrage, saying, “How do they expect us to fight a war without shuttlecocks?” MASH doesn’t always tell you when to laugh–the jokes are too numerous for that–and the majority of the laughs do come from subtler moments (for me, at least). But I can get into the forced gaiety of a laugh-track gag provided it’s funny.
