#henry blake

This was a neat little life hack until mid March of 1975, when for several days he was the only person in his entire town who had seen 3x24 Abyssinia, Henry.

P*E*A*N*U*T*S for your viewing pleasure! There will be more of these, I'm already working on another with Henry and Radar!

Due to popular request, these are all available on my inprnt :]

hello, everyone! i was able to download and upload the entire series (which was too difficult, holy hell), and it is now available to watch.

i'm also going to upload the series with closed captioning in english and spanish! (si! se habla español.)

please let me know if there are any issues with the uploads. if, god forbid, it's taken down again, i'm very prepared to put it all back up.

if y'all have any suggestions, please leave those as well. (like if you'd like for me to put it on another shared drive, convert it to a different video player, etc.)

One of hundreds of letters sent to CBS after “Abyssinia Henry” aired 50 years ago today on March 18th, 1975. Many of them were from young children.

Last summer I started working on a project with these letters where I tracked down and spoke to many of the children who wrote them (now in their 60s). The project is on hold until I finish this school year, but I leaving cryptic messages on the answering machines of America's boomers resulted in some of the best conversations I've ever had. I'll keep you updated. I chose to share this image as the letter writer is anonymous.

Hawkeye and Henry: the overworked under paid college dean and depressed class clown start drinking at the same bar.

Hawkeye and Margaret: they hate each other's masks so much that all they can do is rip them off and be themselves.

Hawkeye and Radar: what if your inner child saw all the bullshit you got up to and still loved you anyway?

Hawkeye and Klinger: a pair of caged birds trying to pick the lock.

Hawkeye and Charles: Symphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92 / Entrance of the Gladiators Mashup. Beautiful music was made anyway.

Hawkeye and Potter: the soldier that became a doctor and the doctor that became a soldier. The man you never were and the man you'll never be in thirty years meeting somewhere in the middle and shaking hands.

Hawkeye and Frank: American, American't, American-can can you do the can-can?

Hawkeye and Father Mulcahy: God's smile looks something like a punchline.
