M*A*S*H

*waits for a mash reboot* (passistheword)

[colonelpotterflippedatdawn]

Picture this...

I’ve been noticing the last couple of years CBS has been into rebooting TV shows or movies. For example, The Odd Couple (though cancelled, was really good), Macgyver, and the upcoming series S.W.A.T.. Don’t get me wrong, a version of M*A*S*H where Alan Alda isn’t Hawkeye Pierce or William Christopher isn’t Father Mulcahy will be quite hard to picture… just hear me out.

I’m not saying in any way, shape or form that a reboot of M*A*S*H could actually work, considering how loved our original cast is. So, why not shake things up a little bit and bring in new characters to mix with the original ones. When I say this, I don’t mean just our front characters like Hawkeye, Radar, Margaret etc., I also want to see more of Baker, Speartrucker, Kellye and more of the characters that weren’t up front.

Now I know what I’m saying is kind of vague. So, now do me a favor and close your eyes…

Metaphorically!

Okay so, a main cast playing the characters of Hawkeye Pierce, BJ Hunnicutt, Margaret Houlihan, Colonel Potter, Janet Baker, Kellye Yamato, Father Mulcahy, Charles Winchester, Radar O’Reilly, Corporal Klinger and Trapper McIntyre. Yes, I did mean to type “Trapper McIntyre” there. 

Here’s how the new version of M*A*S*H would go down, in my head at least. You have a new group of actors playing the original members(stay tuned, I have ideas) and some of our remaining cast playing the families of a few of the main cast members. Think about it, we could actually see their families reactions to letters and packages being sent to them. This version would show Trapper at home, and maybe him constantly contemplating writing Hawkeye, but never knowing what to say. So, yes a version of M*A*S*H that takes place in Korea and in the U.S., and you can’t tell me you never wanted to see Hawkeye’s father actually on screen.

So, I’m gonna try to finish this before EVERYONE who wants to read this rolls their eyes and continues to scroll. I only have a few ideas for the new cast, don’t judge me!

Hawkeye Pierce could be played by Ian Somerhalder

I know it’s not ideal! But if you’ve ever watched The Vampire Diaries, the humor is there.

Now, here’s the deal. My original thought for Alan Alda was for him to play Colonel Potter, but when I actually thought about it, I’d much rather see him play Hawkeye’s father. It would bring him much closer to his original part.

AJ Cook could play Margaret Houlihan

Finally, the only other person I could come up with was Taraji P. Henson to play Baker

Alright guys, thank you for reading this and making it this far. If you can add to this, be my guest! Also, if I’m not the first to come up with something like this, that’s my bad. I’m not quite up to date with everything going on in this fandom. Like I said, if it was to ever happen a reboot might not even work because of how legendary the original was, but let me dream.

Have a nice day, readers <3

I spent literal hours looking through tumblr for this post, and I have some suggestions. The thing about your choices (good ones, though) is that they’re too young. So I propose:

RDJ as Hawkeye Pierce

Sandra Bullock as Margaret Houlihan (it works)

Or Gwyneth Paltrow as Margaret (I’m partial to Pepperony shhh)

TOM HOLLAND AS RADAR O’REILLY (do NOT argue with me on this I am never letting go of it)

Chris Pine as Trapper (same smile, please)

David Harbour as Henry Blake ????

Mark Rylance as Potter

EION BAILEY AS WINCHESTER

Josh Dallas as BJ Hunnicut

That is all. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk

I can’t believe I just saw this but Tom Holland as radar, that’s a masterpiece in itself wksjsk

Trapper

[trapper-john-deactivated2016051]

#trapper keeps his emotions under control#you don’t really see him lose it#he is a great foil to hawkeye for that reason alone#hawkeye can let his emotions about things run away with him#he rants and raves at the universe for its cruelty#and trapper just nods and helps him along#and i love that#plus they’re great at debauching it up#so it’s utterly terrifying to see him like this#and it would have been so interesting if rogers had stuck around#like where they could have gone with this darkness#bc obv he does have some darkness#i’d give anything to see this explored in depth

Millennials should really rediscover MASH en masse. It’s dead on aesthetic for this generation.

[heredayembracesnight]

Please rediscover M*A*S*H fellow millennials. It’s wonderful.

You’ve never experienced sarcasm and rebellion against the System like Hawkeye and Trapper and BJ’s sarcasm and rebellion against the System.
