In the mid seventies my dad was an american teenager who lived close enough to the northern border that he was able to pick up canadian tv stations. Apparently the canadian station that aired mash ran new episodes a couple days before CBS did, so naturally he took advantage of this to watch new episodes “early.”

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.

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.
