As a conservative person, MASH speaks to common sense and humaneness (is there such a word? I guess there is, since my ever-watchful computer isn't putting in anything to correct me). I think MASH's humane quality is why my mother adored the show, and why millions still do love it.

There is a 1953 film about life in a MASH, called "Battle Circus". In many ways, it's a very moving story. I think anyone who likes M*A*S*H will like Battle Circus, too.

Still the best!

About 15 years after this, I saw a revival of the play The Odd Couple starring Jamie Farr and William Christopher. It was a great thrill to be so physically close to these actors I had admired for years.

Remember when TV used to be good without being vulgar?

I LOVED watching MASH. STILL Do. Growing up it was so exciting when it would come on at 1030pm. I wasn't supposed to be up watching it but if I "behaved" I was awarded with the privilege. ❤❤❤❤

He was one of my favorites on M.A.S.H.

NEVER get caught up in TV fantasy land: In 1996, Morgan was charged with beating his wife. He avoided jail time, and the criminal wife beating charge was dropped in 1997 when he agreed to attend anger management sessions.

Who ever made the comment the others were better than the first THEY ALL WERE GREAT😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Mash je prostě nejlepší televizní podívaná všech dob. Točí se výborné seriály i dnes, ale toto už nevzniká. To je jedinečné dílo. Sleduju to od dětství až po dnes. Mám celé série a sleduji to každý den. Každý den několik dílů. A světe div se, vůbec mě to nepřestalo bavit.

The absolute worst actor on MASH.

Seriously, some lady had to blow her nose in the middle of his speech.

Winchester killed that show for me. What a god-awful character.

The show was brilliant right to the end Alan Alda will always be Hawkeye he owned the part handsome guy ❤

Then he went and did that bullshit "After Mash"

First of all, so called "Harry Morgan" wasn't his real name. There was nothing wrong with his actual birth name of Harry Bratsberg. Most likely the change was made as the result of a greedy Studio or Business Manager, with perceived notions of greater recognition accompanied with monetary gains? In reality, it's also shows blatant disrespect for one's parents & their family heritage, just to possibly obtain (not earn) a greater buck?! The ONLY reason a name change should be done, is for a woman when she gets married. If a woman gets married and DOESN'T change her name, then she doesn't accept the sanctity of marriage.

Fun fact the final episode Goodbye farewell and amen wasn't tge final episode that was aired

Charles was a way more layered character than Frank Burns,and a much better fit. No fault to Larry Linville though,he worked with what they gave him.

Greatest show EVER!

Well someone’s experiencing chronic burnout

The show had become long in the tooth by this time. Writers were running out of fresh ideas.

Best show ever.

RIP David Ogden Stiers

Irreplaceable Alan Alda 💞 you

Love you Alan 💖 Alda

Irreplaceable Alan ❤️

why is winchester talking so weird???

I love that they all wore their fatigues for the press conference. Thanks so much for saving and posting these clips!

He killed a man in a bar fight with his bare hands

I watch M*A*S*H each night. And I have all 11 seasons on DVD. Harry Morgan was a perfect fit. So we're David Ogden Stiers and Mike Farrell.

I cant get used to him not having a accent

Mr.Stiers not only speaks witty and intelligently..he also talks to the press in his normal voice.

Always interesting how an actor can bring himself into a character without the character being him - such as with the love of classical music. And his privacy seems to have borne out in how he shied away, best I can tell, from all the post-MASH events. There are no clips of him in any of the retrospectives or archives shows commenting on the show or his character or his role in it which I always found odd and a bit disingenuous particularly since he made such a great contribution and the show did so much for him.

I never knew this existed! Thank you!

Through the 11 years Hot Lips became Margaret and then Loretta. A lovely woman and a fine actress who took a difficult one dimensional 'sex pot' role and turned it into a great character of depth.

Mike is the actor's name, so put "B.J." in parentheses.

"He walked in, said the lines and walked out of there with our hearts and took them home with him." Alan Alda (as told by Mike Farrell) on Harry Morgan's first table read as Col. Potter.

Klinger and Winchester were my favorites!

Brilliant actor! Love you Alan Alda 💟

Hearing him without the Boston accent was strange.

So well said.

Didn’t realize how cute Christopher was.

Liked the show. Didn’t like the Hunnicut character. He seemed to try too hard to be funny. When his scenes called for him to be upset or mean, he just went too overboard for me. Irritating 🙄. The character seemed to brown nose Hawkeye too much where Trapper was more funny and seemed more real of a character when he sparred with Hawkeye. The BJ character was just off putting to me. Especially loved Winchester! He blended in quite well. I don’t think that Mike Farrell had as much acting experience under his belt as the other cast. That may have been the problem. He just tried to hard. I didn’t like the character at all. Wish Wayne would have stayed. He was more seasoned as an actor and fit the character like a glove. Loved Loretta too! Such a pretty lady. But Klinger and Radar were my favorites! Jamie’s comedic talent was excellent! So was Frank Burns’ talent. Mike, to me, needed more training as an actor. At least that’s how it seemed to me.

Rest In Peace David Ogden Stiers

The best TV show to grace the airwaves!

I watched Harry Morgan on December Bride mid 50s

Agreed

I watched M.A.S.H as a kid and every time I watch it now it brings back warm memories of my childhood; laughing with my Dad and my Grand Dad. You don't find this kind of humor any more.

All of the replacements made the show so much better. BJ, Winchester, Potter.... all superior characters in comparison to Trapper, Burns and Blake.

I was five when this went off the air. I remember crying in March ‘83. Like losing family members all at once. Love this show and the characters associated with it. 😢❤️
