[@dbuzman]

I don't know about that but I think M.A.S.H. got worse when Alda started directing episodes. He forgot it was a sitcom and made stuff too serious. ETA, I posted before I watched the video so when the narrator said "until it ceased being humorous" I thought that was funny.

[@peterolbrisch8970]

And how many people hated working with him?

[@stephenholmes1036]

I enjoyed seasons 1-4 then it nose dived badly to become the Alan Alda show. Focusing on one character wrecked it and McLean Stevenson left for far better money. He had domestic issues to sort out and the money did that.

I recently interviewed Mike Farrell and he spoke in glowing terms of nearly every cast member.

[@lorenhewitt8279]

I can think that cast members and crew didn’t like his self righteous behavior.

[@moonytheloony6516]

But you don't know that, you're speculating while assuming that if you dislike aspects about Alan Alda then certainly the cast and crew did ass well...which is fallacious thinking on your part...and since the show went on for 11 years and left the air waves on its own, I'm guessing there weren't too many unhappy people on the show, past or present. Seems to me that just about everyone in the show did just fine for themselves, and isn't it amazing that despite the several cast changes, the one constant, Alan Alda, remained and the show kept moving forward...that says a lot about his talent and what the general viewing public thought about M*A*S*H at that time.

I like Mash. It is one of my all-time favorites, but watching now, I like the older episodes with the original cast. It was funny. Larer episodes, especially after Charles came on the scene, became more and more about battling egos, which I don't find to be funny.

[@donnagolder7893]

I always agreed that Alan was attempting to force his personal points of view on the show, which seemed inappropriate as the setting of the Korean War was in a much earlier time. Alda’s views may have been more fitting for the Vietnam War era.

Jackie Cooper the actor who worked as a producer or director on the show. He worked on the show in the earliest years. Lots of time on this spent on stuff you already know.

@@johnmcgreevey7795 Ahhh ok. Thanks so much for answering!

[@jeanandre4023]

It's just a click-bait title. It's all made up or recycled stories about the show and the people who worked on it that you can read elsewhere. Nothing new here. Nothing to see, move along. (most egotistical actors "hate" anyone else who might also be talented and get attention. Everyone can see that Alan Alda is a great character actor , especially in this role as Hawkeye Pierce, but a nice person he isn't. Don't make the mistake of confusing the actor with the roles they play. Some actors who specialize in playing bad guys, thugs, killers are actually the nicest people you'd ever want to meet , and conversely some who play the leads and are presented on screen as the "good guy" are in reality jerks or worse ... the insecurities that drive some actors to be in the spotlight , to be the center of attention , is what makes them "stars" , but it's also a neurosis that causes very toxic behavior in real life.)

Jackie Cooper gave his side of the story in his memoir more than 40 years ago, so it seems only fair to let Alan Alda present his. The laugh track was actually a nice touch, almost humanizing in an ironic way, making the show less self-important.
