Great actor, great part.

We never missed MASH. Even my Dad who was confirmedly against most all TV shows would take time to sit down with us to watch MASH... even the Re-runs when we got older.

Alda was a bleeding heart and pushed the script over the top often to make some “war is hell” point but almost all the other actors and characters were outstanding. The supporting roles were often better than the stars.

I enjoyed M*A*S*H for years and part of it was to get a feel of what my father, a Korean War vet, possibly endured since he usually kept his experiences internal. Not so much the dialogue, but issues such as the weather conditions. Some episodes have become unwatchable (i.e. one where Hawkeye gets humiliated by a visiting nurse/doctor) but others remain memorable (Frank singing in the tent “I'd like to take a scalpel and stab them in the heart...”).

I couldn’t stand BJ Honeycutt. Trapper was my favorite.
