When Father Mulcahy was passed over for promotion, Colonel Potter made a phone call to the senior chaplain. While the phone was ringing, Sherm said, "The man answers his own phone. Must be a Unitarian."

I still use that line. Rest in peace, Harry.

We have the entire M*A*S*H series on DVD, and have been re-watching some of them in the last week or so, too.

Watch the early episode where he played a senile general - this was BEFORE Maclean Stevenson left ...

He was a HOOT as a demented old geezer in that episode ...

One of my favorite Harry Morgan parts was from Support Your Local Sheriff. He played the counterpart to James Garner’s smooth talking hustler perfectly.

He was OUTRAGEOUS as Sheriff Slade in the Flim Flam Man with George C. Scott ...

"Mule muffins" and "road apples" sound like they should be on that list also.
