He did a great job with the role. One of my favorite characters.

The whole cast is leaving though but still with us in reruns. A shame the cast did not get syndication income.

My Dad hardly ever sat still to watch TV but he would watch MASH. It was a regular for all of us.

He also played the new doctor in Mayberry who took out Opie’s tonsils.

I hope Father Mulcahy (William Christopher) is the last, and 2017 is full of jocularity, jocularity instead of death.

ITA with every thing you said! We can thank Alan Alda for the political stuff, I believe.

And how William Christopher kept a stern expression through all that astounds me.

I’ve seen the demographics and you’re right. It’s just a function of numbers and age.

I love Fred and Andy too, but how do you survive without the Three Stooges and some Archie Bunker every now and then?
