LOS ANGELES -- William Christopher, the actor best known for playing Fr. Francis Mulcahy on the smash sitcom “MASH,” has died, CBS Los Angeles reports. He was 84.

Christopher’s son confirmed his death to CBS Los Angeles.

The curse started in January with the little-noticed passing of Crackhead Bob.

This makes me sad — I grew up with and love MASH, despite all the political stuff. I still say it’s one of the best written shows ever on TV.

RIP, Francis Mulcahy.

That same guy, in another episode, told McCahey he’d be “preaching in the stockade!”

I keep waiting for a deal on All in the Family at chinamart.
We have the Three Stooges.

Watching the old pre-PC stuff is great.

A few have passed since this photo was taken, four I believe.

"Jocularity! Jocularity!"

Even in that photo Alda drips of self importance. WOrthless scum bag

IIRC, Wayne Rogers passed exactly one year prior to William Christopher, both on December 31.

His jocularities will be missed :-)

I remember that. Powerful.

Same with my dad. He was an Army vet during Korea......but was stationed in France during the time. Never heard him laugh unless M*A*S*H was on.

He started following me on twitter for whatever reason a couple of weeks before he died.

Jocularity? Jocularity?

Rip
Go with God

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

And that other idiot, the guy who replaced Wayne Rogers.

Frankly I only watch the first three seasons of MASH, after Trapper and Col. Blake left, the series became the Alan Alda show and all the left wing stuff that filtered in. I absolutely despised Mike Farrell and his left wing crap, then they let the Clinger character get too much air time. He was a one trick pony that needed no more than one or two minutes of airtime. Then there was Col. Potter, he was too much also. Bottom line was the balance they had in the first three seasons left and it was never the same.

Don’t even get me started on Mike Farrell!
