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.

I'm sure most of the cast felt the same for Aldas self righteous hollier than thou character.

He never thought much about you either.

And how many people hated working with him?

Alan Alda is the only person to win an Emmy for writing, acting, directing

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.

Alan Alda was the sour apple of MASH.

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

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.

Some of the best moments in successful films , drama's and comedies have been totally ad libbed,talented actors should always be given a little leeway. MASH with the talent involved, no exception. A really great show, really popular here in the UK.

I wonder how the series would have been if “Rodger Bowen “ the original col. Blake in the M.A.S.H. The movie. His unflappability when confronted with trouble would have made a whole other comedy vibe to the series. Have a great day!

Alda wasn't the easiest person to work with .

Rogers and Farrell were also vets

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.

The politics on a movie set are very different from those on an episodic television show. A movie is largely set in stone once it begins to be filmed. A television show is written week by week and season by season There’s no business like show business.😊❤❤❤

Jackie: her?

The Radar spinoff was only one episode a pilot that didn’t get picked up.

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.

Alan Alda is a bitter old man. It's great. He has become the person he openly despised on the show. What goes around, come around.

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.)

They lost the point that the movie and show was a comedy. When it started getting serious, it wasn’t as good. The quick wit and slaps that comedy was hilarious at first, but Alan and others forgot they had to make you laugh.

Okay. Starting off with a falacy ingenders trust in some circles, i am sure. MASH went off the air as the top show in ots timeslot. It did not wain in popularity. It was a show that ran for 11 seasons, covering a war that onlyblasted for 5 years.

MASH went on way too long, otherwise not bad, considering the quality of broadcasting back then...

You madeup for in, "Same time next year.". So stop so hard on yourself, Honestly, i was 8 10ish yrs old when you mashed it... And i saw though your examples. Simplied what mahority have yet. Yet to find words for. yo Alda, sometimes taki g a second phemaldahyd shit for the day, sometimes helps those. Should have bought an industrial fart fan thoughts stirr, tjat is at least forward movement, Whether one has a three man , air whistler bombs..

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.

No One Cares.
