I used to be a feature reporter...in the big hair, Ron Burgundy days. Here you'll find some of my old stories and rare video of the M*A*S*H set from the final day of shooting. And... there's video of my son, the drummer... who needs a job!
NEVER get caught up in TV fantasy land: In 1996, Morgan was charged with beating his wife. He avoided jail time, and the criminal wife beating charge was dropped in 1997 when he agreed to attend anger management sessions.

Mash je prostě nejlepší televizní podívaná všech dob. Točí se výborné seriály i dnes, ale toto už nevzniká. To je jedinečné dílo. Sleduju to od dětství až po dnes. Mám celé série a sleduji to každý den. Každý den několik dílů. A světe div se, vůbec mě to nepřestalo bavit.

@rossmartenak551710 ай бұрын
First of all, so called "Harry Morgan" wasn't his real name. There was nothing wrong with his actual birth name of Harry Bratsberg. Most likely the change was made as the result of a greedy Studio or Business Manager, with perceived notions of greater recognition accompanied with monetary gains? In reality, it's also shows blatant disrespect for one's parents & their family heritage, just to possibly obtain (not earn) a greater buck?! The ONLY reason a name change should be done, is for a woman when she gets married. If a woman gets married and DOESN'T change her name, then she doesn't accept the sanctity of marriage.

Always interesting how an actor can bring himself into a character without the character being him - such as with the love of classical music. And his privacy seems to have borne out in how he shied away, best I can tell, from all the post-MASH events. There are no clips of him in any of the retrospectives or archives shows commenting on the show or his character or his role in it which I always found odd and a bit disingenuous particularly since he made such a great contribution and the show did so much for him.

Liked the show. Didn’t like the Hunnicut character. He seemed to try too hard to be funny. When his scenes called for him to be upset or mean, he just went too overboard for me. Irritating 🙄. The character seemed to brown nose Hawkeye too much where Trapper was more funny and seemed more real of a character when he sparred with Hawkeye. The BJ character was just off putting to me. Especially loved Winchester! He blended in quite well. I don’t think that Mike Farrell had as much acting experience under his belt as the other cast. That may have been the problem. He just tried to hard. I didn’t like the character at all. Wish Wayne would have stayed. He was more seasoned as an actor and fit the character like a glove. Loved Loretta too! Such a pretty lady. But Klinger and Radar were my favorites! Jamie’s comedic talent was excellent! So was Frank Burns’ talent. Mike, to me, needed more training as an actor. At least that’s how it seemed to me.
