The Official Channel of The Clear and Vivid Podcast With Alan Alda.
Learn to connect better with others in every area of your life. Immerse yourself in spirited conversations with people who know how hard it is, and yet how good it feels, to really connect with other people - whether it’s one person, an audience or a whole country. You'll know many of the people in these conversations - they are luminaries in our culture. Some you may not know. But what links them all is their powerful ability to relate and communicate. It's something we need now more than ever.
All us kids who needed a father figure ,growing up in the 70’s, owe Alan Alda a lot. I grew up in an abusive household. I tuned in every week to keep my sanity. THX!!!! Alan.
Loretta Swit nearly had another hit show-she starred in the pilot to Cagney and Lacy-but alas she was replaced by Sharon Gless in the ensueing tv show.
I can still remember when Hawkeye actually reached into a person's chest and massaged it to resuscitate a person. Something that was not ever really tried in any show to this day. It was so dramatic and had me at the edge of my seat. It made me feel like holding my breath from the tension in the scene.
I'm 42, watched the series as a kid, a teen, and an adult. Mash made me laugh so much over a lifetime but it also made me cry at some episodes. It really knew how to tug on your heartstrings with each and every character.
When BJ showed up this great show went right down the leftist toilet and became moralizing crap. So far removed from the original movie it actually made me sick.
I vividly remember how my dad scolded me when I was playing on a gaming console because he wanted to watch MASH and I wasn't given much of a choice so I watched with him, years passed and I've grown to love watching MASH with my dad and all of my family, then the pandemic happened and MASH is the strongest thing I have of my dad, to remember him as I was as a kid, love the series and I love all of you who made it happened.
Hopefully All (every single person involved) with the 4077 M*A*S*H cast knows how very much I Thank You. Communication, Family, Friends, interactions, smiles, laughter and tears. All were portrayed in the series. I am pretty certain, there are many people, like me, who felt connected and comforted by All your gifts. Thank you ❤
I've been watching MASH with regularity for more than forty years. It's still my series of choice if I'm sitting down to lunch. I keep waiting to get tired of it, but I never do.
I'm 30, was raised by my grandparents and grew up watching M*A*S*H and other classics and I enjoy being able to have been exposed to it I still watch it now and reminiscing the times with my grandparents unfortunately they passed away but this was a treat to discover and come across.
I am 41 years old from Texas. I have been watching MASH my whole life! I watch it from ep1 to the finale about 2 or 3 times a year. When I'm blue, it makes me feel very cozy and warm. Brilliant performances, writing, and you have made something truly great, that will be passed on for many many generations to come. You guys and gals of the 4077 made real LIGHT for the dark world. Thank you!
You are an amazing man. I have loved your work all these years. I started watching you with my dad in the early 80's late 70's... Keep kicking. You are amazing...❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am now 38 years old. I bought the dvd box and saw every episode at least 5 times. It is wonderfull. But the last episode I didn't watch. I want the serie kipping alive. The Fact I don't know the end is keeping the story alive. Thank you for such a great Serie!
Bummer, wish. I could see the whole show here on RU-vid! But am very grateful to these luminaries, for condescending to show this short to us scroller types, here on the ez channel ; ) Love ya always Alan Alda. <3
Mr. Alda spoke at The American Academy of Dramatic Arts when I was there. By far the most humble and talented actor I’ve ever met. He’s in it for the craft, not the fame. My wife and I have been enjoying rewatching the entire series. What a great time it was to be entertained.
I still watch Mash dvr’d every weekday. I’ve seen all the episodes of course since the show was on…but I can’t get enough. I love you all so much. You’re only a few years older than I am…72…and it’s so strange as I’ve grown into seniorhood with you. ❤️❤️❤️
The goodbye scene the last episode. B.j. and Hawkeye saying goodbye... The only one that choked me up more was when radar came in and said that Henry had died. You guys were awesome.
Never underestimate the intelligence of a rock star. Not all of them blow their minds on drugs. Some of them are capable of very deep thought. Brian May is shockingly intelligent, but also very down to earth. Oh yeah, he was also a member of the fantastic band, Queen. My adoration for Alan Alda is absolutely boundless. He has captured my heart from the first episode of MASH, in 1972, to this day, through so many iterations of his amazing career. Clear + Vivid is truly brilliant.
To this day I still watch MASH, been watching since the 1970's when I was very young there were many things, and meanings about the show, and it's characters that I didn't understand, then when I watched as an adult the show took on a new meaning to me, all the humor hidden in such a serious show, and then my life's work put me into the EMS field which was a civilian adaptation of the military medical core. Not the same situation, but still very similar in many ways.. I've carried a little bit of these characters with me throughout my life, and I appreciate all of you so very much, Thank you 💯👍❤️❤️
