At 88, Alan Alda Has Finally Admits How Much He Truly Hated Him..

I always thought Alda was Way over-rated. More silly than funny.

Oh man me to I watch reruns and still cry

Who's Allen Alda? Is that's Alan's father?

He never thought much about you either.

That's a strawman argument which is fallacious reasoning....now try again using your brain.

Certainly not true. He always was generous and rarely selfish.

​@@ralphromeo7066Wayne Rogers might disagree.

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.

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.

I don't know. After awhile I quit watching because i got tired of Alan Alda's need to be the center of everything. ​@moonytheloony6516

nope, his appearance on M*A*S*H was before "American Graffiti".

@@johnbrennan4449 June 26, 1972 start date American Graffit took less then 30 days to film some how they took a year to show it but the mash show was S-01 E-17 Episode aired Jan 28, 1973 Sometimes You Hear the Bullet so he had long filmed American graffit but it did not show till August 1, 1973 if you lived in the right town so yes it did show first but he had already filmed American Graffit

@@jgold2813 TV shows are often filmed months in advance before being shown. actor Barton MacLane passed away on January 1st, 1969, yet his ghost was appearing in new episodes of "I Dream of Jeannie" during March of that year.

I feel the same about you, it wasn't always this way but since you stopped using deodorant...well...let's just say you took things too far. You should be ashamed of yourself.

I’m wondering that too.

Jackie Cooper the actor who worked as a producer or director on the show. He worked on the show in the earliest years. Lots of time on this spent on stuff you already know.

@@johnmcgreevey7795 Ahhh ok. Thanks so much for answering!

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.)

Not that anyone will care, but thank you for sharing!

I prefer the original cast during the first 3 seasons.

Ur stupid... One of the best shows of all time

@@johnbrennan4449 movie version of Hotlips Houlihan, Sally Kellerman was better than Loretta Switt

Nobody gives a crap

The "serious crap" is what made it a good show.

@@kellysaderholm6741 For you, perhaps.

Klinger and Fr Mulcahy

​@@tbrown7662William Christopher wasn't in the first few episodes, another actor played a Priest. Can't remember the name though.

@@MorganOtt-ne1qj George Morgan played Father Mulcahy only in the pilot. I believe Alan Alda and Loretta Swit are the only actors who appeared in both the pilot and the series finale. William Christopher’s first appearance as Mulcahy came in the 3rd episode, and Klinger first appeared in the 4th. Klinger became a series regular in season 4, and Mulcahy in season 5.

Thanks for the info! I knew it wasn't William Christopher in the first few episodes, but I couldn't recall the name! 👍, My friend!

Rodger Bowen couldn't have done a better job as Colonel Blake than McLean Stevenson. nobody could have. I prefer Blake over Potter (Harry Morgan), even though Blake only lasted 3 seasons to Potter's 8.
