I watched every episode when it first aired. Again years later(every episode) and am now (me being only a few years older than Gary Burghoff is now) am watching it one more time. I'm near the end of season 8. Came across this Memoriam. Brings a tear to my eyes watching. Like looking at pictures of family that has passed away.Looking at all the trivia I can find and some books. I've had a o poster of the last group in my house.. Makes me smile every time I look up at it. Thanks David.
It's good to remember and appreciate them, but I don't see why it should be a "shame" that people die. Plenty of them were pretty old, it was just their time.
What a memorable cast! The names may be forgotten but their faces NEVER! One of the best American TV shows ever - still in replays around our satellite-fed world.
I'm watching an episode on right now that was made in 1972,I was only 12 and we didn't watch Mash. I didn't watch it till many years later. Unbelievable how fast time has gone by.
always loved Col Henry Blake's speech to Hawkeye after he had to let his friend die ...... What they taught him in command school ...in war there are two rules ......rule number one people die .......and rule number two is that doctors can't change rule number one !!!
@@kimiisungstartedthekoreanw2771 Do you comment this on everything related to Korea? See yourself as some 'truth-speaker', educator of the masses? get a life man. Nobody cares. Besides, MASH never DENIED North Korea started the war. Most American shows about war glorify American involvement, at least this show gave a more neutral view. It doesn't matter who started what anyway, as MASH tried to show: all wars are hell. Soldiers get sold a dream only to be shot up endlessly over matters of greed and pride.
She was in the pilot for ER (a comedy, not the more famous ER. George Clooney was in both of them and Jason Alexander played the hospital administrator).
Also missing from this moving tribute, Canadian actor Leslie Nielsen, February 1926 -- November 2010. He portrayed Col. Buzz Brighton in the 1973 episode, "The Ringbanger".
I played on a record by a songwriter named James Haymer who is Johnny Haymer’s son. James had quite a few really nice stories about his dad. From what I gathered, he was a wonderful man.
He was my favorite. That curly blond hair and that crooked smile. And he was really built too, that son of a gun. There he was out of uniform, unshaven, no sirs, no salute, no nothing.
Sad to see half the cast gone, even though it was filmed in the 1970's - early 80's. But yes, being the most recent, David (Charles) should have been at the end. Pretty sure Alan, (Hawkeye), Jamie Farr (Klinger) and Loretta (Margaret) are the three surviving originals.
Царствие Небесное!!! Таких Актеров, к сожалению, скорее всего, уже не будет... Настоящих, проживающих жизнь своего героя, не полагающихся на спецэффекты. Думаю, что Станиславский сказал бы каждому из них: "ВЕРЮ!!!" Мы всегда будем Вас помнить!!!!!
2016 death was working overtime on celebrities. Just when I thought we were gonna get out without losing anyone else. Then William Christopher went. Broke my heart.
I remember 2016 was the worst year for performers, a lot of them died that year. I remember that on the last day of 2016 i looked at my phone and got a notification that William Christopher had passed away around two hours before midnight. My only thought was "Really 2016? You're almost over and you still had to take one more didn't you.
You get notifications of relatively unknown actors passing away? Or do you have some "Which MASH actors died when" app? Kind of a depressing thing to focus your time on at new years eve.
Some others we've lost - Timothy Brown (Capt. Oliver Harmon 'Spearchucker' Jones) Died 2020 Roy Goldman (Roy) Died 2009 John Orchard (Capt. 'Ugly John' Black) Died 2009 Marcia Strassman (Nurse Margie Cutler) Died 2014
Yes, Marcia Strassman omitted, plus John Ritter, Pat Hingle, George Lindsey, Clete Roberts, Larry Gelbart, and from the movie Roger Bowen who died the same week as McLean Stevenson who played the same role, and Robert Altman and Ring Lardner Jr.
@@kyleshipps1298 I cracked up, when I heard that . . . so did all the other dorm Airmen who watched this scene, from our dayroom TV. Not one empty seat . . . . in the dayroom !
