UPDATED MAY 2 2020. VIDEO CAN BE FOUND HERE • A tribute to the stars... I didn't include guest actors. I only included actors in a recurring role or main cast
Because you can't simply replace a video on You tube I can't place an updated video here. You can find it here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uqENCy2HgKg.html
@@janedoe9421 - Actually, I do say. This is the primary reason that I stopped watching the show for a time. It wasn't until Frank burns was replaced by Charles Emerson Winchester III, that I started watching MASH again. By the way, with the departure of Frank, Margaret was portrayed as much more intelligent and as a result, more interesting character.
Still one of the best shows ever produced....... EVER!!!!! Never get tired of watching any of the episodes. Well written, brilliantly acted and some very witty and clever one liners..... Miss all the old actors.
I still watch MASH every weekday at 7 PM to 8 PM two shows and it's still entertains us. Great cast those gone will still be in our hearts forever. The writers were incredible.
The episodes of MASH were aired in 2001 my country. It was the time I lost my father when I was 19 years old. My mother was a house wife , I had a younger sister and brother, both in school. I was responsible for putting food on table. I had to do my studies and educate my sister and brother and work at the same time. Sometime it used to be till 12.30 to 01.00 at night. The loss of my father and responsibility I faced was unbearable. It was at this time MASH was aired at around 11.00 in the night and I used to see watch it when everyone in my family had gone to sleep. It was like a therapy to me. It healed my heart, it forced me to laugh, it gave me confidence. I guess my situation and those people in MASH were not so different, that’s why I instantly got connected. I guess what it thought me was not “Laugh and forget your worries” but “LAUGH AT YOUR WORRIES”. Come on get up Tomorrow is another day.
You are courageous. If I may... I think your Father is proud of your courage and of your wisdom back then as well as your love for your family, where ever he may be.
I didn't know our beloved "Trapper" had left us, (Wayne Rogers). Portrayed a brilliant part and entertained millions. May you Rest in Peace Wayne Rogers.
@@honeybliss1053 I disagree, his over the top character would of worn out really quickly...the small tastes we got were pure gold and he stole every scene he was in.
Amazing to think, many of the cast that are still with us (for the precious time) were the chief staff in the show. Hawkeye (Alan), Margaret (Loretta), Jamie (Klinger), Gary (Radar) and Mike (BJ)
Been binge watching this stuff for a while. I'm 17 and this is my favorite show. They don't make actors, Actresses, and shows like this anymore. This show tops any show made since. I'm so glad it's on Netflix. I even got sad and mad when characters like Lt.Col Henry Blake died and Radar left the show and so forth.
You are so right, I used to watch it when I was your age back in the 70s and to this day cannot watch the newer sitcoms and certainly cannot stomach reality tv... Try watching some 30s, 40s black and white movies too, sometime if you have not already, I guarantee that you will get hooked and know all of the actors by name in no time flat. Especially 1939 which is said to be the best year for great movies ever. And watch Film Noir, their are so awesome! I promise! Take care!
Jacob Miller it's wonderful to hear of a young person enjoying this show. I think M*A*S*H was the best sitcom ever. it was on for 12 years. That tells you how great it was
I'm glad that you liked and enjoyed MASH, it is a great show, I started watching when I was 12 in the early 2000's loved the show even though somethings flew over my head, but now that I'm older I get the stuff that was over my head and I still love the show. Same here about when Radar left, that's the only one that leaves that I've seen, but I'm sure I'd cry over when Henry gets killed off. I heard that he gets killed when he was on his way home, that I felt was really harsh to do that, they should have left it at that of him going home. I would also have to agree with you on today's shows and movies and the quality of acting, there's still plenty of good acting these days though, but the quality of movies and shows are not that great at all, some here and there though, but you still can't compare them to shows like MASH, The Andy Griffith Show, The Odd Couple, Gilligan's Island, The Twilight Zone, MacGyver, Magnum PI, Family Ties, Home Improvement and the list goes on.
It’s one of those Shows that you get so familiar it attached to them when something happens you feels sad like it’s real same way I felt about magnum pi
One of the best, if not the best television shows ever!!! I sure miss watching this show in the good old days, with friends and family that are no longer around.... good memories! :-)
Very nice memoriam ,,music was sentimental,,very suiting,,sad to know they are not with us anymore,,I'm sure many of us fans of the show will think of them once in a while..
M*A•S•H was the most legendary and epic show of my lifetime. I saw Larry Linville in person. The cast, both living and those who have passed away will always be remembered. MASH wasn’t merely about entertainment. We were able to gain a sense of the experience the series taught us, and to learn about life. A gratitude for our military was instilled. I am a USAF veteran.
Thank you for this. It was such a great series that showed the futility and brutality of war. Those gone & those still here did a wonderful job showing it. Thank you to them.
+michael anthony hilario he wasn't the "ONLY" one it was Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) that made the show "FUNNY" as heck even though i really don't like the war or guns either the show aired from: Sept. 17, 1972-------- Feb. 28, 1983.
+michael anthony hilario I loved Trapper's laugh--it was joyous, loony and sexy all at once. A friend said that WAyne Rogers was a way better actor than Alda (who he said 'indicated' a lot--worst thing for an actor) --I won't get into that but to say that Wayne's character probably should have gotten more air time.
Was in my early twenties when this show started, like seeing long lost friends. The power of this show and cast is the fact that it is still being repeated on UK TV.
I loved watching MASH , sitting on the floor next to my mom in "her" chair , those WERE THE DAYS , Carol Burnett , love the 'old' shows the best ! R.I.P. all and thank you !
Thank you for the nice memorial of some of the actors both regular and returning characters. It was moving to hear the music of choice - sad yet pretty. Well done.
I go along with that Ben. The tripe we’re getting on tv now is not worth the electricity. At least Mash didn’t have foul language. I loved it and here in England were watching it yet again. Never get fed up with it. Nice to make your acquaintance.
May they rest in peace for ALL OF THE LAUGHS THEY GAVE US. My Uncle went to school with the woman who played Margaret. He had a signed pic at his Florists [sp] and promised her he would never tell her age. He passed, a man of his word.
Wayne Rogers, who played wisecracking U.S. Army surgeon "Trapper" John McIntyre in the acclaimed Korean War television series "M*A*S*H" before leaving after three seasons in a contract dispute, died on Thursday. He was 82. RIP 12/31/15
So he and Mclean Stevenson left after 3 seasons, that was short lived compared to the 11 seasons. So, Mike Ferrall and Harry Morgan were on the show for about 8 seasons...wow. I did know about Mclean Stevenson leaving though, because which MASH didn't know about it, his final episode was pretty memorable and sad. I've never seen that episode, but have heard about it.
RiP : William Christopher (October 20 1932 - December 31 2016) Father Mulcahy and Wayne Rogers (April 7 1933 - December 31 2015) Captain "Trapper" John McIntyre
just watched this in 2017...I can't believe that the colonel is dead...I mean, even back then he was getting on in years, but still, this show has gained a kind if immortality status in my mind because of how iconic, enjoyable and thought provoking it was. That is not to diminish the deaths of the other mash actors, of course, they were all brilliant at what they did and deserve full credit and honours for their lives.
Well stated. Some people only like the earlier seasons of MASH, but I enjoyed them all. In my opinion, even though the earlier episodes were the most fun, I am glad they dealt with some heavier issues in later seasons. They did a brilliant job of it. Great casting from start to finish.
Definitely. You can really believe that the actors were highly skilled surgeons, nurses, psychologists, etc...you can even believe that the noncoms were actually serving in the war or have served in armed conflict of some sort. Some of the most touching moments for me, though, was when members of other armies found their way to the 4077th, like the episode with the Greeks or Italians, or even with the British, and you'd get to see how soldiers from other countries interact with each othereven if their nations had previously been at war, but are now allied. One of my favourite moments, though, is when "hot lips" mentions the arrival of the Philippines 10th BCT, the "fighting Filipino's" as they came to be called, in Korea, and also when they mentioned the Royal Gloucestershire Regiment, which was a real British regiment that saw a massive amount of combat, but was eventually captured by the Chinese because the UN refused to provide or were unable to provide reinforcement to the 10th BCT who were only 2 km's away from the British position during the battle of yultong. No Filipinos ever made it onto the show, but their memory was remembered well. I'm sorry if I started to ramble on that one, but I'm half British and half Filipino, so as you can imagine, whenever Britons and Filipinos help each other, or try to help each other, I feel a certain amount of pride for both nations...moments like that are rare for me, lolz...
MASH, Archie, The Jeffersons, Fish, Carol Bernette (sp), those were shows with real actors. they put a lot into their parts. they got paid for what they did back then, unlike today where they get paid for who they are.
kathy wholters yep ive just about made it through all the seasons. netflix put up only half at first. i had to wait on them to put up the next batch of seasons (last week finally)
I loved Henry too. My dad got to meet McLean twice and talk to him. He was very nice and down to earth. He said he later had some regrets about leaving the show. He autographed a paper plate for me cause they were at a picnic for Piedmont Airlines, and he was doing their commercials at the time.
Also RIP Wayne Rogers, David Ogden Stiers, William Christopher... I love that show a lot and I respect each and every person that made it appear on my screen: actors, script writers, directors, everyone! Thank you for such a wonderful serial!
When I watch a show, I forget it's been 40 years and the actors are older than what is on the screen. Watching a show it is almost like they've never aged and then I remember that some have passed.
kris helfferich he was not bald and a big guy he was a Japanese actor and had black hair he was on Mash episode in Season 1 Market To Market as Charlie Lee. The bald guy your thinking of his Richard Lee Sung
Larry Linville was the best actor on the series hands down and though the spotlight was always on Alan Alda he never really disappeared into the character. Indeed Linville's Burns was so real that the audience never saw the actor just someone they all knew from the lives or wish they didn't. Not repellant but pathetic, funny yet tragic Linville's portrayal had a pathos at times showing a man that just stepped of a ledge but isn't falling though the ground is rushing at him.
+Richard Mattingly aahhhh,,good o'l ferret face....!....sad thing is,,,all the cast members still alive will be passing on also,,,,they are getting older and as much as we would wish they would stay with us forever,,,time doesn't stop for no one,,,,
+Richard Mattingly well--I half agree--though Frank was basically a one dimensional character--whether it is easier to play such a character (I think not) is up for debate--but I know what you mean-Linvilles comic timing, nuanced playing of a human fink was glorious to behold.
Such a tasteful farewell video, thank you. So sad the people who lived only 60 or so years. Larry Linville was always my favorite, hope he fet some of the joy back from his wonderful acting....
I love this show and all the characters. They all played their rolls so well, in real life these characters would and could actually live and work the way they did on the show. If you had to be in that place and time you would want to be with them.... I used to watch this when I was young with my mom when she was fighting cancer. To this day the opening music to this show takes me right back to our living room and watching the show with my mom. I have purchased the entire series and when I feel down or lost or need comfort "food" TV...I watch MASH. Thanks guys, you have touched many generations........ No Tv shows can compare.....
Wow this makes it a total to date of thirteen actors who have died that were either regulars on MASH or were regular guest stars on MASH who have recently died! God bless them all for giving us great humour over a humourless subject that of WAR. MASH was my favorite show for many years. May they rest in eternal peace.
They spent their lives bringing to light their humour and entertaining their fans. M.A.S.H. gave laughter to the sadness of War just as Hogan's Hero's did. Now they have passed on to make way for their replacements. Thank you all for the years of entertainment that you gave your base.
Man, you can tell you're getting old, when you use to watch shows like this and others and many of the cast now have died. Always loved seeing Col Flagg, he made me smile/laugh, also loved watching Winchester.
My favorite practical joke was on Frank, committed of course by Hawkeye and his side kick. They dug a foxhole in front of their tent, filled it with water and had Radar run the Air Raid Siren. In nothing but his shikvies Frank ran out of the tent and dove into the Foxhole. I NEVER LAUGHED SO HARD IN MY LIFE. MY UNCLE WENT TO SCHOOL WITH WHAT'S HER NAME. HE HAD A SIGNED PHOTO OF HER AT HIS BUSINESS. I ASKED HIM WHAT HER AGE WAS AND HE TOLD ME HE GAVE HIS WORD NOT TO TELL. SO I ASKED HOW OLD HE WAS. THE LOOK HE GAVE ME WAS AS FUNNY AS MASH. THAT SHOW IS AND WILL REMAIN A CLASSIC.
+gutenbird I think what happened is the Charles Emerson Winchester III "David Ogden Stiers" character was maybe more serious than Larry was but it still worked and his character evolved, and was the reason they ended on top of the ratings. And tied in with the B.J. Honeycutt "Mike Farrell" character it worked, and worked for 5 seasons.
Larry Linville was an awesome actor as was Wayne Rogers, the show was not the same without them. I do enjoy Harry Morgan as Sherman Potter and David Ogden Stiers is good, not crazy about Mike Farrell tho. The show wasn't the same without the original cast. Still good, but not as good.
Best TV show of all time. It was a drama mixed with a bit of comedy that made it special, along with the cast of characters that were dealing with the hell that was war. Top notch acting to say the least and light years better than anything on the tube today.
Also actor Timothy Brown (1937-2020), who portrayed Dr. Oliver Harmon "Spearchucker" Jones in season 1. He's also one of four original actors from the 1970 movie to be in the TV sitcom. Also actress Kellye Nakahara (1947-2020), who portrayed Nurse Kealani Kellye.
