MASH 4077 Podcast

[JT]

I'm watching the old shows now in preperation for your podcast.  I can't wait! Wish I could help.  If you need any episodes just let me know.  BTW I don't think you should go in order with the MASH podcast.  Just skip around to the episodes you like most.  You could spend years doing that podcast.  If you need a fill in maybe I can help.  Anyway I can't wait to here your thoughts on Alien Nation!(I love that you use clips from the show in your podcast)

Cheers JT. Fr my point of view I live doing the shows in order, yes it's goi g to take time but as we record 6 episodes in a row for us its easy to do ( well not for kenny he has to produce it). Plus we're recording Mash series 2 soon so we only into ten remaining series so it wont take that long. Plus as a bonus i could record with Kenny & Al all day long its way to much fun ropping into each other.

We do a swamp cast everynow and again so please, JT send us a email & we'll read it out. :)

Today we cover Season 1, Episode #21 - Sticky Wicket
Directed by Don Weis
Written by Richard Baer
Production code J321
Original air date March 4, 1973

Set during the Korean War in the 1950's

Plot Summary: The episode opens in a poker game. When it's interrupted by surgery, Hawkeye and Margaret operate on a patient and the former insults Frank. However, Hawkeye's patient fails to improve after surgery. Hawkeye becomes overly concerned with the case, to the point of attacking Frank over comments at lunch, falling asleep in Post-Op, snapping at Trapper for playing poker too loudly, and moving out of the Swamp to the supply tent. While Hawkeye retreats to the Supply Tent to reflect on the case, he is interrupted by his date (whom he turns away), Trapper (whom he turns away as well), two other soldiers, and Henry. Henry implies that Hawkeye is concerned more about his ego than about his patient. Hawkeye returns with a glib remark about Henry's intelligence, which ultimately insults Henry and allows Hawkeye some peace and quiet. While pondering the case outside the Supply Tent, Hawkeye encounters Margaret and she theorizes that they made a mistake in the surgery, eliciting extreme doubt from Hawkeye, who in turn insults her. During the night, Hawkeye has an epiphany and reopens the patient to find a small piece of shrapnel damage behind the sigmoid colon, at which point Frank states, "Anybody could have missed that."Hawkeye responds with a sincere "Thanks, Frank."

Oh and be SURE to stick around for the bloopers at the end! THE best EVER!!!

[Geekyfanboy]

A sad day for MASH fans.

Pulled this story from the LA Times, you can read the original story http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/08/arts/television/harry-morgan-mash-and-dragnet-actor-dies-at-96.html?_r=1&hpw

Harry Morgan, the prolific character actor best known for playing the acerbic but kindly Colonel Potter in the long-running television series "M*A*S*H," died Wednesday morning at his home in Los Angeles. He was 96. His son Charles confirmed his death.

In more than 100 movies, Mr. Morgan played Western bad guys, characters with names like Rocky and Shorty, loyal sidekicks, judges, sheriffs, soldiers, thugs and police chiefs.

On television, he played Officer Bill Gannon with a phlegmatic but light touch to Jack Webb's always-by-the-book Sgt. Joe Friday in the updated "Dragnet," from 1967 to 1970. He starred as Pete Porter, a harried husband, in the situation comedy "Pete and Gladys" (1960-62), reprising a role he had played on "December Bride" (1954-59). He was also a regular on "The Richard Boone Show" (1963-64), "Kentucky Jones" (1964-65), "The D.A." (1971-72), "Hec Ramsey" (1972-74) and "Blacke's Magic" (1986).

But to many fans he was first and foremost Col. Sherman T. Potter, commander of the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital unit in Korea. With a wry smile, flat voice and sharp humor, Mr. Morgan played Colonel Potter from 1975 to 1983, when "M*A*S*H" went off the air. He replaced McLean Stevenson, who had quit the series, moving into the role on the strength of his performance as a crazed major general in an early episode.

In an interview for the Archive of American Television, Mr. Morgan said of his "M*A*S*H" character: "He was firm. He was a good officer and he had a good sense of humor. I think it's the best part I ever had." Colonel Potter's office had several personal touches. The picture on his desk was of Mr. Morgan's wife, Eileen Detchon. To relax, the colonel liked to paint and look after his horse, Sophie — a sort of inside joke, since the real Harry Morgan raised quarter horses on a ranch in Santa Rosa. Sophie, to whom Colonel Potter says goodbye in the final episode, was Mr. Morgan's own horse.

In 1980 his Colonel Potter earned him an Emmy Award as best supporting actor in a comedy series. During the shooting of the series' final episode, he was asked about his feelings. "Sadness and an aching heart," he replied

After moving to California in 1942, he was spotted by a talent scout in a Santa Barbara stock company's production of William Saroyan's one-act play "Hello Out There." Signing a contract with 20th Century Fox, he originally used the screen name Henry Morgan, but changed Henry to Harry in the 1950s to avoid confusion with the radio and television humorist Henry Morgan.

Mr. Morgan attracted attention almost immediately. In "The Ox-Bow Incident" (1943), which starred Henry Fonda, he was praised for his portrayal of a drifter caught up in a lynching in a Western town. Reviewing "A Bell for Adano" (1945), based on John Hersey's novel about the Army in a liberated Italian town, Bosley Crowther wrote in The New York Times that Mr. Morgan was "crude and amusing as the captain of M.P.'s."

He went on to appear in "All My Sons" (1948), based on the Arthur Miller play, with Edward G. Robinson and Burt Lancaster; "The Big Clock" (1948), in which he played a silent, menacing bodyguard to Charles Laughton; "Yellow Sky" (1949), with Gregory Peck and Anne Baxter; and the critically praised western "High Noon" (1952), with Gary Cooper. Among his other notable films were "The Teahouse of the August Moon" (1956), with Marlon Brando and Glenn Ford, and "Inherit the Wind" (1960), with Spencer Tracy and Fredric March, in which he played a small-town Tennessee judge hearing arguments about evolution in the fictionalized version of the Scopes "monkey trial." In "How the West Was Won" (1962), he played Gen. Ulysses S. Grant.

After a personable performance as Glenn Miller's pianist, Chummy MacGregor, in "The Glenn Miller Story" (1954), starring James Stewart, he often played softer characters as well as his trademark hard-bitten tough guys. There were eventually a number of comedies on his résumé, among them "John Goldfarb, Please Come Home" (1965), with Shirley MacLaine and Peter Ustinov; "The Flim-Flam Man" (1967), with George C. Scott; "Support Your Local Sheriff!" (1969), with James Garner and Walter Brennan; and "The Apple Dumpling Gang" (1975), a Disney movie with Tim Conway and Don Knotts.

He returned as Bill Gannon, by now promoted to captain, in the 1987 movie "Dragnet," a comedy remake of the series starring Dan Aykroyd and Tom Hanks.

Mr. Morgan's television credits were prodigious. He once estimated that in one show or another, he was seen in prime time for 35 straight years. Regarded as one of the busiest actors in the medium, he had continuing roles in at least 10 series, which, combined with his guest appearances, amounted to hundreds of episodes. He reprised the role of Sherman Potter in "AfterMASH" (1983-85), a short-lived spinoff.

Among the later shows on which he appeared as a guest star were "The Love Boat, " "3rd Rock From the Sun," "You Can't Take It With You," "Murder, She Wrote" and "The Jeff Foxworthy Show."

Mr. Morgan's first wife, Eileen Detchon, died in 1985 after 45 years of marriage. He is survived by his wife, Barbara Bushman, whom he married in 1986; three sons from his first marriage, Christopher, Charles and Paul; and eight grandchildren. A fourth son, Daniel, died in 1989. Mr. Morgan lived in the Brentwood section of Los Angeles.

His son Charles, a lawyer in Los Angeles, said in a telephone interview that he would marvel at his father's photographic memory. "My dad would read a script the way somebody else would read Time magazine and put it down and be on the set the next day," he said.

But Harry Morgan never sat as a guest on a talk show, Charles Morgan said ; it did not seem appropriate or necessary. "Appearing on a talk show to focus on himself because he was Harry Morgan," he said, "was not nearly as natural as appearing in a role as Pete Porter or Bill Gannon or Colonel Potter, or as the cowboy drifter who wandered into town with Henry Fonda and got wrapped up in a vigilante brigade in 'Ox-Bow Incident.' "

I had no idea he was even still with us! He was so great as that character, I loved him like a distant Grandfather.
