It's a shame that there are so many errors in this!!!! Larry Linville played Frank Burns, and Loretta Swit is still alive!! It would be nice if someone who had actually watched or at least seen the show would have done this video, maybe there wouldn't be so many glaring errors!!!
Agreed - there are so many glaring errors. Major Winchester never had an office with a piano in the background. The piano was in the officers' club. Winchester did attempt to play it. William Christopher did play the piano in several episodes; don't know if he could actually play the piano, however. Radar was never a nurse; he was the company clerk. These are just a few of the huge errors.
They also showed William Christopher while calling him Harry Morgan, and saying that Harry Morgan was shown several times playing the piano....when Morgan was NEVER shown playing the piano, whereas FATHER MUCAHY was; who was played by WILLIAM CHRISTOPHER. JEEZ these people are idiots.
Google indicates that Alan Alda was diagnosed with Parkinsons, not prostate cancer. And Larry Linville (Frank Burns) left the show because he felt that he'd done as much as he could with the character. He was one of the nicest people on the cast.
His Parkinson's diagnosis was rather recent (2015), and would not have affected the MASH crew on set as the show had been off the air for over 30 years at that point.
Frank Burns and Percy Wetmore are the two most talented actors to play villains in modern times.I truly hated both and forgot sometimes they were just characters.Terrible ending when Frank got promoted and sent home.Much better when Percy Wetmore's cheese slid off his cracker and he left Shawshank Prison for Briar Ridge Nervous Hospital.
Yes I agree, Larry Linville was actually quite smart and a great guy, go look up Radars interview talking about the people who played on mash. He gives a glowing insight to what the actor was like.
Your need to work on validating your research before producing a video. You had so many errors in this video with incorrect names, incorrect character information and incorrect facts throughout the entire video. M.A.S.H. is a tremendous TV series and deserves to be given respect and a proper presentation when publishing a video overview or informational video about it.
I have Hulu mainly because they have all the MASH episodes. I have seen them all, but it is the first 3 seasons with Stevenson that I watch over and over.... I never saw him in anything but MASH, so I couldn't say how good or bad he was an actor, but his Henry Blake is possibly my favorite character from ANY TV show or movie.
@@EricThompson1965 Yes. his Henry Blake was an amusingly (?) affable, complacent, low key, lackadaisical contrast to Harry Morgan's methodically, briskly conscientious Colonel Potter. Thus at the end of Blake's story arc, it was a huge shock to viewers and his Mash colleagues when the helicopter taking him to his plane for the States crashed, killing all aboard. Not a dry eye at that tragic incident.
I am a huge MASH fan. I have never heard or read anything about Alda disliking any cast member. But mentioning animosity, real or otherwise, between beloved characters from beloved TV shows grabs our attention... and makes the creator money
Klinger's home town was TOLEDO! He always said it was TOLEDO, it was constantly referenced, constantly repeated, and was well known to anyone who actually watched the damn show. There are constant references in this video to actors, by name, while showing photographs of other actors (as an example; Sally Kellerman being shown as Lorretta Swit). These people didn't actually do any research on this; they made it up as they went.
Because Jamie Farr Who Played Klinger. Said In Interview He Was Born Raised In Toledo Ohio So Thats How They Came Up With Where His Character Came Up As Far As Mclean Stevenson Portrayal Of Col Blake Alan Alda No Disrespect I Like The Show But He Shouldn't Talk Easy Too Criticize Co Star When Not Here Defend Himself Not That Its Matters But He's Not Clint Eastwood ( If Someone Told Him That Had Probably Be Angrier Like I Know Better Because Clint Eastwood Republican And Waited Years To Get His Movie Awards ( Precognition) Alan Alda And These Liberal Hollywood People Need Humility Put In Them Make Them Realize Life Is Not Easy Not Saying They Don't Deserve Anything For There Work But These Day's They Think We The General Public Owe Them Something Yet Without People Watching There TV Or Movies They'd Be Nowhere Without Viewers
Yeah ... its interesting .... in a cynical kinda way ........ and yeah Klinger was from Toledo ...... in fact in some episodes you will see him wearing a sweatshirt that says "Mudhens" on it ....... that is the farm club for the Detroit Tigers , and the Toledo Mudhens are based out of Toledo.
*Major* Hoolihan didn't die, she was in almost every episode; Winchester didn't have an office; Radar left the show before season 9; Burns left the show because he thought his character's arc was through.
Loretta Swit was the only of main cast besides Alan Alda who appeared in every episode although Swit missed a few episodes in 11 seasons where Alda was in every episode.
So many mistakes - Larry Linville played Burns, Radar was not a nurse, and Loretta Swit, not Swift, is still alive. Sally Kellerman, who played Hot Lips in the movie, died this spring. Klinger was from Toledo. And others - it's like you were talking about a different show.
It's kinda weird that Radar's Teddy bear was named after Oliver North due to the Iran Contra Affair, since the show ran from 1971 to 1983, and Iran Contra wasn't until 1985.
They showed a picture of William Christopher and cslled him Harry Morgan and identifued Larry Linville as Kevin Dobson and many other mistakes, what a SLOPPY JOB !!!
Wow.... You'd like to think that someone would do their research before putting this video together. Larry Linville played Frank Burns. Not Kevin Dobson as stated in this video. Loretta Swit did not die as claimed in this video. She is very much still alive. Whomever is responsible for the information in this 5-cent production should be ashamed of all of these lies, and incorrect information. Poor choices and even shittier information on a fantastic show and cast.
Stevenson however you want to rate him as an actor, played his character real well to say the least. Funny and very likable. This video is a good example to take videos from the university of TH-cam with a big grain of salt. There's so many errors that they must of made them purpose just to bait us.
Lotta bad info... See below. Also, the theme song, "Suicide is Painless" from Wiki: "Director Robert Altman had two stipulations about the song for composer Johnny Mandel: it had to be called "Suicide Is Painless" and it had to be the "stupidest song ever written".[2] Altman attempted to write the lyric himself, but, upon finding it too difficult for his "45-year-old brain" to write something "stupid" enough,[3] he gave the task to his 15-year-old-son Michael, who reportedly wrote the lyrics in five minutes." The movie came out in 1970. 12 years to write...? Makes it 1958. Inspired by son serving in Vietnam. US did not intervene until 1964. An F for Faulty Facts.

This article is an embarrassment!!! I wonder how they could release such errors. I am also a MASH fanatic, and still watch reruns at least 30 times each! Nmy favorite character was Klinger!!!❤
Mulchahey was my favourite! Actually my favourite line was when Hoolihan was talking too much about her new engagement and Burns was genuinely upset by her callous behaviour. When he mentions he might take out a particular nurse and she says “isn’t she a bit young” and he responds “I thought it would make a good change”.. it’s really the only time you can like the Burns character!
Yeah.. Larry Linville mustn't have thought that was a good idea cause he left saying the character had no where to go.. obviously didn't want to go down the path of changing.. sorta glad he didn't. Margaret did.. her big change came when she broke down with the nurses saying how she always felt left out.
Ditto to all the criticisms. MASH was an absolutely outstanding show, and deserves much more than this video delivers. Halfway through, I started wondering if this was a weird attempt at satire. Many of the 'facts' are just dead wrong -- as if the writer used a Mad Libs game to cobble together a script from thin air!
The theme was originally in the movie MASH. They didn’t use the words from the song in the show because the producers thought they were too dark. The only true thing I heard was about the adverse conditions they worked under when they filmed at the park.
I had to look and see if this came out on April Fool's Day. I was going to list all the GLARING mistakes in this video but a quick tiptoe through the comments revealed I am not alone in noticing them so there's no reason to point them out. Personally, I think M*A*S*H was the best show on television...EVER!!! I own the entire series and watch them often.
You are incredibly wrong about everything you said about Loretta Swit -she was on the show the entire length of it's run and Kilinger came from Ohio - Toledo Ohio to be exact - writes about something you know about next time!
I may be wrong but Kevin Dobson may have made 2 extraordinarily brief appearances. Like 5 mins total for the two appearances. Less than little Opie Cunningham. 😊
Toledo OH was Kilinger, flatly stated hometown. The Toledo Muhens were his favorite team. These are minor details of the incorrect dribble that makes up this lunacy. Unless you're looking for a laugh, kick this to the curb.
It may surprise you to know that Loretta Swit isn’t dead.. since she’s one of the show’s main cast members, that’s a big one….by the way, Larry Linville played Frank Burns in the TV show..how the hell did you come up with KEVIN DOBSON?? He didn’t even play Frank Burns in the movie!! Jeeeeez….
@@cletusspucklerstablejeaniu1059 no, she didn’t. Loretta Lynn died, not Loretta Swit, AND Loretta Lynn passed away on OCTOBER 4th, 2022, NOT June 4th. Surprised??
Well was a good try. Fans like myself have seen the the show's 10 20 times each. We pretty much know every detail. You can't fool the people. Respectfully, NZ ✌!
5:20 So they went 10+ years into the future to get a name for Radars teddy bear? You'd think they'd use their time machine for something more monumental.
It's not quite that bad, to be...ummm...generous, I guess!?! The year Houlihan and Hawkeye indulged their last lip sizzle in the series finale WAS also the year Fawn Hall got hired as Ollie's secretary, which was 4 years before the Iran-Contra hearings made "I do not recall" the four sexiest words spoken in the English language in the summer of 1987! (Hey, don't judge! I was what 1990s TV show Malcolm in the Middle would call a full-blown "Krelboyne"! I couldn't have Alex P. Keaton or Ice Man, had recently had the Indiana Jones/Han Solo hotness twofer utterly destroyed by Harrison Ford's comments on faking his way through a conscientious objector hearing to keep him out of Nam, and was from a family crammed with servicemembers from all 4 branches but most especially appreciated the beautiful vistas of beaches with Marines doing PT that afforded me opportunities to see as a hormonal teen!!!)
The camera dolly pictured became rare to see or work with. It was either a MaCallister or in that category of heavy as hell studio Dollies. I only encountered one, one time in a NYC studio. Grip and Electric tools have changed markedly since I was last working in the last '80s and early '90s. They are some wonderful and unique as well as inspiring tools of what is now a really matured business.
Morgan never played the piano in the series, rather it was Mulchay. Radar was never a nurse. Whoever wrote this script is totally ignorant of the show.
I thought Klinger was from Toledo ,Ohio, I could have swore I remember him bringing it up multiple times.. Edit: This guy has his info screwed up as I read other comments after I posted the first part of my comment.. He also said Col. Blake was a bad actor, I do not agree, he was supposed to be a laid back and a little taken advantage of, But all of the actors did not fit the normal military profile, Accept for Hot lip's and Burn's that Alway's tried to get the others to follow the military code of conduct while being deflated for doing so.. I have fond memories of all the actors and thought they all played their parts well, of course there is no denying that Alan Alda was the star of the show and frankly I was surprised he did star in lead roles in to many movies, I thought he was that good of an actor! M.A.S.H. I believe is one the highest rated TV series of all time and was the longest running series for a while.. Yep 11 seasons and the last episode had 77% of the TV audience watching it. Which was also a record amount of viewing audience.. It was funny, it was sad, and some episodes were both funny and sad, Used to watch it all the time as a kid... Fond memories, as a matter of fact I'm fixing to look for some episodes on TH-cam, I already found the last episode that is supposed to be uploaded in FHD!
Klingers hometown was Toledo Ohio of which he was born there. Klinger was always talking about Tony Poco's which I have been too and ate there the famous hot dogs. His picture is all over the place. Alan Alda was not brought in to replace McLean Stevens. They both started out together. You people really do need to get your facts straight!
This video has so many 🦬💩! The only person that Alan didn't always get along with and so did the rest of the cast, was the guy who played Raidar O'Reilly.
Maj. Frank Burns was played by Larry Linville, not Kevin Dobson. Also, the theme song to the series was sung with words in the original movie “M.A.S.H.!” During the “suicide” scene for the dentist “Jawbreaker.” Thirdly, Loretta Swit was a regular staple actor for the length of the show. You really need to verify your facts before publishing.
If these people can not even get the theme song, "suicide is painless" correct then there is a good chance the rest is cr@p. The "M. Altman" receiving credit on the record was none other than Mike Altman, the teenage son of Robert Altman. The director first took a crack at writing the lyrics himself. However, he felt his output was not "stupid enough." He wanted the song to be the "stupidest song ever written," you see. "I've got a kid who's a total idiot," he told his composer Johnny Mandel. So he gave it to his 14-year-old kid.
This was so funny! As I recall Kevin Dobson was a co-star on Kojak, not Mash! The theme song came from the movie of the same name and many other wrong references. What a mess!
Alan Alda was unwatchable, absolutely dripping with sanctimony. The series never recovered from the loss of McLean Stevenson and Wayne Rodgers. The BJ Honeycutt character was even more unlikable than Hawkeye, he was like Alan Alda on estrogen. Ironically now that the liberal baby boomers have taken over the reigns of power, the US has become continuously at war and the military industrial business is doing better than ever. (Of course they now label the wars as "conflicts" and "police actions")
Wait those 2 scenes are supposed to be out on the property where mash was filmed in California. The sign in rocks was still there for years for tours. They filmed many westerns out there years before.

It may surprise you to know that Loretta Swit isn’t dead.. since she’s one of the show’s main cast members, that’s a big one….by the way, Larry Linville played Frank Burns in the TV show..how the hell did you come up with KEVIN DOBSON?? He didn’t even play Frank Burns in the movie!! Jeeeeez….
Then it's gonna surprise you even more that she is. Loretta Swit passed away, June 4, 2022
@@cletusspucklerstablejeaniu1059 no, she didn’t. Loretta Lynn died, not Loretta Swit, AND Loretta Lynn passed away on OCTOBER 4th, 2022, NOT June 4th. Surprised??
Radar wasn't a nurse. He was a clerk. Hotlips is still alive.
Loretta Swit passed away, June 4, 2022
Well was a good try. Fans like myself have seen the the show's 10 20 times each. We pretty much know every detail. You can't fool the people. Respectfully, NZ
✌!
Who went to bed and dreamt this stuff up? Almost EVERYTHING is wrong !!
At 6:34, Larry Linville played Major Frank Burns. (Kevin Dobson was on Kojak, Knot's Landing, etc.)
McLean Stevenson was without a doubt the funniest actor on the show
5:20 So they went 10+ years into the future to get a name for Radars teddy bear? You'd think they'd use their time machine for something more monumental.
I don't ever remember them naming the teddy bear that
So many things wrong with the information contained in this video. I actually looked to see if it was published on April 1st.
It's not quite that bad, to be...ummm...generous, I guess!?! The year Houlihan and Hawkeye indulged their last lip sizzle in the series finale WAS also the year Fawn Hall got hired as Ollie's secretary, which was 4 years before the Iran-Contra hearings made "I do not recall" the four sexiest words spoken in the English language in the summer of 1987! (Hey, don't judge! I was what 1990s TV show Malcolm in the Middle would call a full-blown "Krelboyne"! I couldn't have Alex P. Keaton or Ice Man, had recently had the Indiana Jones/Han Solo hotness twofer utterly destroyed by Harrison Ford's comments on faking his way through a conscientious objector hearing to keep him out of Nam, and was from a family crammed with servicemembers from all 4 branches but most especially appreciated the beautiful vistas of beaches with Marines doing PT that afforded me opportunities to see as a hormonal teen!!!)
@@csmith63 I didn't notice you watching us doing PT(86-92).
Vet your information!
Wow, so mistakes in this video. The writer must've spend two hours compiling the info. Really poorly done.
You gave him 2 hours? Are you sure it was that long? Maybe 2 minutes is more appropriate.
The camera dolly pictured became rare to see or work with. It was either a MaCallister or in that category of heavy as hell studio Dollies. I only encountered one, one time in a NYC studio. Grip and Electric tools have changed markedly since I was last working in the last '80s and early '90s. They are some wonderful and unique as well as inspiring tools of what is now a really matured business.
Well, I have to say, this was an... interesting video. Not correct, but fascinating in the same way as a pile up on the freeway.
Klinger always said his hometown was Toledo Ohio!
Morgan never played the piano in the series, rather it was Mulchay. Radar was never a nurse. Whoever wrote this script is totally ignorant of the show.
The outdoor scenes were filmed in the foothills of California. In fact one goof always seen are the high tension towers and wires.
I thought Klinger was from Toledo ,Ohio, I could have swore I remember him bringing it up multiple times.. Edit: This guy has his info screwed up as I read other comments after I posted the first part of my comment.. He also said Col. Blake was a bad actor, I do not agree, he was supposed to be a laid back and a little taken advantage of, But all of the actors did not fit the normal military profile, Accept for Hot lip's and Burn's that Alway's tried to get the others to follow the military code of conduct while being deflated for doing so.. I have fond memories of all the actors and thought they all played their parts well, of course there is no denying that Alan Alda was the star of the show and frankly I was surprised he did star in lead roles in to many movies, I thought he was that good of an actor!
M.A.S.H. I believe is one the highest rated TV series of all time and was the longest running series for a while.. Yep 11 seasons and the last episode had 77% of the TV audience watching it. Which was also a record amount of viewing audience..
It was funny, it was sad, and some episodes were both funny and sad, Used to watch it all the time as a kid... Fond memories, as a matter of fact I'm fixing to look for some episodes on TH-cam, I already found the last episode that is supposed to be uploaded in FHD!
Klinger was from Toledo. There are a lot of errors in the video.
Loretta Switt didn't pass away. They need to check out some of this stuff.
Klingers hometown was Toledo Ohio of which he was born there. Klinger was always talking about Tony Poco's which I have been too and ate there the famous hot dogs. His picture is all over the place. Alan Alda was not brought in to replace McLean Stevens. They both started out together. You people really do need to get your facts straight!
Wow! Sally Keller an died , not Loretta. And Stevenson was terrible?
I think you mean Sally Kellerman…
I liked Stevenson!
Wish Frank Burn, Col Blake and Trapper never left the show.
Loretta Swift is still alive and in her 80s
This is so full of mis-information it just makes me sick!
Loretta Swit didn't die she is still alive and is around 85 years old. Don't you guys do any research at all?
Video Reported
radar was not a nurse. he was the company clerk
Soooo many mistakes in this video!
Teddybear of course❤
Went straight to the comments
After Alda started his pontificating I stopped watching MASH forever. Just like meathead on All in the Family enough is enough.
That's a shame.. it got good. He eventusllyhad a mental breakdown, and got locked up.. alda played it very well.
This video has so many 🦬💩! The only person that Alan didn't always get along with and so did the rest of the cast, was the guy who played Raidar O'Reilly.
MASH ended in 1982. No one knew who Oliver North was until 1987. Done watching
Maj. Frank Burns was played by Larry Linville, not Kevin Dobson. Also, the theme song to the series was sung with words in the original movie “M.A.S.H.!” During the “suicide” scene for the dentist “Jawbreaker.” Thirdly, Loretta Swit was a regular staple actor for the length of the show. You really need to verify your facts before publishing.
Retitled: "Making Stuff Up About MASH"
If these people can not even get the theme song, "suicide is painless" correct then there is a good chance the rest is cr@p. The "M. Altman" receiving credit on the record was none other than Mike Altman, the teenage son of Robert Altman. The director first took a crack at writing the lyrics himself. However, he felt his output was not "stupid enough." He wanted the song to be the "stupidest song ever written," you see. "I've got a kid who's a total idiot," he told his composer Johnny Mandel. So he gave it to his 14-year-old kid.
Loretta Swit,not swift. And you’re thinking of the actress that played in the MASH movie.
yhe oliver comment about iran contra hearings is false becaues that happened after mash went off the air .larry linvile played frank burns.
THIS ARTICLE IS COMPLETELY BOGUS!!!
Loretta Swit is STILL ALIVE!!! -
as of 11/29/2022
i SHOULD KNOW...... I/m from New Jersey . . . and so is she!!
Only a MASH hater could come up with so many lies
You really should watch the show sometime
This was so funny! As I recall Kevin Dobson was a co-star on Kojak, not Mash! The theme song came from the movie of the same name and many other wrong references. What a mess!
Got about halfway through, too many inaccuracies.
Really hope this is a parody channel. This video is composed with a Trumpian level of accuracy, and attention to detail.
My Gawd!
I doubt it is a parody, however you are spot on in referring it to Trump.
Why do you have to be stupid and bring in one of the best presidents we’ve had in a long time. Shameful
Listen to the Liberal!! Shouldn't you be watching a video about the MEATHEAD!!!
@@Lilactime402 You voted him out and look where we are, hahaha,,,,dummy
The Iran Contra Affair didn't even happen until TWO YEARS after the show went off the air.
Alan Alda was unwatchable, absolutely dripping with sanctimony. The series never recovered from the loss of McLean Stevenson and Wayne Rodgers. The BJ Honeycutt character was even more unlikable than Hawkeye, he was like Alan Alda on estrogen.
Ironically now that the liberal baby boomers have taken over the reigns of power, the US has become continuously at war and the military industrial business is doing better than ever. (Of course they now label the wars as "conflicts" and "police actions")
I liked BJ he's really good he was better than Trapper John and Charles was a whole lot better than Frank Burns
Suicide is painless and Korea was brutal dark humor par excellance
I thought Larry Linville played Frank Burns, not Kevin Dobson. Loretta Swit (not Swift) is still alive. She also never had children.
Radar was NOT a nurse; Frank Burns was played by Larry Linville, not Kevin Dobson. Not watching any more.
Wait those 2 scenes are supposed to be out on the property where mash was filmed in California. The sign in rocks was still there for years for tours. They filmed many westerns out there years before.
I love how you kept calling him Aaron Alda.
You might want to hire an editor. Lol
McLain Stevenson was my favorite character.
Radar the young Army nurse.
Radar was the Company Clerk....NOT a Nurse.
3:37 You DO know this photo is from the movie and not the tv show, right?
Iran Contra happened years after MASH went off the air. Nobody had heard of Oliver North when MASH was in production.
Wow, just...wow. Did you even research this? Have you ever even seen the show?
Who did this research? There are so many errors.
