Enoch Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 (edited) Who do you feel were lesser replacements? Col. Blake ---> Col. Potter (Potter was better IMO) I cant remember Burns but was his replacement Winchester? All the rest of the staples were there for the whole run, no? (Radar, Hot Lips, Klingar). Who was it that was Haweye's sidekick? He changed once, right? Trapper to Hunnicut was a step down. Blake to Potter was a step down. Burns to Winchester was a huge step down. Radar was funny. Hotlips and Mulcahy had their moments. Klingar was one joke that got old fast. Speaking of steps down, anybody remember the laugh this guy got when he first stepped down out of the dispatcher cage?

I agree Radar was funny. Hotlips and Mulcahy had their moments. Klingar was one joke that got old fast. I loved them all and had no problems with any of them. You could argue it's the best ensemble cast in the history of TV! I also loved recurring characters - Maj. Sidney Freedman Col. Samuel Flagg Ho-Jon Capt.

taks Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 10. The crazy genius guy from Law and Order: Criminal Intent ( I could really do a separate Law and Order list) bobby goren played by vincent d'onofrio. he's one of my favorite actors in general, though this character in particular. new season starts january 9, btw. fry and bender from futurama. i have my 5-year old son quoting both of them now. we were driving in the car the other day and there was some soundbite on the radio taken from a futurama episode and john suddenly exclaimed "now just hold on a second! that was futurama!" taks comrade taks... just because.

taks Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 As the show progressed, he became much more involved and influential, and the series suffered for it. alan alda was about as cynical about war (in general) as one could possibly be, and yes, it came through when he started writing and directing. there's even a futurama episode that spoofs him switching (literally) between comedy and drama. of course, MASH was a cynical anti-war show to begin with, but it was originally supposed to be about the vietnam war, not the korean war. guess they were worried about pissing off the recent vietnam vets. *If I judged my entertainment by the actors/key figures political beliefs I would never watch another movie or TV show. my list of actors that i can stomach has shrunk over the years. fortunately, i never liked jane fonda, susan sarandon or tim robbins to begin with (well, jacob's ladder was good). taks comrade taks... just because.

Using celebrity to spout uninformed political opinions is one thing, but sitting on a weapon that is used to fire upon US soldiers is unforgivable. Blech.

Gorgon Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Jane Fonda belongs on that AA gun about as much as the American intervention belonged in Vietnam. It's interesting to note why an AA gun is symbolic, considering the enormous toll on infrastructure, and the civilian cost of the consecutive bombing campaigns.

Gorgon Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I mean, she's still an idiot for doing it, but show a little context. American aircrew lost versus 'collateral damage' caused by an unnecessary war. I don't care what it says on the passports of the people who died, maybe you lot care a little too much.

It's one thing to disagree with the war, and even protesting the war. Her actions went above and beyond that. Just like it is one thing to hate your parents and not attend their funerals, but getting on the coffin as it is lowered into the ground and whooping in glee is in very poor taste.

taks Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 the issue with the war wasn't the point, it was how actor/actress political positions effect the ability to watch their movies/shows without throwing up. what jane did was not just reprehensible, it was treasonous. interestingly, i don't recall henry being as poltically outspoken (though he was a veteran). he came from a different time, however. taks comrade taks... just because.

Guard Dog Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 A long time ago I used to use the TV as an alarm clock. Anyway, I had to get up at 5 a.m. most of the time back then so I set the TV to 4:45. It was on a local channel and the local news came on at 5. Gunsmoke was on from 4-5. I used the hate the sound of James Arness's (he played Marshall Dillion) voice because than meant it was time to wake up.
