I guess I'm not even surprised now. I didn't start watching MASH until around 94 (hey I'm 39) and fell in love with the show. This is one of the few shows where the characters feel like real people.

Son of a gun. This stinking year has taken both Trapper and Father Mulcahy.

Adios you flipping year. May 2017 be a sight better.

Good show, good character, good actor.

And good riddance to 2016.

Jeez, 2016 is going down fighting. I grew up watching MASH, and loved it even before I was old enough to understand the more serious issues they tackled on the show. Rest in peace, Father. :cry

I grew up on MASH and it holds up well to this day. We couldn't just manage another 2 hours with 2016 hitting again.

ps~if any of you recognize that Hawkeye quote about Father Mulcahy, then you're as big a M.A.S.H. fan as I am. lol Rest in Peace, William, and thanks for the laughs.

RIP Father Mulcahy. :cry

I still remember watching and how much an event "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen" was...

 

[Apollo]

Loved him in that role.....

 

[SmilingOtter]

He was really very good. I feel guilty--we tried to get Pat O'Brien.

Jocularity, jocularity!

Father: If anyone needs more gloves, I'll be glad to give you a hand! (He goes out, laughing)
Potter: Pierce, Hunnicut, you two have been a rotten influence on that man.

I am speechless. One of my fav tv shows. Thoughts and prayers go to his family and friends.

Thank you for all you gave especially the smiles and laughter. May you rest in peace.

Jockularity!
