People you are fond of tend to die off more frequently as you get older. Strange that.

Wow. It just seems like we`ve lost more this year than usual. The older we get, the more pronounced it will be I guess.

 

[HubertGummer]

Dang...he almost made it.

 

[actaeon277]

His chaplain role wasn't the usual Hollywood "religious people should be made fun of" role.

Quite true.
I'll forever remember the episode where he took a rare step to the fore when the 4077 had a visit by some celebrities.
One of the celebrities was a champion boxer who was greatly admired by Father Mulcahy (an avid boxer himself), but the boxer suffers a fatal stroke that leaves him in a coma for at least a day before succumbing.
While the boxer lies in a coma, Father Mulcahy sits down next to him, alone, then explains that he admired him so much from having seen him in a match years before in which he had stopped the match to save his opponent from the pummeling he had given him, showing what a true class he was, even in a boxing match.
Mulcahy also brings up during his monologue with the dying boxer how his own life philosophy had long been based upon a combination of Plato's idea of the "ideal plane" with the real world that the boxer had shown him in that match.
M*A*S*H* is on Netflix, and this particular episode is from Season 10, episode 19, titled "Heroes."

Thanks. I'll have to look it up. Though I don't have Netflix. Maybe it's on amazon prime.

Burns, Potter, Blake, Trapper, Flagg and Mulcahy are all gone from the MASH crew if I remember correctly. IF you look at their ages, most of them were born in the '30's or early '40's.

I went to Washington DC for 1 day in 1984 or 1985 in the 8th grade with my Dad on a field trip for school. One of the most notable things I saw in the Smithsonian was the SWAMP and the OR from MASH. -Jason

Also Sidney Freeman. Both Blake actors (movie/TV) died a day apart.

Sadly, it's not available to stream via Prime, but the whole season is $10.99, and it'll land on your doorstep in two days, as a Prime member - https://www.amazon.com/Tv-Season-10...id=1483413368&sr=8-13&keywords=mash+tv+series
