Father Mulcahy didn't make it!

I had no idea he was 84!

Father John Patrick Francis Mulcahy

All the still-living MASH actors are late 70's/ early 80's now, except Radar is only 73.

Oddly enough, Wayne Rogers (Trapper John) passed away on Dec. 31st in 2015.

I Loved the Father Mulcahy character . . . may he RIP.

Remember his appearance on The Andy Griffith Show?

Yes, as the new doctor in town?

I never could get into that show.

MASH or AG?

I love M*A*S*H up until Frank Burns left the show. I never watch any rerun without Frank.

MASH or AG?

Neither really but I at least made an attempt to get into 'MASH', haha. Wasn't Andy Griffith in black and white?

The first 5 seasons were, and they were better as they still had Don Knotts on the show. The last 2-3 seasons were in color but it wasn't as funny then.

I'm guessing if you're ~40 or younger, that Andy Griffith show doesn't mean much to you. But if you're a little order than that, you likely remember coming home from school as a kid (back in the pre-cable TV days), and AG reruns were on every afternoon.

I thought the show was better without Frank. His appeal wore off pretty quick, the same old joke over and over. I thought Winchester was a better, more complex character.

Back in my restaurant days I once waited on William Christopher. No disrespect for the dead but he was one weird dude.
