The "Hawkeye" character was sitting there up to his neck in blood, lamenting the horrors of war, then turns around and says something like "Hand me that whoopie cushion over there" and spanks a nurse on the back side.

That is what I loved about the show. You'd have great moments of drama followed by great moments of comedy. I always thought he gave a great performance. True the show wasn't as good at the end, but for most of its run it was a great show


You may be interested to learn that Richard Hornberger, who wrote the original book on which MASH (both the film and TV series) was based, under the name 'Richard Hooker', loathed Alan Alda's portrayal of Hawkeye Pierce.


It is unfortunate that that Hornberger loathes the way Alda portrayed Hawkeye. Personally I can't see anyone else coming anywhere near close to Alda's performance. I would be interested to learn how Hornberger thinks Hawkeye should be portrayed. However may I remind you that if the creator was always right about his creation(s), OT.com would not be here right now.

I hate the fact that Jon Corzine (Dem) was won the Governor election in N.J.

I think Reid's brain is just where it belongs. He did allow for TO's suspension (I mean, he was obviously consulted on it and he had to have given it his ok, otherwise we'd have heard about it).


I wasn't referring to his handling of the T.O. situation. I was referring to his handling of everything else(playing calling, wasting time outs, not running the ball, not giving up on Mcnabb for the rest of the season, etc.....).

B.T.W.: Reid has annouced that T.O. will not be coming back to the Eagles. And not only did T.O. get in a fight with Hugh Douglas, but after that fight, T.O. challenged Mcnabb and all the other Eagles player present to a fight. T.O. is a selfish greedy jackass. He would make a perfect fit for the Cowgirls(sorry Davy).

I hate what is going on in France right now.

I hate T.O.

I hate the fact that Jay let certain member return.

I hate the fact that my high school football team whose record was was 0-7 played another team whose record was 0-7, and got killed by that team. Now their record is 0-8.

I hate Alan Alda.


why? He was wonderful in Mash, and is doing a good job on the West Wing. Funny guy and good actor. What's to hate about him?
