- He just has good hearing I hear you say! Not so. Here’s over a minute of radar o’reily canonically being psychic for some reason. Why did they do this on a war show. No clue but I adore it.

The best time is when Charles is mad at him and asks “can you tell what I’m about to say now?” And Radar goes “yes sir, but I promised Father Mulcahy I wouldn’t use those words”
I wholeheartedly agree
That one was very good! I was in an early season mood when I made this and totally forgot about that one. Do you remember the episode, i could try to add it in.
@@kiah9085 It’s The Winchester Tapes, immediately after Charles arrives. He wants to use the phone to try to get away but Radar won’t let him on orders from Potter
@@kiah9085 I would have gone with when Potter first arrives, he has Radar explain his name, then Radar gives directions to the officer's latrine.
Funny line, and a great way to get around the censors!
Loved the first time Potter asked “Why, Radar? Why that name?” Radar said, “It’s because I know things are going to happen before they happen.” And then suddenly, “Do you hear that?” Potter says, “What.” “Choppers,” Radar says, who then proceeds to run out the door alerting everyone. Potter is like, I don’t hear anything, then… the sounds of incoming choppers. It was just hilarious. And a good reason why Radar is named like he is.
The first time:
Potter: "Why 'Radar'?"
Radar (sheepishly): "Well sometimes I can tell what happens before it happens."
Potter :"Is that so..." (starts to walk out of the tent)
Radar: "Yes, Sir. The Officer's latrine is on your right, Sir..."
Potter: (absently) "Thank you!"
Radar: You're welcome..."
(Colonel Potter pauses in the doorway wondering what just happened)
I love Radar’s telepathic abilities. But he already knew that.
Me too. It was one of the BEST parts of the show!
And (thankfully, or maybe "sadly?") they didn't "overdo it". They just sprinkled it in here and there. (so it never lost its charm)
@@sharkdentures3247 Toward the end, Radar was just a regular person. Very regular, innocent and real world. In the first season, he was mysterious. And sort of a hipster.
Still here 0:36
"Radar, will you stop saying what I'm thinking?"
"Well somebody has to."
LOL!
They did this one less often with Potter but one really good one was when, at the end of the list of things Potter was telling him to do as he said it at the same time, Potter demands a Snickers bar without peanuts: "Yes sir, a Milky Way bar sir."
That one’s classic! According to potter Mildred has a bit of esp herself so maybe that’s why he doesn’t make a big thing of it?
I remember that one! Man, I think I was maybe ten when I saw that last. Amazing what sticks with you.
@@kiah9085 also helped avoid homesickness as he didn’t want Potter being reminded of Mildred every day
I was a shadow clerk, and I used to do this to my 1SG and CO. I wasn't psychic. Pretty much all company information flowed through me, so it was pretty easy to anticipate. And, of course, I had friends at battalion who would keep me up to speed because it served their interests, too.
For example, the battalion commander might spend an afternoon briefing his company commanders on an upcoming exercise. The CO would return to brief his senior people. A platoon sergeant might ask me what was up, and I'd tell them before that meeting. How? Well, someone at battalion would have to read every word while typing up all those orders, right? And those people were happy to fill me in. It made everyone's jobs easier, and provided no shortage of really weird moments.
It's an old but useful habit. At a battalion reunion decades later, our former battalion commander forgot his room number and asked me if I knew it. I told him to look in his right front pocket, and he found it there scribbled on a paper slip. No magic - just me paying attention to details.
It's amazing how much information is there if you look. I was never in the military, but some people have thought i magic over the years.
thats functionally the same thing
We had an excellent company clerk who wanted nothing more than to be a squad leader. I tried getting him transferred to my platoon, an received holyh@ll for my efforts. I guess some people ARE irreplaceable.
I worked in my company's HQ platoon handling paperwork and administrative matters. It was great getting to know my company's CO, XO, and Top. The first batch of coffee I brewed was officially approved by the CO and XO that told me it was definitely true that whoever made good coffee was going to be a good fit in HQ platoon. Being a platoon commander's driver and then 1st Sergeant's driver definitely had it's perks-my platoon commander told me that if anyone messed with me let him know-he'd destroy them because "You're MY driver."
I would be one of the people who leaned on you, I'm so forgetful
Fun fact .... Gary Burghoff was the only actor from the original movie to also do the TV series. Gary really did create a wonderful character. EDIT: Apparently, I was wrong. Burghoff was one of four actors who had roles in the original movie and also appeared in the series. I think I'm still on solid ground to say he was the only major player to score both.
they went to recast him then said ...but who could we get to play the part better See if gary will do it
Then When Gery left rather the replace him they moved Jamie up & he gave evan more crazy antics.
They all did. I look back at this show first time around and see a world that is unrecognisable from today. Where did it all go wrong.
@@johnferguson40 Striving for the new, and not maintaining the old is where "it all went wrong".
@@johnferguson40I dunno, if you ask Hawkeye I think he'd say it'd already gone pretty damm wrong, way back then. In fact things have hardly ever been right, it just wasn't yours to know before. Now, it is, and we're stuck with that.
Gary once explained that he came up with the idea of Radar wearing glasses and having poor eyesight way to explain his e.s.p. The e.s.p. was supposed to be a heightened sense to make up for his eyesight. Some people know that he had a physical issue with one of his hands which is why he was always carrying something to hide it.
I scream when he screams "Radar!" and he's already there
Radar! Dammit Radar!
That sly smile as Radar says "ours is not to question why."
"Stop saying what I'm thinking."...
"One of us has to." 🤣
That was a terrific running gag in the show and raised Radar's profile significantly.
And this is how he was able to walk through the minefield without setting off a mine.
this show had some of the best timing ever. Shows today could learn a lot.
They actually had to focus on the writing to keep you entertained versus the CGI to keep you entertained now.
The last 30 seconds is just comedy gold. Well written and definitely well executed.
This made me think of Gargoyles for a moment.
Radar is the perfect assistant. When given a wish by Puck, Zanatos wished for a perfect and loyal servant. Puck was confused until Zanatos said he could buy everything but that.
Radar was on the ball, all the time, before asked, and was 100% loyal.
Such a great little quirk when creating this character, and he pulled it off brilliantly.
Radar was Heart and Soul of M.A.S.H.
Always first to yell “Choppers” and told everyone else to wait for it.
Radar was and always will be a great memorable character
In a lot of ways, I was somewhat sad to see Radar’s character grow and mature as the seasons passed. Once Radar started speaking up for himself and not idolizing Hawkeye as much, he ended up not being that shy, humble country boy from Iowa anymore.
I love Radar. He's such a sweet guy.
In the movie, it seemed like Radar had the place running and while telling colonel Blake what's happening, Blake's giving the "orders"
They played on that in some dialog. Blake says, "some people say Radar is really in command here." And Radar looks sheepish.
In the TV series.
I sometimes wish they'd included Sgt. Volmer in the series. It was always funny in the movie to see him 3 seconds behind while Radar was 3 seconds ahead.
I loved Radar better when Henry was CO. They were so great together.
Yeah…. While I like the later seasons as a whole better, the dynamics everyone had with radar just weren’t the same 😔
Radar should have stopped Henry from going home, he would still be alive!
@@bebo5558
Radar knew, and also knew he couldn't stop him. It gave me chills when I saw that final salute...😢
@@Name-ps9fx I tear up because not only it's the last episode for Henry (and Trapper), but I was watching it in the nursing home the day before my Grandpa died.
@@bebo5558in the books I remember he did get home and promoted further in the Army.
Henry Blake and Radar, love those verbal exchanges :)
Such a fun part of the show and the character, Radar. Played so well. Great timing.
Radar was always my favorite
Damn, that's funny..."I don't like to be late sir"
This was just the tip of iceberg of Radar's prescient powers.
Thanks Gary!
I watched this 6 times over before I got to the end...great deliveries
I've come back to this scene maybe 40 or 50 times and each time I get choked up at the very end. Just crazy.
It's Radars world, we just live in it.
Gary's timing is impeccable.
“General Hammond”? Hammond of Texas was a General that far back? Well I suppose Hawkeye and BJ would prepare someone to command O’Neill
The early episodes were pure gold.
Loved em but to corny with Blake at times for me. Like Potter days much better, did love Trapper though.
That’s why Radar is the MVP of them all.
I'm not psychic.. just lucky I guess.. but growing up my friends called me Radar. Over 20 times I've picked up the phone before it rang and someone was calling me. Over a dozen times I was with friends and started singing a song, we would turn on the radio, and that song was playing. More times than I could count I would all of a sudden think about an old movie star.. say it to my friends or parents.. And within an hour a show with them would come in t.v... first time in years in mist cases. It was weird.
That much 'luck' is what physic means. In the spiritual rhealm your soul is open and perceptive. Luck is coincindemce repeated "coincidence" is sign of something else than luck. I believe the Bible calls them sons of the prophet instead of directly used by God to bring a messege they already "knew" stuff like that Elisha would lose Elijah.
Those things do happen. It is a very different world than the way we are led to believe.
Try gambling. It's a good way to find out how far down the rabbit hole goes.
@@mariannelopez6738 you’re spiritually intelligent and informed. Most western people explain spiritual things away with logic because they don’t have an understanding of how the spiritual realm works. I’m a devoted Christian but the Holy Spirit opened me to the realities of the realm and I allow Him to teach me things about the realm
Starts post with "I'm not psychic", then draws us all a lifelong roadmap of clearly psychic experiences. 🤣
Not going to tell any one of you what to believe because of course it's up to each of you to trip and fall till you figure things out for yourselves, but I will leave you with this one little thought and I hope it nags away in your brains till you give it the time it deserves:
"Imagine if you thought for yourself instead of thinking as you're told. Imagine if you stopped dismissing it and took it seriously for once."
Potter pulls in. R: "Permission to cover my nakedidity?" I love it.
This was pre-VCR, but when I was a kid, I would audio tape some of the MASH episodes and play them back later. To hear these clips now without the laugh track is really interesting. I read later that the rest of the world heard these shows without the canned laughter that we got here in America.
Thanks for posting. The give and take between Henry and Radar was always brilliant.
E4 Mafia always knows.
TL needs to recognize
Henry was great.
The early Mash were the best!
I’m personally a fan of the later bc I’m in it for the drama of dramedy more than the comedy but you’re right the later seasons just didn’t have this kind of fun pizzazz the early ones did. Like how often does Potter do something like that? How often do we have a captain Tuttle? I miss those ones to even if I prefer what comes after
Radar and Klinger were my favourite characters.
Hawkeye and BJ were the second best
M*A*S*H* was an absolutely fantastic production!! It was hilarious, heart wrenching, thought provoking and always entertaining!
It was a great show when it was first released back in the early 1970's, but compared to the stool water that's being produced nowadays, it will never be rivalled with respect to its brilliance!
And that's why they called him Radar.
Brilliant actor.
Great character well acted.
I had the hugest crush on him when I was a kid
STILL a great show!!!
Radar was based on a real person. Maybe that guy was able to anticipate things.
I saw and interview with him and he claimed that he didn't have ESP but was just more observant than others.
@@texasdustfart The whole ESP thing for Radar was a later addition: In the book, his nickname comes from his large, protruding, ears. His only 'future sense' was that he could hear inbound choppers before anyone else.
I don't want to be late sir 😂😂😂
General Hammond.... Before Stargate, He was in command of M.A.S.H
There is an e5/ RADAR in every unit secretly making it all happen.
Such a fun thought that everything about the show is completely grounded in reality except this one guy having super powers.
I forgot this part of the funny years of the show.
I mean, this puts a different spin on Radar letting Colonel Blake get on that plane...
The show hints that Radar was sensitive to the thoughts of other people, not that he could predict the future. If no one at MASH knew that Henry's plane was going to be shot down, Radar's gift couldn't have picked up on the tragedy ahead of time.
@@navythriller I mean, that's not true, unless you're saying he could detect the thoughts of the chopper pilots bringing in the wounded. He was called Radar because he could detect things a long way off.
@@rudetc - Empathic with really good hearing then?
He had suspicions- it’s the reason he’s so resistant to Henry leaving. He couldn’t stop Henry.
I am Radar... Yes i know your thinking... No hes not.
Radar could quote Shakespeare in season 1. He couldn't even spell it by season 4
Just so you know on the DVD collection every episode has an audio track with no laughs. And the normal track. Theres like maybe 3 episodes of the whole series that never had a laugh track.
Radio was my second diary character, under Hawkeye
Even as a dumb kid I knew MASH was the good stuff.
Such a great shtick that nobody dares to copy it. It belongs to MASH and only MASH
Amazing love
At 1:02 it is confirmed that Stargate SG-1 takes place in the same universe as M*A*S*H.
I haven’t seen it so I don’t get the reference but it IS canonically the same universe as an episode of the twilight zone (see episode follies of the living concerns of the dead and the passerby”
When can we knight Rader ?
I've seen this series 8 times and yes I know I'm a nerd :)
So? I did that all the time. Bosses never know how to do their own jobs. Someone has to show them. Unlike Radar, I was told I had a "bad attitude ".
Radar has manners
He had an abusive childhood so he's learned to read faces and body language.
He had good script writers.
Radar Costanza
It's so sad that the producers turned Radar from an interesting adult?
Into a sweet but simplistic child.
It must have been SO frustrating for Gary Burghoff (who played Radar).
To slowly watch his character get stupider and more juvenile...every season.
No wonder he quit the show.
Thanks for editing and posting this video, Kiah.
It must have taken SOME time.
☮
Not just that, but the whole reason he joined the army, (if you read the book, he was a pre-war volunteer, not a draftee), was cut away: He wanted to have nothing to do with the farm and an army career in a support position was exactly the way to get out.
@@chakatfirepaw I didn't know that.
☮
He matures though? Like he actively gets less childlike the longer the show goes on
People have told me I look like Radar but Act like Hawkeye I need to keep my Fingers crossed that I dont get sued for CopyRight
Its not a fun thing if you have it. you have to question if you're in the matrix or something, disturbing.
Too bad that part of Radar's personality faded into background and Radar became just a teddy-bear hugging wimp
I am now convinced Radar is a telepath and this show is a sci fi
Frank Burns eats worms! 😅😅
You tell’em Ferret face! 😂😂😂
I love this compilation and these moments!! If you don't mind me asking, but what episodes are these from?? It's been a while since I've seen the Blake era episodes and I can't remember the names for the life of me. :)
I’m afraid I don’t remember most of them but I believe dear dad, Henry come home please, and germ warfare are three of them! Specifically dear dad is the one with Hawkeye thinking about Radar having ESP, Henry come home is the one with Frank, and germ warfare is the one where they’re talking about the blood and the “how can you be late when I don’t even know I want you”
I’m a bit Radar myself. 🎉
Oh funny funny
0:50 i think this is vintage. Radar and Blake talking at the ssme time saying the same thing.
Love you Alan 💖
When incompetency is running the show average intellect appears psychic.
I don’t mean to be mean but the term esp is literally mentioned. He answers the phone before it rings. He’s told to stop saying what people are thinking and acting on thoughts they haven’t had yet. I get why people don’t like the idea of it but ghosts exist in this show I think psychics are fine.
@@kiah9085 I know what you mean. It's like working somewhere for a long time and seniority will appear like ESP haha I'm pretty sure the phone is always ringing up in there. Of course, this is just a TV program and written that way.
What my brother said when asked if he'd consider moving up in rank in the Army. He chose to leave rather than be an officer.
i know he got sent home after his uncle died to tend to the farm and married a pretty nurse from the next town over but I gotta wonder if he didn't become the local sheriff
Good writers make good shows. Where are the good writers?
I wanted to see the one with Charles
I love that one! Didn’t think of it at the time lol. Give me the episode and I’ll add it in
@@kiah9085 I don't remember which one it was
If I remember correctly then Radar *was* psychic in the book the series was based on.
I knew about the movie but not the book.
Wonder how long they had to rehearse to get the timing down?
Intro - 4 seconds
Title: Radar being psychic for 1:30
Total video runtime - 1:25
1:15 still here 1:19
When my sister was little she would tell you who was calling when the phone rang, she was often right. Not psychic, adults talk around kids thing they are dumb as a pet, I the caller was just whoever was the most recent subject of discussions, helped that you had to be desperate to call my shithole of a household.
"those ones"
The writing for Blake was too cringe corny. Still best show ever, but it’s true.
They can save the world or destroy it.
But right now is proof that the boss puts things where they belong.
"Absolute power corrupts absolutely"
He's not a nice person in real life. I've waited on his table in Crystal River, FL.
Being "psychic" requires attention to detail, a quick wit, proper resources, including the right connections, and excellent hearing.
You don't pick up radio or whatever from books in order to read them. You don't need some ethereal connection to pick up signals from someone else and read minds. Just like any book, just build up a contextual knowledge and pay attention to what you're reading and its application.
Radar was my favorite character.
How funny that everyone watching loved Radar, but the cast had problems with his attitude
That was just before he left. He was having a difficult time in his personal life and after doing the movie and the show for so long, he was just burned out and irritable.
But those of us watching didn't have to work with him, we only get to enjoy his acting.
