RansomeStoddard- 😆😆😆😆😆😆 The guy who had the General was Harry Morgan and two seasons later they brought back Harry Morgan( to replace Henry Blake ) to play Sherman T. Potter!
When Col. Potter arrived at the unit Hawkeye should have said to him "you know you look exactly like this crazy General Steele we had visiting us a while ago"
Henry Morgan played it so well that you didn't even associate this character with Sherman Potter two seasons later! 😲😅 ... That's how convincing he was as this crazy caricature of a general. 👏🏻
Harry Morgan was an original. Many characters he played had a very gruff, serious side that was brilliantly combined with a funny side. A really, really funny side. R.I.P. Mr. Morgan. 🙏
He made a few racist comments, some veiled and some not (like when he referred to somebody, can't remember who now, as a "darkie"). That'd get you booted from the military nowadays and it doesn't matter who you are.
I wish they'd shown more of the scene at the beginning of the clip that led to the charges. Gen. Steele wanted to use the chopper at the pad to observe the camp's move, Hawkeye said no dice it's taking a critical patient to Seoul, they argued a little more, then Hawkeye signaled the pilot, "Go!" Then the general yelled at Hawkeye, "You're arrogant! You're insubordinate!" Hawkeye said, "Right! And you're nuts!"
I don't know what's more funny, the warrant officer looking down at Hawkeye and Henry in utter confusion or the look on the MP colonel's face as he gathers up his paperwork LOL!!!!!!
In the M.A.S.H documentary Alan Alda said they couldn't contain themselves....cause Harry Morgan did this off script and everyone loved it cause his character was supposed to be nuts. It took A LOT of takes.
This is what makes this show the absolute best. So many moments like that, and even when it's obviously off the cuff, it's still great material capture in the moment. Later seasons when they all knew each other's tricks and gags, it just got better to the point where they could keep bouncing it off each other.
Allen A- There was a western movie that Harry Morgan was in to( but he wasn’t the main actor in that movie though) and I forget the title of the movie! “ DARN”😁😁
Well, Colonel Flagg’s actor was in an earlier episode as a different character because he was formally introduced. Could be he was just using one of his many aliases.
I was obsessed with M*A*S*H - but I was also glad they pulled the plug when they did... they could have even lopped off the last season or 2 as it had started to get a little away from the "war is absurd" message, and started getting into the very real consequences of war like PTSD. There is a place for drama to take on those tough subjects, but a 1/2 hr. sitcom isn't it.
@@LoneLee2022 That’s good!🙂 I’ve seen every episode of M.A.S.H when it used to be on tv and each episode was really good( especially when Col. Flagg was on the episodes ) 😄😄
I never realized he said "when the tide goes out, the DARKS STAND AROUMD..." even better/worse than I remember. I just can't watch these old episodes without the canned laughter. "A Smattering of Intelligence" is still my favorite.
I like them better without the canned laughter. If you do a bit of googling that is a real song that's been around for quite a long time. It's on UA-cam, here is a version from 1927. ua-cam.com/video/gz4mljfOCI8/v-deo.htmlsi=CYDcw7Ze163DDSmn
Radar O'Reilly: "Hey, Hawkeye. Is it just me, or does Col. Potter look and sound a lot like General Steele?" Hawkeye Pierce: "Uh...its him alright. I think they forgot to lock his rubber room. Listen, just play along with him. We'll pretend that we think he's 'Colonel Potter' until this war ends."
@@gordonsypolt9519 That's right. The fall TV season used to start about a couple weeks earlier than nowadays. This was from 9-10-74, 27 years and one day before the 9/11 attacks. Innocent times, those, despite Nixon's resignation a little over a month previous. Posting 8-6-22, which is 3 days before the 48th anniversary of Nixon's stepping down.
I saw a behind the scenes of this episode. The cast said Harry was so funny that they could not contain themselves. You see bloopers of them breaking out laughing when Harry was doing his scenes.

Yes... and after Korea he decided he'd had enough of military life, moved to LA, changed his name, and became an LAPD detective, working with his partner Joe Friday.
@@JeffDeWitt Then retired to Staten Island, where Harry Morgan changed his name and became the eccentric elderly family patriarch Martin Vanderhof. As chronicled in " You Can't Take It with You"
@@tomany65 Yes, and Teddy Wilson, who played Warrant Officer Williams in the above episode, co-starred with Harry Morgan in "You Can't Take it with You."
M*A*S*H was on the air before my time but it’s cool to see Harry Morgan on the show a year before he was cast as Colonel Potter. It was perfect that the General Steele character was such a nut. I love how Hawkeye, Colonel Blake, and the helicopter pilot were just staring at him like “are you serious, you nutcase”, and the judge just zips up his binder like “case dismissed”.
Brian Arbenz- Yeah! That would’ve been interesting, but, I don’t know of how they would’ve gotten Harry Morgan to play both General Steele and Sherman T. Potter at the same time!
I see this is an old thread but… this seems to me reminiscent of a role I think he played in the movie What Did You Do in the War Daddy were he lost in the catacombs and goes nuts unless I am mistaken
That is General Steele with 3 e's not necessarily in a row. He comes from a long line of family members who served in the Army. Later Harry Morgan became Coronal Sherman T. Potter. I'm not to sure but I believe he appeared in every tv show about the old west during the 1960's. You think of a show and I bet Mr. Morgan was in it.
It's ironic that the generation that grew up with these shows and talk about how much better they had it as kids are the same people who then raised their own children in a bubble then complain how soft they turned out.
