Best Radar line when it comes to females! The episode when Margaret supposedly went missing, Radar was told by Colonel Potter to go into the woman's shower to look for her. He was saying that there might be females in there showering naked with their clothes off! The colonel was like so what! And Radar precedes to say that it makes him breathe funny! What's funny is Potter agreed and says it affects him the same way!
Kt, I recall a clip where Col. Potter was taking a shower. Margaret walks into the tent, & says, "Colonel, I need to see you!", & Potter says, "Take one step closer, & you'll get the whole picture!". ;)
Radar, despite being young and naive, shows more wisdom in how to be true to yourself regardless of the circumstances and despite the "bad" influences he encounters. One of my other favorite bits of Radar wisdom is the episode where he gets a teddy bear "tattoo".
Smooth as goose shit 😆 poor radar. Like potter said that time before he went on R and R. " what are ya worried about? Radar practically runs the joint anyhow." He went home a man
@@kevincloud574 I'm used to Ltd., but I just read that Lt. is now the official German abbreviation, too. It may have been standardized on an international level.
Radar went in harm's way & got wounded only because of Hawkeye's arm twisting him to go.. Totally guilt-wridden, Hawkeye gets completely bombed after surgery, had to do surgery again the next morning, horribly hung over, & then has to run out of the OR to throw up. Radar rebukes him for it afterward, & Hawkeye completely blows his stack, screaming at Radar & calling him names, until Radar is in tears. Later, he goes back to apologize, & Radar dumps on Hawkeye right back, telling him "go pickle yourself". They later make amends, & Hawkeye pins a Purple Heart on Radar, & gives him a very rare salute. There was a great range & depth to both characters in this episode, it's among the top ten dramatic episodes the entire series.
@@grantgarrod2232 Thanks for the recap, I was wondering what happened after this scene. You're right, very emotional episode, one of my favourite ones too.
One of my favorite episodes. God what a rollercoaster of emotions that was. Comedy & Drama in a perfect balance & fusion. You know it's good when you look back at this episode again after many years.
Love this show, and never tire of it. Glad I saw every ep new. I watched the movie of it in the theater, when new. I was a child, but loved it. Radar, Klinger, Potter, and BJ were my faves, on the weekly show. BJ had a babyface and looked best without the mustache. He was cute.
I enjoy these wonderful episodes and find the world that exists and plays out for the characters inside the confines of "The Swamp" very entertaining. It's a bar, a card casino, a sleeping birth, a game stop, a conference room and when Major Charles shows up a concert hall. All in all a space of respite from the uncontrollable madness of war. The Swamp is all these things, the inside environment is the only entity they can control. Only folk of high intelligence and sharp wit are capable of doing this.
Love the show, favorites are the ending cast (radar included) with the accompanying Sydney freedman... to quote: “ladies and gentlemen, take my advice, pull down your pants and slide on the ice”
That's a line from Sidney's first episode, and when they were writing the series finale, Alan Alda made sure that was the last thing Sidney said on the show.
I remember the end of one episode where Sydney and Hawkeye were "playing" phantom basketball after Sydney had been spending the entire episode helping Hawkeye. Radar looked out a window and motioned Klinger over. Klinger said something like "No wonder I can't get a Section 8. You have to stand in line behind the other crazies."
Possibly, but not likely. Fraternization between officers & enlisted men was a huge no-no, & a big risk, especially for nurses. If it was a likely possibility with anyone in camp, they wouldn't have sent him halfway across the war for a hook-up.
@@grantgarrod2232 Don't you remember the Jack Nicholson line in an Officer and a gentleman ? There's nothing like getting a Blow job from a Superior Officer !
Just go for it. A slap in the face is the worst you are going to get. It really isn't that hard. When is comes to women, pay attention to what they say, don't talk about yourself too much, tell them you need to buy a pair of shoes and ask them to go along for consulting..
This reminds me of when my 10 year-older brother told me of a classmate in the last year of high school, declaring he was going to join the Marines so that they could "make a man of me!" My brother told him to go downtown to 13th and Pacific, plenty of ladies to do that. Well, he joined the Marines, but he ended up seeing Jeebus in a clear blue sky and was Section 8'd out. Drove a beer delivery truck the rest of his life. When _Full Metal Jacket_ came out, the character of Private Pyle rattled my brother, said it was like a flashback.
@@nolanboles8492 ... Re-read. Carefully. Your "10 year-older brother" is not the same as your "10 year old brother." Or if it is, you're a prodigy for being able to type a YT comment at the ripe old age of born yesterday.
@@gamerk1058, that reminds me of a clip where Radar was shoveling down a huge tray of food. Klinger stares at him & says, "How can you eat this slop?", & Radar replies, "It's fine, my mouth is tone deaf.".:)
To me, the funniest scene in the whole series was in Pressure Points, where Hawkeye, BJ and Charles basically destroy the Swamp. Three great actors, one continuous scene, no dialogue. It was genius!
Little known fact about radar, he has a deformed left hand that he keeps covered up as much as possible, you can sometimes catch a quick glimpse of his very tiny fingers. He’s always holding a clipboard or something. Hand in pocket etc.. I love him so much and he’s one of the best drummers to live!
This episode is Fallen Idol. This is the first episode where Frank Burns isn't part of the show in some capacity. Last episode with Frances Fong as Rosie
In fact the MASH TV series is a lucky mix out of two cult films. ´ a( MASH the movie from 1970 which was almost a sadonical Satire and b) BATTLE CIRCUS a movie about a physician and a nurse in the Korean War with Humphrey Bogart. That one was had a more seriously done concept. but many ideas from that forgotten Blockbuster also went into the MASH series.
@@jonnnyren6245 Hollywood is doing far too many reboots now, instead of coming up with new ideas. I don't even need all my fingers on one hand to count the reboots that have been worthwhile (TV series and movies).
As I watch this on RUclips, on TV Radar is smoking a cigar and counting money. TV Radar is sometime in season 2. Radar in this clip above is post season 5. Little wonder Gary Burghoff left - his character kept getting ever more younger, naive, and virginal, even as the actor playing him aged.
Radar in seasons 1 and 2 was a hustler. He played cards, would drink beer, smoke cigars and could routinely beat the system. He even dismantled a jeep and sent it home piece by piece. He also did manage to get laid a few times.
Personally, I don't mind the more natïve version of Radar, but I do think the character would have been more interesting if the writers combined aspects of his earlier and later appearances. He is a hustler when it comes to his job but has a big heart and will do literally anything for those he cares about.
I recently was driving across the U.S. and I detoured out of the way to go through Ottumwa. It was more industrial than I imagined. It's not as agricultural as the rest of Iowa.
The 80's Farm crisis really drove home to Iowa the reality that you can't base your the majority of your industrial base on agriculture anymore. Modern Iowa cities are surprisingly business diverse, & even many small towns too. Many of the city stockyards are greatly reduced or gone, & small specialized businesses, including manufacturing, are popping up in small towns.
My wife #3 told me she went to see "Mesh the Movie" just after she became an RN (valedictorian of her large class). She said she felt the movie was so insulting to the medical profession that she walked out before the end. She said it didn't take long working as an RN before Mesh became her MOST favorite sitcom. She retired in 2017 after years as Director of Surgery in several major hospitals and now does VERY well paid contract work at various hospitals.
The classroom ideal & the workplace reality are miles apart, at least when she was attending school. Now, the better teachers, if they are veterans in the industry, will give you the real poop on what it's really like. Better someone drop out before they get started, rather than risk them falling apart on a career they're not ready for. Many cops in the 50's & 60's said the Police Academy didn't begin to prepare you for the realities of the job, & it winnowed out a lot of people the hard way.
Hawkeye's right, you know. How it doesn't matter. Every boy thinks losing his virginity will change everything. Well, it does and it doesn't. When it happens, you realise that you're still the same person. The main thing that changes is that you're no longer treating sex like such a big deal.
The amazing thing about M.A.S.H was, that it was formatted in 1945 Korea and to this day anyone who served in the military can relate to the show. The other amazing fact was, it's called a comedy but it can run the gambit of emotions in one show and still not lose the magic that made it so special.....
The Korean war started in 1950. WWII was just wrapping up in 1945. I would bet money that you have no idea when the US civil war took place 🤔?? Amazing.
Oddly, one of the only other shows/movies that could make me laugh and cry simultaneously was Guardians of the Galaxy 2, during Yondu's sacrifice when Starlord realizes that Ego may have been his father, but Yondu was his dad and truly shaped him into the man he grew up to be even though they shared no DNA.
Ah M*A*S*H, the only TV show in the 1970's about the Korean War where fraternization between Officers and Enlisted ranks was not only tolerated, it was encouraged lol.
I always thought that Gary Burghoff had played RADAR extremly well. I was really surprised when I found that clip on RUclips that his type had been modled after an authentic American soldier from those days. Compare on RUclips: Radar O´Reilly of M.A.S.H, put on the Net by mbwebgrad08 From a German perspective the spelling of Burghoff with double " F " is fancy but this turns up in a lot of German family names due to the GERMAN KANZELEISCHRIFT ( = official standard German spelling between the 15th and 19th century, before the first dictionaries became populare like the German Dictionary by the Brother´s Grimm and the nowdays used DUDEN ( done by the Swizz Professor Duden for the German Reich )
I think the laugh track helps with the earlier sessions but is better without it later on. Now that I think about it, the moment Frank leaves and Winchester arrives feels like the best time to turn the laugh track off. The show outgrew the laugh track by then and the tone didn't really fit it from then on.
Yeah, the german dub never had the laughtrack to begin with. Except in the scenes where they sung and it wasn't dubbed and you could hear the fake laughter. As a kid i always felt this show having a laugh track was one of the most pointless things ever. M*A*S*H really is intended to be watched without the canned laughter.
In the original movie, the character of Radar was a sneaky, scheming, but likable little army reg. who knew how to play the game. I liked that Radar much better than than the wimpy one in the TV series.
@@stephenwright8824 The change to Radar's personality was actually Burghoff's idea. He saw that the other characters underwent a personality shift from the movie to the show, and he decided to shift along with them. He saw the other characters were taking a jaded or cynical view of things, and he decided to make contrast by providing an innocent, child-like view.
@@stevenm3823 I'm a Navy vet and I can confirm your analysis. Well, to be fair, the Intelligence divisions of the military are often quite good at their jobs. It's what the military DOES with that information that is beyond comprehension.
@@xaenon I'm sure they are...my observation comes from just being at the unit level and having to put up with years of a "if it makes sense you better not be caught doing it" mentality from the so called "leadership" in the four different units I served in during my 15 years of service.
Fallen Idol. This was an episode I wasn't too fond of at all. Radar's my favorite and then seeing him get wounded was sad and then Hawkeye and Radar yelling at each other was just as hard to watch, this episode felt more like a daytime soap opera.
I've seen Alda talk about this episode. They felt they needed to confront the alcoholism depicted on the show (which of course was a real issue in the real war). They never knew when casualties would arrive, so there was never a safe time to become inebriated. I agree it was hard to watch. I was still a child when I watched it, and I remember the impression that this and other episodes made on me, quite vividly.
This is past season 4 episode 3 and before season 7 so it’s either season 4-6 Season 7 is when radar leaves and season 4 is when honnycut comes in the show
This episode was the one where Radar gets hurt and blames Hawkeye. I love the episode where Hawkeye trades Henry's desk for some penisilin. It flies of in the distance by helicopter. The look on their faces is priceless.
Radar never blamed Hawkeye! He went on a bender out of guilt! Potter reprimanded him twice! They had a blowout then made up over beer and Nehi, which they swapped!
@@KT72273 No he didn't. Radar said to Hawkeye before he left that he was a virgin. Hawkeye said go to Tokyo and have a great time. When Radar got hurt on his return Hawkeye got angry at Radar because Radar looked up to Hawkeye but Hawkeye didn't want him looking up to him.

"Are you sure its not from my congressman?"

@@stephenwright8824 The change to Radar's personality was actually Burghoff's idea. He saw that the other characters underwent a personality shift from the movie to the show, and he decided to shift along with them. He saw the other characters were taking a jaded or cynical view of things, and he decided to make contrast by providing an innocent, child-like view.
Poor radar
Radar looks similar to Buzzy from the Disney Epcot attraction Cranium Command. It's so sexy.
Great scene
Yikes. What Hawkeye recommended is rather disturbing
The episode where Hawkeye's advice gets Radar wounded, and puts a strain on their friendship.
0:05-0:20 me everytime I talk to a cute girl lol
Same here.
Me too
Always wondered why Radar, such a fine and dependable company clerk, was not promoted to Sergeant, and Klinger was.
To answer that, you'd have to understand how the military thinks. And to accomplish THAT, you've have to be quite literally insane.
@@xaenon I'm an Army veteran and I can tell you for sure that the term "military intelligence" is the most famous (and true) oxymoron.
@@stevenm3823 I'm a Navy vet and I can confirm your analysis.
Well, to be fair, the Intelligence divisions of the military are often quite good at their jobs. It's what the military DOES with that information that is beyond comprehension.
@@xaenon I'm sure they are...my observation comes from just being at the unit level and having to put up with years of a "if it makes sense you better not be caught doing it" mentality from the so called "leadership" in the four different units I served in during my 15 years of service.
i always guessed he was too useful in his current position
Radar is lucky to have friends like Hawkeye and BJ. When he gets back from soul, the two doctors can treat him for "the clap."
The censors said that he couldn't use the word virgin on tv
And he didn't need to. Subtlety is an art form.
As the show got more popular, they were allowed to get away with more and more.
Oreochan; I've heard that word used on MASH, so if true, it must have been in the early episodes. Or you're just talkin' out your ass.
Man on a MISSION? LOLOL!!!!
I gotta say I used to relate to Radar
Yes you babysat me , I was a POW BEFORE
What's the trouble Andy? Andy Hardy. Mikey Rooney short short guy made about 12 movies about Andy Hardy and his constant problems with girls.
Fallen Idol. This was an episode I wasn't too fond of at all. Radar's my favorite and then seeing him get wounded was sad and then Hawkeye and Radar yelling at each other was just as hard to watch, this episode felt more like a daytime soap opera.
Yeah, I think that Radar was hard on Hawkeye. Hawkeye was supposed to save lives not be somebody for Radar to admire and look up to. 😕
@@Ciara1594 I agree, I felt that Radar was too hard on Hawkeye and overreacted as well, then the whole camp getting on Hawkeye was stupid.
I've seen Alda talk about this episode. They felt they needed to confront the alcoholism depicted on the show (which of course was a real issue in the real war). They never knew when casualties would arrive, so there was never a safe time to become inebriated. I agree it was hard to watch. I was still a child when I watched it, and I remember the impression that this and other episodes made on me, quite vividly.
It's also unfortunate that Radar gets shot when he's trying to get lucky. It could only happen to a virtuous Iowa far boy.
Radar was from the movie
What episode is this?
There is a Korean prison camp for this series just as of Stalag 13 during WW2.
2:20 that laugh sounds like Frank
What episode is the very first scene from?
I'm very concerned about something that concerns my life here.
This is past season 4 episode 3 and before season 7 so it’s either season 4-6 Season 7 is when radar leaves and season 4 is when honnycut comes in the show
Hunnicut
This is season 6 episode 2 "Fallen Idol"
It was trapper who left
@@vamplestat666 Trapper left after season 3 and Radar left after season 7.
Its ok Radar I wasn't a goodboy in France either only because I have never been to France.
This was a sad episode. Just because radar got hurt and how Hawkeye blamed himself.
Robin Riker ❤️
Yes, i have something 10 you"
HULU streams all episodes of MASH. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
postman radar
Slaking.
Radar is champ
Ewww you can see radars flipper hand holding the letters.
where can I see this series?
Hulu has all 11 seasons including the 2 hour series finale "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen"
@@PlumbPitiful Thx
Does anybody know how radar lost the tips of his fingers ?
0:13 ❤ 0:14
This episode was the one where Radar gets hurt and blames Hawkeye. I love the episode where Hawkeye trades Henry's desk for some penisilin. It flies of in the distance by helicopter. The look on their faces is priceless.
🤣🤣 So good
Radar never blamed Hawkeye! He went on a bender out of guilt! Potter reprimanded him twice! They had a blowout then made up over beer and Nehi, which they swapped!
@@KT72273 No he didn't. Radar said to Hawkeye before he left that he was a virgin. Hawkeye said go to Tokyo and have a great time. When Radar got hurt on his return Hawkeye got angry at Radar because Radar looked up to Hawkeye but Hawkeye didn't want him looking up to him.
This really made Hawkeye feel really bad I would have drunk myself silly to
🥰🥰🥰
It’s season 6 episode 3
I thought it was episode 2.
fallen idoi was season 6 the season when the show changed
Yeah, it was going more serious.
fever. fever. pac man fever maybe.
I’d rather be Cupid, so I can scare Klinger.
