Many shocking deaths have taken place in television history including M*A*S*H’s Henry Blake and Knots Landing’s Sid Fairgate. However, even though we know George Cooper, Sr., played by Lance Barber, is likely to kick the bucket in the final season of Young Sheldon, we’re still going to be very sorry to see him go. Sheldon (Jim Parsons) didn’t paint the most flattering picture of his late dad on The Big Bang Theory. In fact, he rarely described his father in flattering terms, recalling such instances of his dad forcing to him watch football and teaching him how to shoot close enough to a raccoon that it “craps itself.” As far Sheldon was concerned, his dad would fit right in with Homer Simpson and Peter Griffin. However, our memories aren’t always fully accurate. In the able hands of both the Young Sheldon creative team and Barber,...

"M*A*S*H" star Loretta Swit didn't always have the easiest time as the only main female star of the series; her character was often underwritten early on and she was frustrated with the way her story ended. It's no surprise, then, that she was interested when she had the opportunity to leave "M*A*S*H" for another series where she would have a bigger role. Unfortunately for Swit (and luckily for the rest of us), the folks at 20th Century Fox shut down that idea faster than Hawkeye making a beeline for a new hot nurse.
Basically Swit was forbidden from leaving "M*A*S*H," despite the fact that many of her fellow early season co-stars had already left, but that's show business for you! By the final few seasons, Swit's character Margaret Houlihan and Alan Alda's Hawkeye were the only characters left from the beginning of the show,...

Wild audition stories are a dime a dozen in Hollywood, but McLean Stevenson's "M*A*S*H" casting is one of the stranger bits of classic sitcom mythology. According to casting director Eddie Foy III (per MeTV), the actor who would go on to play beloved buffoon Colonel Henry Blake for three seasons of the long-running series first earned the part in an especially roundabout way. The casting department didn't simply have Stevenson audition but instead put him in an entirely different TV movie to get him on executive producer Gene Reynolds' radar.
"I remember McLean Stevenson, I got McLean to do [the series]," Foy recalled in an interview with the Archive of American Television. "In fact," he continued, "we snuck him in on a picture called 'Mr. and Mrs. Bo Jo Jones,' where he played an eccentric minister, and we showed it to Gene Reynolds. He said, 'I love the guy.

Sudden success is a hell of a drug. Be it entertainment, sports, or certain, shockingly competitive sectors of the healthcare industry, you can count on numerous fast risers to get high on their own supply and take an ego-fueled torch to their career.
Television actors are especially susceptible to these vain slip-ups, and it's easy to understand why. Before the advent of prestige TV, the small-screen medium was, particularly for young-ish performers, viewed as a potential springboard to big-screen stardom. Sometimes it works out. Chevy Chase bolted from "Saturday Night Live" midway through its second season and instantly became a movie star on the strength of his work in Colin Higgins' sporadically hilarious "Foul Play" (even though he's far from the funniest element of the film). And sometimes you're David Caruso, who quit "NYPD Blue" to topline a pair of 1995 flops in Barbet Schroder's "Kiss of Death" (underrated) and William Friedkin's "Jade".

For a television series that ranked in the Nielsen ratings' top ten for nine of its 11 seasons, "M*A*S*H" experienced a surprising amount of cast turnover. McLean Stevenson (Henry Blake) and Wayne Rogers (Trapper John McIntyre) departed after the third season, and these were huge losses (the manner in which Stevenson was written out of the show angered fans and CBS executives alike). But the producers deftly assuaged viewers concerns by promoting Jamie Farr's cross-dressing Corporal Klinger and hiring Harry Morgan to play the gruff but fair Colonel Sherman T. Potter.
The next significant loss arrived at the end of the fifth season, when Larry Linville exited the series. This left the "M*A*S*H" team with the difficult task of finding an actor capable of playing a pompous walking bulls-eye on par with Linville's Frank Burns. Some of the show's biggest laughs erupted from the company's gleeful tormenting of the humorless surgeon.

The old saw that holds "drama is easy, comedy is hard" typically refers to the fact that it is extremely difficult to actually be funny. Obviously, engaging an audience on stage or through a theater/television screen is a challenge regardless of the genre, but there's a particular skill to getting a laugh (i.e. timing) that some people simply don't possess.
And some actors are so skilled at this craft that their co-stars occasionally have a hard time keeping it together in the moment.
There are loads of stories out there about actors who were just so effortlessly funny that cast and crew members had a hard time holding it together while shooting a scene. It should come as no surprise that Robin Williams was especially adept at this. Directors aren't always as amused as everyone else, as it's their job to make sure they get at least one...

Robert Altman's "M*A*S*H" was a New Hollywood sensation upon its release in 1970. It announced Altman as one of the most exciting filmmakers in Hollywood, and turned Elliott Gould and Donald Sutherland into A-list movie stars. Several of the supporting cast — namely Robert Duvall, Sally Kellerman, and Tom Skerritt — got a career boost as well. So when Larry Gelbart sold CBS on the idea of a sitcom adaptation of the material two years later, these actors were far too prominent to reprise their roles in the series (it's worth noting that television was considered small time in relation to movies back then).
Gary Burghoff was a different story. As Corporal Walter "Radar" O'Reilly, the diminutive Burghoff didn't pop on your first viewing of the movie. He darted to and fro in the background, but never strayed too far from his superior, Lieutenant Colonel Henry Blake (Roger Blake). Radar didn't participate in the company's shenanigans,...

A family adventure comedy has topped the 2023 edition of The Brit List, the U.K.’s version of The Black List for unproduced scripts.

"Suits" is one of the unlikeliest TV hits of 2023 -- mostly, because it ended its original run back in 2019. Given new life on Netflix, it's a show that has captivated audiences like no other, in part due to its episodic storytelling, and hundreds of episodes. The cast of "Suits" included the likes of Meghan Markle, Wendell Pierce and Gina Torres, and was known for shocking twists and turns that helped sustain the story for over so many episodes.
While "Suits" wasn't the kind of show to start suddenly killing off characters, there were a few big name departures, -- like Markle, who departed for royal reasons, and Gina Torres, who made her departure from the show after season 7 due to her busy schedule. Torres played Jessica Pearson, who started out as a diversity hire at Gordon Schmidt Van Dyke before eventually becoming the managing partner of Pearson Specter Litt. In...

The classic CBS sitcom "M*A*S*H" earned a reputation early on for not shying away from the harsh realities of war. In most cases, the series' skillful writers, led by Larry Gelbart, gracefully integrated these jarring moments into the show's laugh-heavy fabric. But when Gelbart and company killed off the well-liked Lieutenant Colonel Henry Blake (McLean Stevenson) at the end of the third season's finale, they received a raft of outraged responses from the network and television viewers.
Sitcoms weren't supposed to go this hard. At their best, they were 30-minute joy machines that allowed working people an escape from the drudgeries of the day. "M*A*S*H" was one of the most reliable shows in this regard when the finale aired on March 18, 1975. Most viewers knew Stevenson was leaving the show, but they were probably expecting a wistfully fond farewell. And while certain journalists, like Gary Deeb of the Chicago Tribune, had...

It's easy to take the television version of "M*A*S*H" for granted. Based on Robert Altman's raucous New Hollywood comedy, the series gracefully sanded down the film's problematic edges and presented a more bracingly humanistic view of combat medical personnel struggling to maintain their sanity while watching one young man after another die on their operating tables. But once the show became a Nielsen ratings juggernaut and entered syndication, it was unavoidably consumed as couch potato comfort food just like every other hit sitcom. It was a first-rate homework diversion. College kids devised drinking games around it.
And yet while most episodes of "M*A*S*H" were strictly laugh riots, the writers, led at the outset by the great Larry Gelbart (who departed the series after Season 4), never lost sight of the war in which the show was set (nor the ongoing war it was often commenting on). This wasn't "Hogan's Heroes.

Alan Alda is looking back on one of the most emotional scenes that occurred on “M*A*S*H”‘s 11-season run.
In honour of the show’s 50th anniversary on Sept. 17- exactly 50 years since the first episode premiered on Sept. 17, 1972- Alda reflected on an unexpected scene that “shocked the audience,” telling The New York Times it was when Colonel Henry Blake suddenly died. The character was portrayed by late actor McLean Stevenson.
“[Co-creator Larry Gelbart] showed me the scene. I think [it was] the morning of the shoot. I knew, but nobody else knew. He wanted to get everybody’s first-time reactions,” Alda, 86, recalled. “And it really affected [co-star] Gary Burghoff on camera. I think everybody was grateful for the shock.”
