Ha ha yeah that's because you're old and cynical. But I remember watching guy on whom Radar was based on saying that he also didn't particularly like that and that he thinks ESP doesn't exist
And also actor that played Radar is some JW and not very lovable.
BTW I see there are fans of MASH here but did anyone ever watch "After MASH" and/ or "Trapper John, M.D."?
Of course the people we see in media, even stage comedians or musicians are not always the act we love. I know Pat Benatar, while she played great music really didn't like smoozing with fans. Not that she didn't like them, but she simply wanted to wind down after work. It does not surprise me that the actor who played Radar was a JW. But outside the BULLSHIT ESP motif of the character. I did love Radar(the character)'s kindness.
After MASH if I am guessing correctly was a short lived show about Klinger and Potter? That didn't last but a couple years.
I never got into Trapper John though.
Thanks for posting that video. And no I am not cynical. I simply have a good bullshit detector. It's called skepticism. Glad to know the real guy Radar was based on also didn't like that. Thanks for posting it.
