M*A*S*H (television)/Characters: Difference between revisions

Played by McLean Stevenson. The [[Mildly Military]] commander of the 4077th for the first three seasons. Almost always seen with a fishing hat (with lures that made any salute attempt risk a Purple Heart), he was from Bloomington, Illinois. He tried his best to keep the camp running, although between Burns, Houlihan, Hawkeye, and Radar ... well, OKokay, Radar's goal was to keep the camp running, too.

* [[Actor -Shared Background]]: Sort of. McLean Stevenson was from Normal, Illinois, the twin city to Bloomington.

* [[Colonel Badass]]: Without a doubt, he is NOT''not'' one of these, and acknowledges as much himself. Hawkeye once mused privately that he could be arrested for impersonating an officer.

* [[A Father to His Men]]: Especially Radar, who actually regresses slightly after Henry is gone.

* [[That Came Out Wrong]]: Is apparently incapable of opening his mouth to an authority figure without either revealing too much information or dropping an [[Accidental Innuendo]].
