Alan Alda is a beautiful person. Read his 1st book while taking a holiday in Lake Garda, loved the holiday and really loved his life story. Saw him on 30 rock and he is blended in so well .His happy personality is contagious.
I like that even though he was exposed to things at such a young age. hes managed to maintain a healthy loving marriage for a large portion of his life. Such an achievement.
He always says he doesnt want to talk politics but yet as soon as he sees something stupid he just cant resist the urge to give a lesson in common sense.
He always makes me feel good. I see his face or hear his voice or watch his acting or read his writing and I feel better. He makes us see the possibilities of life.
alan alda is one of my favorite actors I know he doesn't act anymore but he is my favorite up with john wayne and a person that lives in the same town as I do the great JAMIE FARR if you don't know who he is look him up NOW!!!!!!
I am so grateful to this man, and his father, Robert Alda. As a Pianist and a lover of Gershwin, Robert Alda's expose' of George Gershwin captured my heart and my ear and I play (or try to play) Gershwin whenever I can. As a doctor in MASH, Alan Alda had such an impact on my daughter, that after college, she became a NY City EMT and worked in China as well in a Leprosy village. I thank these to men for the blessing they were to my family.
You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover is yourself. ~Alan Alda
@frosty92314 For me it's not so much I'm sad its over, but more I'm happy that people even today find it a good show which tells me that ppl will be watching mash for a long long time to come . :) . It's just one of those cult classics to me . A hidden cult classic known only to ppl like u and me . But Im fortunate enough to ahve the entire DVD set . :) .
You've taken enough shit in your life? Well poor baby, who HASN'T? The reason I'm skeptical about you being grateful for Mr. Alda because you haven't given me a decent reason. What, did he save your life? Bail you out of jail? Crucified for your sins? What?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Can Mr. Alda walk on water too?
Anyway, yes I admit at times I do talk alot, but answer me this: WHY did they dedicate an entire episode of M*A*S*H to JUST Hawkeye JUST talking?? In all previous episodes he never shuts up, so why did they allow for an episode with no story, no plot, JUST Alda talking??
He says it exactly as it is. We are getting too many politicans that's aren't qualified. I've often wondered how professional military people can take orders from civilians who have no professional experiance in military affairs. Alan A has always seemed a very honest, down to earth person.
he barely looks different, the only distinguishing feature of his changed look from mash is the grey & somewhat lost hair since mash, skin features changed but now he still looks very similar ti when he was "Hawkeye"
I love Alan Alda, he is great in M*A*S*H, I have them on DVD's... and the first book, I also have, the first real english book I have read since school...
Alan Alda, The only piece of his work I seen was M*A*S*H. Does that mean I don't understand him? Nope. I've seen various remembrance tapes with the cast together and a clip of him with Carol Brunette. I find Alan Alda to be extremely humble and he seems to be like the type of guy we will miss if he ever does die. Kinda like Don Knotts, Harvey Korman, and Lucille Ball.
For a long time I just thought of Alan Alda as "the guy who played Hawkeye". But after reading his books, and learning about his life, I have to say, he is SO much more than Hawkeye. It's a miracle the guy survived his childhood, but he's come through it all with such a great attitude. Now when I think of Alan Alda, I think of the sweet, genuine, intelligent, humble man, and not the character he played decades ago.
It's one of the best M*A*S*H Tribute vids and my favorite vid on YouTube. And opposites attract! What the fuck do you have against Alan Alda anyway? You always bash him!!
Yet that was an underlying thing for the Whole show. It's always shown throughout the series that Hawkeye respects but also seems to have a crush on Margret. Watch Season 1- 11 and you'll see it too.
haha he is my best guy freind's grandfather. =) My freind is also an amaizing actor. he plated julian marsh in 42nd street this summer at my town theatre. =) alan came to see it, and all the parents were like "OMG ITS ALAN ALDA!" haha sweet guy.
I love that joke he makes about the surgical procedure and how he learned it on mash it really brought out the hawkeye in him.I'm glad he's still working and I loved his character on the west wing!a truly great actor
my real name is dr alfonso dabruttzo , lost in dr freud , the hills of bev omg, so korea makes me weak, it got so bad my wink eye intermittent truth of socratic oath alone no you wont oh an end to an end kiierkegaard ffs
I've always wondered how old he is now. Which makes me wonder how many he's got left, which I don't want to think about. MASH is a timeless classic that will live on forever, and so would Alda's reputation. Long live Alda! Long live MASH!
If you love the charactor Hawkeye on MASH, then you HAVE to read Alan Alda's books.They are great!! Long live MASH!!The best TV show in the universe!No matter how old! :)
MASH was great but it did go on 2 or 3 seasons too long. I would have called it a day at the end of the 70's (after about the 8th season). There were no more new characters introduced by then and the stories were getting quite mawkish.
what an amazing actor,Mash is my fav.show i have bought all the seasons on dvd all 11(yeah expensive)but totally worth it.and have read his books really good reads.
Baby killer? For fucks sake it was a t.v. show get over it, it wasn't real. He went crazy on the show you moron and he also suffered for it on the show, great acting if you ask me.
Alan Alda is one of the best actors ive ever watched and seen!i love hid original show M*A*S*H*, and hes a very flexible actor he has a sad side, a funny side, and everything inbetween. Thanks for the entertainment Alan!I hope to see you in the movie.
Baby killer?I have been reading these comments and I am confused.Probably because I have not seen all the episodes of this show.Which episode are you all refering to and how do the things he does on TV make him a bad person?I don't see the connection.
He purposely had it wrote in his contract that one scene in every episode had to be in the operating room during a surgery to show the atrocity's of war, if thats bad then what is good.
ExplorerDS6789 you can call him a horrible person all you want but a person who flies from NJ to LA and back every weekend for the sake of his kids doesn't sound so horrible to me. Second if you don't like him shut up, stop trying to stir up shit and watch something else.

I think Alan's surgeon should've said, "alright, smart guy, YOU perform the operation". If he had passed away from that inflammation, it still wouldn't change my feelings about him today. McLean Stevenson is dead and I don't feel all that sorry for him playing an insufferable IDIOT.
I have a question for everyone who has read the comments posted by ExplorerDS6789. Do you think this person is not only an asshole for insulting Alan Alda & M*A*S*H* but they also need to get a life? Please let me know.
Aaahh. I love Alan Alda! I'm only 14 & I fin dhim such a fantastic Actor. He was SOOO handsome in his younger days- I had the biggest crush on his... younger self x] Haha
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
MASH was an ENSAMBLE show. It took the efforts of the entire cast to make it work. It was not The Alan Alda Show, even though that's probably what they were going for.
love alan alda and MASH- i read both his books and i highly recomend them. The first is about his life and the second is about the meaning of life- both very well written, very intriguing novels, and i'm really not a big reader.... only books i read last year were his.

Is that so, Triscuit? Allow me to point out some episodes that did NOT involve O.R. and surgery: "Picture This", "Hawkeye", "The Bus".

ExplorerDS6789 you can call him a horrible person all you want but a person who flies from NJ to LA and back every weekend for the sake of his kids doesn't sound so horrible to me. Second if you don't like him shut up, stop trying to stir up shit and watch something else.

Okay, so Alda's a prime candidate for father of the year, but that still doesn't change what he did on TV in front of MILLIONS of people.

I think Alan's surgeon should've said, "alright, smart guy, YOU perform the operation". If he had passed away from that inflammation, it still wouldn't change my feelings about him today. McLean Stevenson is dead and I don't feel all that sorry for him playing an insufferable IDIOT.

whats wrong with you judging someone for playing a role on television how rude can you be.

Hey, nobody forced him to say and do those things. He's a big star, he could've changed anything he wanted.

I have a question for everyone who has read the comments posted by ExplorerDS6789. Do you think this person is not only an asshole for insulting Alan Alda & M*A*S*H* but they also need to get a life? Please let me know.

But does that mean he had to be in EVERY episode and have about 92% of all the plots centered around him?!

After hearing him ramble on and on, the mood quickly becomes tedium.

MASH was an ENSAMBLE show. It took the efforts of the entire cast to make it work. It was not The Alan Alda Show, even though that's probably what they were going for.

love alan alda and MASH- i read both his books and i highly recomend them. The first is about his life and the second is about the meaning of life- both very well written, very intriguing novels, and i'm really not a big reader.... only books i read last year were his.

This guy is a horrible interviewer. He comes across too phony. He needs to relax and stop thinking about his reactions and the fucking camera.
