Aw, man... 96, not bad at all.
So much that he did so well,but I don't know if anyone could play the drunk as hilariously as he could.
I enjoyed seeing him in that MASH reunion special that was put together a few years ago. I knew he had to be up there. He certainly still had his wit! And you could see how highly everyone there thought of him.
Can't forget his Dragnet days either!
Anyway, I just loved how he could flip from the humor to the drama so well.
I'm trying to find this little speech/soliloquy that he had on MASH that hits home every time I see it... Damn you, youtube...
Thank you, Harry Morgan!!

I know as a Medic in a time of war, I myself have felt the same way at times.
Willpower has more passive regen than Regen does. Who thought that was a good idea?
Can we get a fix for Energy Melee instead of more new sets?

R.I.P good sir and thank you.

Every time I watch that scene, I think, "Eh, maybe this is going to be a little cheesier than I remember", but then his performance kicks my ***.
Awesome. Thank you, Mr. Morgan!

What can I say but:
One of the goofy side-effects of spending a year over in Korea with the Army was that I understood ALL of the references in M-A-S-H afterward.

An actor with an incredibly long career and his resume would put most modern day actors to shame. You will be missed, sir.

I know that BJ, Hawkeye, Radar, Major Burns, Hotlips, Klinger, Major Windchester and some others are in the Swamp, drinking one on the Col.
Rest in Peace

"There are two rules in war they taught me at command school, rule #1 is that young men die in a war and rule #2 is that doctors cannot change rule #1".
Col. Potter was an excellent replacement for Col. Blake but I liked both characters as well.
RIP Col. Potter! Salutes...... now lets head to the Swamp for a toast to his memory...

Yeah most of the series is in my DVD library...I should see about getting the rest or else the entire box set. Though when RADAR left in mid Season 8, to me that was when most of the heart or innocence left the show. Imagine if Alan Alda/Hawkeye left.....that would have shut it down.

I actually wonder how the show would of turned out if none left. Would of been completely different for sure, and I wonder if it would have lasted as long if they didnt.

I don't think it would have ran as long. Gary Burghoff was getting weary of being RADAR plus a few other things as I recall and he decided it was time to go. Wayne Rogers was tired of being second string to Hawkeye plus a few other things and left, can't remember why McLean Stevenson left but I always suspected there was some spite on the part of the writers/producers for the last minute dialog change that said he was killed.

Jeez, hope i make it 96 years.
So now comes the inevitable question: who was better, Lt. Colonel Henry Blake or Colonel Potter?
Both were good surgeons and doctors, but Blake's leadership at times....well sometimes I think he was walking around with a constant concussion when he was sober. Hawkeye also noticed that Blake was starting to show signs of arthritis and offered to write up the medical discharge forms but Blake told him he can do more doctoring at the 4077th then he ever could at home since his patients at home were all basic text book cases, no challenges. So Blake had an out and didn't take it.
Colonel Potter was a career army man with plenty of stories to tell and a whole lot of experience as a leader. He also wasn't fooled like Blake was when RADAR would come up to him while he's on the phone and gets him to sign forms and then Potter tells him to wait and after the call he asks what he just signed. Also Potter didn't take a fraction of the insubordinate behavior from Frank and Hot Lips that Blake did. Potter even told Hawkeye once that he was thinking of taking Frank behind the motor pool and "let the air out of his tire" so Potter definitely didn't take any guff, he even stood his ground against Col. Flagg.
Harry Morgan, better know as Col. Sherman Potter passed away today at 96.
Thank you for all the laughs, and R.I.P. Col you've earned it.
