5 out of 10. I even read his biography a few years back, how embarrassing

I really hate that man.
2/10 Boo to me 😎
8/10. Alan Alda over acted 2 episodes I won’t watch ever again. The sneezing one. I watched it once and had to turn the volume down. Who can possibly sneeze that loud so many times. And the concussion one where he talks throughout the whole episode. Just take a breath. I always wondered if all that gibberish was him making it up as he went or was it scripted. Either way it was bad
The only episode that I ABSOLUTELY CAN'T STAND is the one about the crossword clue of tomato juice. Drives me up a wall.
0 out of 0. I really don't care about that whiny, unfunny, man. The episodes that revolve around him are like fingernails on a chalkboard.
Alan Alda also appeared in the following classic TV shows: Sgt. Bilko, Naked City, and Route 66 (played a doctor). Why didn’t they ask me that?
Way to many M*A*S*H quizzes. Come on MeTv enough all ready!
With the extra hour at 6 and Sunday, that’s 22 episodes a week - the number in a typical season.
Yea like we need two hours of M*A*S*H every night. I t would be nice if MeTV would air Outer Limits or some other old time series. How about Mr. Ed or My favorite Martian?
Question 10 is in error - it asks which other character was in the pilot and the finale. Father Mulcahy was also in both; George Morgan portrayed him in the pilot, while William Christopher played the part in the rest of the series (including the finale). The question would've been correct if it addressed the actors rather than the characters.
5/10. Lots of guesses.
6/10. Not too bad I guess.
