Sherman Potter

Raider O'Reilly.

And that other guy, well, he's not Colonel Potter, but wrestling history.

He's going to give you a water.

He's the one and only Nikita Brezhnekov.

Well,

Colonel Potter, I mean, because they're all partying, right? And this, I want to know how you experienced this at the last day and you're all partying.

Colonel Potter, who was, you know, you were a colonel.

But the Colonel Potter says at the end, as he's saying goodbye to the other two guys, he says, I don't think I can call what we had here fun, but I'm glad I did it with you.

Yeah.

No, that's absolutely the truth of it all.

Who do you have, Doug?

How about Colonel Potter and Radar O'Reilly?

Colonel Potter and who?

I couldn't hear.

God, I suck.

It could be.

But I remember when Colonel Potter, before he was Colonel Potter, he visited MASH as, I don't know, some other officer.

I'm just reading through the comments.

I have some fun things that I'll have to watch closer and catch some of these.

He is an amazing actor, and I'm surprised he didn't have... more legendary career as a result of that um but really the whole cast was amazing um harry morgan i said it in high noon harry morgan a young harry morgan is a trip Yeah, and he's even younger in this and even trippier.

You're so used to seeing Colonel Potter.

Even Dragnet Harry Potter.

Harry Potter.

First is Harry Morgan, who was the announcer for Mole, um, Mystery Theater," I hope I'm pronouncing that right, "which starred Peter Lorre.

Uh, then the small parts he did on other radio shows, including Dragnet, before being known first as Officer Bill Gannon in the '60s T- uh, TV series, and then as Colonel, uh, Sherman Potter on MASH.

Uh, the other is Mike Wallace of 60 Minutes, using his given name of Myron, who was the announcer for The Green Hornet and other shows, uh, of WXYZ in Detroit.

I know being a radio announcer wasn't, uh, much work unless you were Don Wilson on the Jack Benny Program, but I thought he deserved to be mentioned since usually it was a live show until audio tape was put to use by most shows.

Then we turn to YouTube, where we have a couple of comments regarding the return of Harry Morgan.

Reinser writes, "Harry Morgan plays Bill Gannon and Colonel Sherman Potter, and he was Pete in 1959 sitcom Pete and Gladys." Sayso writes, "Actually, the writers of this episode made a mistake.

The Welsh pirate's name was Henry Morgan, not Harry Morgan.

Harry Bratsberg, better known as Harry Morgan, was an up-and-coming actor at the time who is best known as Bill Gannon and Colonel Potter." Okay, first of all, I love, uh, Harry Morgan.
