I love watching M*A*S*H, it has to be one of the greatest series ever made. It can make you laugh, cry and feel humble, all in the same episode. I can watch it time and time again.

Swayze was a great actor. I liked him in Ghost and the miniseries North and South.

ErsatzWizard46974, I understand that the very lovely Alex Trebek, host of Jeopardy, announced that he had stage 4 pancreatic cancer.

Swayze was a fantastic dancer and actor, and yep, he sang quite well too! I watched an interview with him and his wife (now widow), Lisa Niemi, after he had been ill for quite some time after his diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, which he battled for roughly 3 years. Their love for one another was deep, abiding and inspiring. For having
married as young as
they did, they had a
strong marriage...a
rarity in Hollywood. I was saddened when he died. But, he lives on forever in his films.

ErsatzWizard46974, I hope Alex trebeck can beat it.

When I started watching the series, coincidentally, I was stationed there! I have watched each episode at least 25 times! No surprise ending anymore! It ended with an incredible finale.

I had no idea he was on an episode. I would’ve that he would be too young back in the day.

Loved him in Dirty Dancing and Ghost. Died too young.

Danny's Boy, Snake Pliskin does rule, but he was played by Kurt Russell, not Patrick S.

My daddy was also a victim of pancreatic cancer, diagnosed in late April 2003 and left this earth on June 10, 2003 at age 69. He's terribly missed.

ErsatzWizard46974, I, too, lost my mother to this terrible cancer and she went much too fast, about two months.
Player #4250921
I remember the episode. Swayze's character wouldn't leave the Mash to get treatment because he was helping a buddy who was being treated there.
