It's Over, Son.

A Sentimental Journey? In tonight's episode of M*A*S*H, to boost morale, Radar hits the airwaves, and at Col. Potter's request, plays Sentimental Journey 23 times during a marathon session! But Radar isn't self-aware enough to know when short-lived career is over. Sherm has to come in and tell him. It truly is a blessing to know, for oneself, when it's over.

Alan Alda Lifetime Achievement!

Alan Alda received the Life Achievement Award from SAG-AFTRA tonight. Richly deserved. Alan WAS M*A*S*H! The depth and breadth of his acting, not to mention writing and directing simply made the show that millions watched. Watched longer than the war it was intended to depict.

Alan is 83 but the baton has already been passed. Watch Dr. Max Goodwin on NBC's New Amsterdam, played by Ryan Eggold. He embodies the same range of emotions, versatility, believability and credibility that Alan brought to the role of Captain Benjamin Franklin Pierce, M.D.
