In 6 days it is 10 years since McLean Stevenson died.
Yeah.. But I meant that "I have no words" only good impression.
Not preachy at all, honest.
I'm impressed that after all this time, being away from the character
as long as you have been, to be able to hit a home run.
bravo, Sir!

The truth is, l have never been (nor probably ever will be) very far
from these sharacters.

I will rework it as soon as l find the time. Thanks for your
expertise.

...simple.
That's why I love first seasons.
Absolutely.. agree. They are perfect and simple.
What's a matter with you,ls, you become preachy.
Just wonderful, Larry. Put a tear in my eye.

Thanks, Larry! I'm keeping this.
It's beautiful, Larry. Thanks!
Leslie,it's not so bad. Don't worry.
I completly disagree - a recent discussion about Henry & the Mayo Clinic,
even that part was so well played by Mac, that one scene & Radars
announcement are probably the two scenes that could bring me to tears...
Henry was a bumbler but only when he was panicing (the court marshall & such
like) when he was being himself (the one where they watch the home movie,
and Deal me out etc etc) he was just a normal person... look at Klinger
during the Interview, nothing like his character running around and such
like... it was a more normal quieter,

> HENRY: Around here laughter's just crying without the tears.
I think I'm going to cry...or laugh...
Larry, I hope you used this line somewhere else cause it's too good to
waste on us.

PS: Would it be greedy to ask for a Hot Lips interview? We never got
one in your original show.
Yep, that is most definately a keeper if ever there was one. It's almost
like discovering a lost episode. Is Elsig the best or what? What other tv
newsgroup has a writer doing stuff like this. Damn, we're lucky.

Gazzoo:
Nothing's too good for this NG.
I'll try to do one for HL later on.

I agree!
For me it sounded like Henry,only Henry. New( because It never
happened),but Henry indeed. Amazing work, Larry.
It got me crying a bit and smiling too...when I try to imagine
this scene.
Why not? He might have been somewhat less than a stellar CO, but that
doesn't mean he wasn't educated.
>and Stevenson wasn't that
> good of an actor to pull it off....
We have a difference of opinion here. Remember, this episode, The Interview,
was one, if not the only, episode that was, to an extent, unscripted as far
as the answers go. Mac could very well have answered these questions as Mac
and not Henry. The only person that was never "at ease" with his performance
was Mac himself. Everyone else thought he did a fine job, as do I.
"You have to know the actor can make
> the scene work, or you rework the scene."
You're telling this to one man who, for those three years working with Mac,
did nothing but eat, sleep and drink the characters.
"I loved whoever I was writing for. Each was rich in characteristics, each
had a different point of view, each had a different background. It was nice
to be able to skip from one to the other, and I didn't favor one over the
other. Well, perhaps Hawkeye, making him my microphone in a way."
(Yet to be published interview from 1/20/04)
Fluff and mugging? Never heard that before.

It came across to me as more of a later season Henry... More of how he
was in season 3... More of being educated like and not just a few word
answers or fumbling for words...
On a side note... I'm almost done with 'Wired' and will be starting
your book next from our last discussion about Belushi... I read the
chapter about what happen with Neighbors and I was just shaking my
head in amazement on what you had to be thinking when all of that was
going on...
Interview for Margaret and interview for HL - probably different...i
think
I agree with Mark

It would be very interesting to hear Hot Lips interview.
Incidentally, l have never used that line before.
LG
Please remind me where and when l said about Mac, "fluff and mugging is
what he did best."
LG
Try listening to it in Henry's voice as you read.

Well, that's appropriate in its way. Presumably in an alternate universe
where McLean and Wayne both stayed at least one more year, that
wouldn't've had an effect on whether Loretta took the leave of absence she
took.
Gelbart never said that.
You are the best. I still cry when I see some older MASH shows and am
amazed at the language and brilliance of the words you wrote. Thinking
TV is sadly gone today and my kids will never know what it is like to
sit down and watch All in the Family, MASH, Mary Tyler Moore, Bob
Newhart and Carol Burnett like I did with my parents. That was MUST SEE
TV.
LG
Apparently they whispered...
No,really. SM. I think it's hard to write interview for Margaret. You
shoul think
like a women a bit.
You doing very good.
l hesitate editing in a public forum.
l'm impressed by your industry and application.

elsig, thank you so very much for this. As many others have noted it's
a rare treat to see someone of your status do something like this and
we really do appreciate it.
All the best,
