yikes, that's almost scary... thanks though Nadia!
if he had it as a kid though... the bear would have had a name
that a *child* thought of. and not 1 out of 25 on the site were
names that a young Walter would have come up with... that's
interesting to see.

He was in a lot of shows. I've forgotten his name but nowadays he's quit

There was a big scandal between him and the Snuggle Fabric
Softener bear. Something to do with bizarre sex practices. The
Snuggle bear was quoted as saying, "That bastard ruined my life!
I will forever curse the name of (unintelligible)!" It got
settled out of court and a lot of hush money was thrown around,
but in the end, Radar's bear never really had the same magic
that caused the meteoric rise of a little show called MASH. He
died in 1993, alone and penniless of an apparent dryer lint
overdose.

So, the time capsule episode was the funeral for the bear actor.

It was recently stated on this thread or another here that it wasn't the
same bear in the time capsule episode. Perhaps the rumors of conflict
between castmembers circulating when he originally left the show are
true.

So, it was a walk-on bear.....

security blanket, I think we went too far with it and it got awfully coy.
I believe the bear made its first appearance when Radar was discovered sleeping
with when someone woke him in the middle of the night.
When we allowed him to go public with it to everyone in the camp, I think we
went too far, the device becoming far too coy.

And my all time favorite scene was when "Jesus" (was his name Capt.

blessed Radar's bear, and then Radar himself...that was the sweetest
thing
I've ever seen, especially the look on Gary Burghoff's face. Priceless.

This is similar to criticism of the character in general I remember
reading in a commentary on M*A*S*H printed shortly after Burghoff left.
I'm disinclined to agree with it, though, just because the context of the
comment was an argument that the series' cast changes and mood changes
over its history were a movement to greater maturity, and I don't agree
with that assessment of the latter years.
Hm. I've just disagreed with Larry Gelbart on alt.tv.mash ... maybe I
better hide from the other posters ...

I never thought it went too far. I thought the opportunity was
definately there for the writers to take it too far, but I don't
think they did. It's not like the bear showed up every time we
saw Radar, or it was always mentioned.

I think the first time we see Radar's bear is when Henry is
checking the camp for the missing loot that Ho-Jon stole in I
HATE A MYSTERY.

I'm at all clear about your message, but I don't think it was a sign of
maturity for Radar to share with others his immature need for his security

where exactly is the disagreement?
to bare his bear barely strayed from character. looks to me
that you agreed Radar wasn't maturing enough.
the mature thing to do would be to just grin and bear it.
does anyone know whose bear it was in real life? it's not just
some prop... it's gotta be the toy of someone's kid, seriously.
