Rest In Peace Harry Morgan

I always enjoyed his Colonel Sherman T. Potter on M*A*S*H.

RIP, Colonel Potter. My favorite character on MASH.

He was also Sargent Joe Friday's sidekick on Dragnet.

I like some of his stuff in the black and white westerns that he was in.

SWMBO is a huge MASH fan. She even has the cookbook!
This will sadden her.

I think the characters name was Bill Gannon. God speed Harry.

RIP Colonel Potter

I'm old enough to remember watching and liking December Bride and M.A.S.H. is still the best show on TV.

He also played an officer on the show that was insane a year or so before he became Pottet

I grew up on MASH. It was, and remains, one of my favorite sit-coms. Sherman T. Potter was a great character

Hate to hear that. RIP.

He had a tremendous run in Holywood starting back to the 40's and through the 90's. He was in so many things such as the Glen Miller Story and countless other movies. He always looked old however, may he rest in peace.

I remember him well, going back a good many years. I didn't know he had passed.

He was in a bunch of westerns, and it seems that every time I see him in one, he's always playing the same character ... shady dude #3 who joins expedition/posse/search party/cattle drive and who turns out to be untrustworthy/deceitful/snake in the grass and turns on the star John Wayne/Jimmy Stewart but gets his comeuppance in the end.

Not that he was like that in real life.

For someone who got his Harry Morgan introduction featuring army green, choppers and Alan Alda, seeing him play "bad guy" rather than "gruff but good uncle-character" seems strange.

That episode was called "The General Flipped at Dawn." It is a season 3 episode.

He will be missed! And his passing is on the 70th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack. Truly, a day that will live in infamy.

Pretty soon all the stars from the late 40's, 50's and 60's will be gone. I know I'm getting older each time one of them passes. They don't make actors like them any more.

I remember him in "The Ox-Bow Incident".

Time is marching on. RIP, Colonel Potter.

He played Henry Fonda's buddy in one of my favorite films, The Ox-Bow Incident.

I'm remembering an episode where he receives a bottle, he's the last of a bunch from WWI. Godspeed to the last man standing
