RIP

I think his character was ten times better than burns. Better written and he gave as good as he got

RIP Major Winchester

Not from M.A,S.H.

“Nice pig, Doc!” My favorite line he ever said.

I watched MASH from it's inception. The first year, there three similar characters, Blake, Hawkeye and Trapper. Womanizing, drinkers but good doctors.
Having the contrast of Potter, an older army regular, Hawkeye, and family man BJ just make the show better.
Frank Burns gave everything he had but character was growing stale. Winchester, a very competent doctor, a strong minded individual, a different "guy" again made all the characters around him better.

Thanks David Ogden Stiers for brighting our lives.

Brilliant actor, brilliant character.

He was in Star Trek TNG in a role in season 4. It was a pretty good role.

He played an alien scientist rebelling against his planet's custom of euthanizing people when they reached 60. At least he lived 15 years longer in real life.

Pretty much the only good Lwaxana episode. However, I have an odd fascination with Fascination.

It's probably the most meta episode of DS9

I'm a huge TNG fan so yes I know the episode. Also there was a Lwaxana episode in season 7 I also liked. It also had Kirsten Dunst.

Absolutely no doubt, he was 100 times better than Burns. Part of one of the best and most memorable shows of all-time.

HUGE HUGE Mash fan here. My favourite show of all time, followed ever so closely by All in the Family.
Because of Winchester, I often say 'thank you', simply as "Q..."

RIP Major Charles Emerson Winchester, the Third.

I seem to be one of about 8 people who fondly (or at all) remember the Dead Zone series where he was also quite good. Especially the first 2-3 seasons before the writing went bad.

Also one of the biggest WTF moments I ever had gaming was firing up Icewind Dale and hearing him as the narrator

Absolutely no doubt, he was 100 times better than Burns. Part of one of the best and most memorable shows of all-time.

Burns was kind of whiny and annoying. Intentionally so I'd gather but it was perhaps too on the nose for the viewer

no! not cogsworth!

I lost interest in series during season 3 ,, Honestly cant even remember it that well

RIP. He popped up in a lot of roles besides just MASH. Was thinking about that Frasier episode he guest stared him. He really could have been Niles and Frasier's dad. Both he and John Mahoney passed away recently.

I liked the fact he used that episode to actually come of the closet
