Alan Arbus was phenomenol, warm, convencing, and loved! I had always loved MASH. I loved the fact that MASH has started to appear on 3 networks during my times of need for TV. There is very little quality TV. I personally prefer to read. What I love is to turn the show on and see Alan as Dr. Friedman as the calm and wise one to remind everyone that they should all be a little crazy. More importantly, I loved the warmth that shined through his character. He was mezmorizing, clever, and incredibly convincing that he was real! Alan Arbus is definitely MASH!
