Harry Morgan
1915 - 2011
Actor Harry Morgan, passed away today at the age of 96.
Morgan was best known for his role as Sherman T. Potter on the looooong running tv show, M*A*S*H*. Morgan also gained fame as anally retentive LA Police Detective, Bill Gannon on Dragnet.
Today's Theme Song Thursday is in honor of Harry. My apologies in advance for the suck-ass theme song below. I tried to find one from M*A*S*H* but apparently copyright issues prevent them from being posted on YouTube. And Harry doesn't appear in the Dragnet theme. SO, you lucky dogs get to enjoy a little AfterMASH, where all the minor characters from M*A*S*H* went to kill their careers.
I honestly don't even remember this show and considering it only aired from 83-84, the peak of my "no life" years, chances are good that whenever it was on I was at home watching teevee with my parents. That is after I completed my shift at Skipolini's.
I was super sad when I saw this. Bright side, 96 yrs..that is amazing.

Yeah, I guess you can't really expect much more than that. However, since MY grandfather lived to 104, I DO expect more, and will be pissed as hell if I croak at only 96.

104? Did he live in the Andes or something? Or Pleasanton?
