Jeff & Ryan welcome Bill Taylor, the author of “Mike Connors: A Life of Integrity in Film & Television,” to discuss Mike’s career, Mannix, and his reputation for being one of the nicest guys in Hollywood. Jamie Farr also joins us to talk about his long friendship with Mr. Connors and their guest stint on The Love Boat.  We even find a few M*A*S*H connections, too. We hope you enjoy this bonus episode of MASH Matters.

He and Ryan also eulogize Donald Sutherland, talk about tags, review Reverend Jim’s MASH script, update the Salkowitz saga, and dissect Jeff’s acting choices in his Emmy-worthy guest appearance on CHiPs.
