Synopsis

To much of the world, Jamie Farr will always be Corporal Maxwell Klinger, forever trying (and failing) to get a Section 8 discharge from the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital - more often know as M*A*S*H. M*A*S*H was more than just a TV show. It entertained people, and it also tried to say something- that people count, that life is sacred, and that war is stupid. Summing up 50 years of television history, TV Guide's editor's declared M*A*S*H the best sitcom in history. It's final episode, a 2 1/2 hour special on February 28th 1983, turned out to be the highest-rated show in TV history, with 125,000,000 views. People still watch M*A*S*H reruns in fact. Jamie Farr, born of Lebanese immigrant parents in Toledo, learned to live with Klinger and make Klinger's comic character work for him. When he didn't get cast in Hollywood because of his the public's identification with the characters in M*A*S*H, he worked on stage all over the US and Canada. This book is a memoir of his acting and Broadway career.
