Anyway:

Q: M.A.S.H.: Why was one of Radar O’Reilly’s hands always hidden from the camera in every shot he appeared in?

Q: Identify the speaker of this quote & what it pertained to: “The only thing red about her is her hair…and we’re not to sure about that!”

Gary Burghoff has something wrong with (I think) his left hand. I don’t know what the “something” is.

25

He drove a Pontiac Firebird. Not sure of the year - I’ll say 1974?

I’m pretty sure that the B-52s made a brief appearance on a daytime soap opera, but I just can’t remember which one. Can anybody help me out?

40

They appeared on “Guiding Light” circa the early 1980s. I recall seeing it on some MTV special, “Your favorite rockers appear on TV” or something like that. The sight of all these perfectly coifed, ultra-preppy soap opera characters ‘gettin’ down’ to Rock Lobster was certainly…amusing…to say the least.
