2016 just couldn't let go without taking one more.

M*A*S*H actor William Christopher has died at age 84, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Christopher was best known for playing the part of Father Mulcahy on the beloved series. He passed away from lung cancer at his home in Pasadena with his wife by his side.

In addition to M*A*S*H, Christopher also appeared on The Patty Duke Show and Good Times, and had a recurring role on Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. He reprised his M*A*S*H role on After MASH in the '80s. 

His passing comes exactly one year after co-star Wayne Rogers died on New Years Eve of 2015.

Christopher was one of my favorite characters on the M*A*S*H series. He was the contrast, the eternal straight man, at least in the beginning of the series. I still miss that show.

We've lost a lot of grand TV shows.  MASH is certainly one of them.  I also liked Cheers, The Wonder Years,The Twilight Zone, Fawlty Towers, ER, The Bob Newhart Show.  I'm certainly leaving a bunch out.  I watched more TV then.  I barely turn on the set t these days.
