In a recent article in the New Yorker: Gary Burghoff, who portrayed Radar in both television and movie iterations of MASH told the reporter he treasures both experiences. Burghoff described how Robert Altman hated the TV show; he has been very vocal about how much he detests the Alan Alda/Larry Gelbart and company CBS interpretation of MASH. "Altman despised it. In his director's commentary for the film, recorded for the 2000 DVD release, Altman calls the show "the antithesis of what we were trying to do," and claims not to know or like any of the people involved with it. ("Alan Albert, or whatever his name is.)" Burghoff told the reporter that Robert Altman's resentment of the TV show probably stems from the fact that the show's popularity came to almost entirely eclipse the influence of his film. (Altman had no fondness for Hornberger's novel, either, calling it "just terrible.")
