Wow, I'm old.

Yes, you are. I'm ashamed to be seen with you. :-p
 
When I saw the title of this thread, I thought "Surely George doesn't mean that Sydney Freedman..."
 
RIP, Allan Arbus, and thanks for laughs.
 
I liked his character. R.I.P.

He was 95. You should feel young.

I saw the original M*A*S*H (Elliot Gould, Donald Sutherland, Sally Kellerman, . . .) with my father. I was 13 at the time.
