“A lot of young men from Bloomington, Illinois, did not get home to Bloomington.”

We were working on the story of McLean leaving. McLean said, “I wanna get off the show,” so we finally made a deal with him: Finish the year. And he agreed to finish the year, and then they would let him go, because he was very unhappy, and we didn’t want to keep him if he was that unhappy. In writing the last story, where his time is up, he’s gonna come home, we said, “What if he went into the drink?” Because a lot of young men from Bloomington, Illinois, did not get home to Bloomington.

We withheld that from the cast because we didn’t want them somehow falling apart or playing that last scene—some actors will do that—they’ll play something they shouldn’t know about. We called the cast aside and [creator] Larry [Gelbart] had the scene in a manila envelope. He handed the script to them, and it was about the operating theater, and Radar comes in and reads the telegram, reads the wire, that Henry Blake’s plane had gone down in the Sea of Japan.

I’m trying to explain the wastefulness of war. I’m trying to come on with this reasonable explanation and so forth. And she says, “I will never watch the show again.”And I said, “I don’t believe you won’t watch the show again.”
