In MASH, I remember that, a couple of episodes before Radar went home, he met a kind nurse named Lt. Patty Haven at the air transport hut. They really hit it off, and Radar and Patty planned to meet again after Radar got home (Patty was already going home). Radar was from Ottumwa, Iowa, and Patty was from Lancaster, MO, which is 100 miles away. Absolutely one of the sweetest scenes that I've ever seen on TV ever!
Many episodes before that, a nice Korean man (I don't remember his name) went to Iowa to help run Radar's farm. Very sweet, also. Not long after Radar met Patty, his Uncle Ed died, and he went home to help his mom on the farm. So I have always envisioned Radar going home after the war, working with the Korean man helping Radar's mom run the farm, and eventually Radar and Patty getting married. What a sweet concept for a show! So I was very excited to see the TV show WALTER, thinking that was what the show was going to be about. Boy, was I wrong. Boy, was I disappointed. Talk about a total and complete disaster! Who could have imagined that WALTER would be such a total and complete disaster? No sign of Patty, the Korean man, or Radar's mom. Radar lost the farm! Horrific! Not funny at all! None of this show was funny, and it was supposed to be a comedy? He got divorced and became suicidal. Divorce and suicide was supposed to be funny? Horrific! Who wrote this? What a sick sense of humor! This should not have been written this way at all! He should have stayed on the farm, and married Patty! I'm just mortified! If I could give WALTER zero stars, I would. AFTER MASH wasn't much better, but it was better than this drivel.
I choose to ignore the show WALTER, and just assume that Radar really went back to work on the farm, and marry Patty. The way it should have been.
