Only one thing alive can hear me yell “JACKIE COOPER!!” — when Chris asks for connections between Superman: The Motion Picture and M*A*S*H.
But that thing is not Rob Kelly.
Cooper directed several episodes.
I was going to remind Rob about the Cooper Connection too (http://mash.wikia.com/wiki/Jackie_Cooper). I’m sure Chris’ question just knocked him for a loop. I like to call instances like that a Suwanee River moment (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzxWIL6HElI).
I can’t help but think of this connection between M*A*S*H and Superman: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0638467/ “Trick or Treatment”
Hey, it’s not connected to THIS Superman production, but Mike Farrell voiced Pa Kent on STAS and…Justice League (animated)!!! I smell a network crossover down the line…
Oooo. I didn’t know that. Awesome!
From “Bags of Humility: The Robert E. Kelly Story”:
“I think I always knew Chris would snap. Maybe I just said one too many things about Burt Reynolds. Maybe it was because David and I covered Chris’ beloved ‘Flash Gordon’ at a live show (we sold out the Garden for that one). But let’s face, he’s always been a powder keg of intensity. Don’t let that strong eye prescription full you. The man possesses the eyes of a killer.”
It all started when that army general gave me that plastic piece of meteorite. The next thing i knew, I was flicking peanuts in a bar and destroying international landmarks. Then, I was literally beside myself! Oh wait…I’m not supposed to be talking about this…Nevermind.

*fool you
I hate my phone
I know it’s off topic, but did you guys see the photo of the 1st live action Brainiac who will be turning up on the new KRYPTON tv series?

That show may not suck, just by this image. At least Brainiac finally gets some live-action love, either way! And I’m not counting Spike from Buffy either.

Rob, I was reminded this week of another actor who, IMHO, changed his appearance by donning glasses. William Holden in “Born Yesterday.”
