7. COMPASSIONATE

Dr. Sidney Freedman on "M*A*S*H," played by Allan Arbus (not pictured)

With Dr. Freedman came some of the deepest themes on "M*A*S*H," as he helped Hawkeye and others deal with the horrors of war. A fan of Freud, Sidney guided Hawkeye through nightmares and psychosomatic sneezing, and he helped a deluded bomber pilot who thought he was Jesus Christ after killing civilians. "What's your name, honey?" is how he first greeted cross-dressing Corporal Klinger. He was a good egg.
