A Sidney Freedman episode was always a special treat on MAS*H, because Sidney was SOOOO likable, and well written, but mostly because Mr. Arbus played him so well. I remember wondering if he would appear in the finale when it first aired (yes, I'm that old), and was thrilled that he was a major player in that last episode. He helped the series end on it's highest note, and I will always remember Mr. Arbus's portrayal of Sidney as my favorite character on the show.
My condolences to his family, and my thanks to Mr. Arbus himself for his great work.
Requiescat in Pace, Good Sir.

You said everything I wanted to say and first. My only addition,
Mr. Arbus, may there be no war where you are, now. Rest in peace.

The very first Sidney episode I saw him in was,not surprisingly,The Billfold Syndrome in Season 7. I was ten and in watching the show thought "Wow,what great doctor." (Of psychiatry ).
Alan Arbus made Sid not just a strong and sympathetic friend to the 4077th,he was also a fun person with a sense of humor. In othr woirds,the perfect head doctor to help when Hawkeye needed it ,as well sas the others.
I'd have sworn when anyone asked me how old I thought Arbus/Sid was,that he was the same age as Alan Alda. I had no idea until about 5 years ago,that he was in Harry Morgan's age range.
Arbus had many other Tv appearences and was in quite a few movies too but people will always know him for Sid. RIP Mr. Arbus.
MAN! One dream's come true,ready for another.

Yes, 95 was surprising. Also the fact he was the husband of the tragic photographer Diane Arbus who committed suicide. I never connected the name with him as I had not known they had been married.

This man was one of my all time favorites. I just knew one day soon we would read this. RIP, Mr. Arbus. Thank you so much for the hours of entertainment you provided us. I will never forget you.
