Having grown up with MASH instead of Dragnet, Col. Potter is the definitive Harry Morgan role to me.

From his first episode:
Klinger (all dressed up with somewhere to go): Colonel Potter, sir; Corporal Klinger. I’m section eight, Head to toe. I’m wearing a Warner bra. I like to play with dolls. My last wish is to be buried in my mother’s wedding gown. I’m nuts. I should be out.
Potter (calmly gives him the once-over): Horse hockey! I’ve seen these dodges for forty years, all the tricks. I knew one private said he was a mare. Carried a colt in his arms for weeks. Another fella said he was a daisy. Insisted we water him every morning. No, corporal, it ain’t gonna go with me. Now you get out of that fru-fru and into a uniform and you STAY in uniform. Dismissed!

It’s amazing how many Westerns he starred in, by the by.

And some of the best westerns, too.

The Ox-Bow Incident is the best. I feel bad, but I assumed he was already dead…

The classic pot episode “The big high.” is actually the one with Gannon’s secret BBQ sauce recipe in it. Right at the beginning and a great scene.
