Sesame Street/Big Bird's teddy bear

I remember reading somewhere that Burghoff gave Big Bird his teddy bear when he appeared on Seasme Street, and thats why it's named "Radar", but I can't seem to find the story now. Anyone else know of this? --Smart Mark Greene 04:54, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

How? The bear is buried in a time capsule in South Korea. I'm just kidding. GoodDay 21:49, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

not to sound like an obsessive, but having just seen the MASH episode with Radar's drum solo, some of the audio is in fact clearly dubbed, whether or not Burghoff himself did the dubbing. He is clearly seen playing with sticks during a part that's played with brushes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.53.136.74 (talk) 04:55, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

What about the "Gulf Guy"?

Gary Burghoff made a number of commercials for Gulf gasoline after he left "MASH". Remember those? He dressed in a white lab coat and was called "The Gulf Guy". After Gulf sold out to BP, they continued the commercials for a while with Burghoff as "The BP Guy", but that name just didn't have the same ring to it.97.73.64.151 (talk) 02:37, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
