B. J. turn to Write Home

[Hitchcoc · 8/10 · 12 March 2015]

Hunnicutt continues the ongoing plot line of writing home. He writes to his wife, Peggy, creating several vignettes. Events that take place are many. B. J. saves a man's life after Frank has pronounced him dead, by using chest compressions. Hawkeye organizes an effort to break a record for how many people can be put in a jeep. Father Mulcahy is visited by a gung-ho priest, a Colonel, played by Ned Beatty, who is there to judge his technique. Klnger tries numerous times to run away, including one where he is disguised as a tree (a dog urinated on him and he was caught). Frank and Hawkeye give English lessons so Koreans can help in the hospital. The result is quite funny. Finally, Hollister, the priest, gets Mulcahy to write a boy's parents about his recovery before he is out of the woods. A solid episode.

Ned Beatty is fresh from his appearance in Deliverance

[safenoe · 8/10 · 23 July 2020]

Ned Beatty is the guest star in this episode. A few years before Ned became incredibly famous with his role in Deliverance, memorable to this day. Anyway, Ned plays a senior army chaplain who motivates Father Mulcahy (William Christopher) to write a pre-emptive letter to a patient's parents.
