Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaHawkeye makes a reference to Nedick's in Grand Central Station (New York City). It was a fast-food chain on the East Coast of the US, selling hot dogs, doughnuts, coffee, and a signature orange drink. It was in business from the 1920s to the 1980s.
- GoofsWhen Hawkeye reads a newspaper from BJ's package from home, he reads it as "Elizabeth Taylor married someone whose name begins with N.I." Than he assumes it meant "Nixon", claiming Richard Nixon was their Vice President. BJ then corrects him saying that Elizabeth married Nicky Hilton. Nixon (who would become VP under Eisenhower) didn't become VP until 1953 and Elizabeth Taylor married Nicky Hilton in 1950. (Although, since the newspaper was used as packing material, it could have been an old paper.)
- Quotes
Lt. Gage, RN: [worried about the strenuousness of piling people into jeep] Can I get a hernia?
Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce: Certainly. But rent one first, see if you really like it.

Featured review
B. J. turn to Write Home
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.
