Gelbart and Marks wrote the script based on a story by Reynolds, and it's mostly unremarkable. It even repeats the "Henry's sex lecture" thing from the first season, although with different lines. OK, Hawkeye and Trapper in gorilla costumes is something new, but the episode is never as funny as the characters think it is. Note that Trapper tells a nurse to "move her cute bottom," during surgery! It comes across more as harassment than flirtation, considering the setting.
Odessa Cleveland (Ginger Bayliss as always), Bobbie Mitchell (now Nurse Murphy), Kellye Nakahara (for some reason credited as Nurse Able), Patricia Stevens (now Nurse Baker), and Dennis Troy (this time a Corpman) all return.
