M*A*S*H: The Chosen People

M*A*S*H: The Chosen People
CBS
January 26, 1974
Dramedy
DVD
B-

Laurence Marks, Sheldon Keller, and Larry Gelbart wrote the teleplay based on a story by Gerry Renert and Jeff Wilhelm.  This may partially explain why the first part of the episode has some jokes that are clinkers and then things improve.  It helps to have Pat Morita back as Capt. Sam Pak, but I also like how virginal Radar deals with being named the father of a Korean baby.  (He and the mother met in September, presumably of 1950).

Jerry Fujikawa (this time as the Korean Father), Jeff Maxwell (Straminsky), Bobbie Mitchell (Lyons),  and Kellye Nakahara (Yamato) return.
