M*A*S*H: Change of Command

M*A*S*H: Change of Command
CBS
September 19, 1975
Dramedy
DVD
B

Col. Potter officially arrives in this Fritzell & Greenbaum episode, and Morgan immediately settles into character.  Farrell is OK so far, a little bland, but he's mostly here to react to Alda, which, let's face it, was about all Rogers was given to do.  Frank is so upset about losing command that he "runs away from home," although he does return in the end, to find that Hawkeye has already gotten Potter to accept Klinger's cross-dressing.  Note that the colonel says he lied about his age at 15 in order to fight in World War I.

Jeff Maxwell (Straminsky) and Kellye Nakahara (Yamato) are around as usual, the former having a few lines in the mess tent.
