M*A*S*H: Bug OutCBS
September 21, 1976
Dramedy
DVD
C+
Clunky dialogue by Fritzell & Greenbaum brings down what could be a good hour-long season premiere, although kudos to them, and Hawkeye, for respecting Margaret's fear of rape. He does flirt with her (and I think grope her in the dark), but he also acknowledges her hard work when she praises him. Kissing her on the cheek is a nice touch. I was surprised that Frank didn't object to her staying behind with Hawkeye and the patient. (Radar joins them.) And I've got to feel sorry for Klinger, who pointlessly gives his wardrobe away.
James Lough (later James Carroll) makes his first of seven M*A*S*H appearances, as an Enlisted Man. Frances Fong plays Rosie for the first of two times, while Eileen Saki plays a Korean Woman (I believe the brothel madam) but would later take over the role of Rosie. Jeff Maxwell (Straminsky), Kellye Nakahara (Yamato), and Richard Lee Sung (this time as Cho Man Chin) return.
