M*A*S*H: Hawkeye

M*A*S*H: Hawkeye
CBS
January 13, 1976
Dramedy
DVD
C+

Not getting enough of Benjamin Franklin Pierce?  Watch this episode where he does an almost non-stop monologue, including musical numbers, in front of a mostly silent Korean family, who gives him shelter after he almost runs over the kids and himself receives a concussion.  Me?  I'd take a nap till Radar rescued me, but I guess that would be too quiet an episode.

Susan Sakimoto, who's the Oldest Child, would return later that year as a different Korean Girl, while this is the first of four M*A*S*H appearances for Pregnant Woman June Kim.  Mother Shizuko Hoshi makes her second of four, and Father Philip Ahn his first of three.  Gelbart directed and co-wrote with Muntner.
