Dramedy

B-

As the title indicates, most of the episode is set in the post-op room, allowing us to see the staff interacting with various patients, from Margaret being hit on to Hawkeye comforting a man shot in the butt to Klinger making a mustache for a shaven man.

Andrew Bloch makes his first of two M*A*S*H appearances, as Private Cordon.  Judy Farrell (Able), Hilly Hicks (this time Corporal Moody), Kellye Nakahara (Yamato), and Sal Viscuso (this time onscreen as Sgt. Raymond McGill) return.  Alan McRae, who's Corporal Nessen here, would be Airman McFarland on Mork & Mindy.  Also, Sgt. Justiss is played by Andy Romano, JD in the Beach Party movies.  Both Radar and Father Mulcahy are absent.  Four writers wrote this episode: David Isaacs, Jay Folb, Ken Levine, and Gene Reynolds (who also directed).
