M*A*S*H: Temporary Duty

M*A*S*H: Temporary Duty
CBS
February 13, 1978
Dramedy
DVD
B-

This Larry Balmagia story either needed a rewrite or recasting.  It's not that Marcia Rodd or George Lindsey are bad actors, so much as that they don't seem like quite the right people to portray respectively Margaret's old friend that she used to be rebellious with and a surgeon so obnoxious that even Charles wants Hawkeye back.  (Pierce and Bigelow [Enid Kent] have been exchanged with the 8063rd's chest-cutter and nurse.)  I do like the touch of Boston being added to the signpost.

Sal Viscuso returns as the PA Announcer.  This is Farr's 100th episode.
