M*A*S*H: Trick or Treatment

Still from the M*A*S*H episode Trick or Treatment showing Hawkeye, Margaret, Colonel Potter, and B.J.
Hawkeye is "in love" with Margaret's outfit,
which would've made for a more interesting story.

This Dennis Koenig holiday story is pretty forgettable.  Casualties come in on Halloween, some frivolous, some as serious as falsely diagnosed death.

John Otrin, who was an uncredited Student on Welcome Back, Kotter, here makes his first of two appearances as an Ambulance Driver.  Herman Poppe, who was Wally on Three's Company, is the MP.  Arnold F. Turner, who was Doug on Bosom Buddies, is the Graves Registration Assistant here.  James Lough (in his last M*A*S*H role, as Private Crotty), Richard Lineback (this time as Private Scala), and Kellye Nakahara (Yamato) return.  And, yes, that's Andrew Dice Clay in a very early role as Corp. Hrabosky, and George Wendt, then on the new show Cheers, here playing Private La Roche, who tried to swallow a pool ball.
