DVD
B-

The main notable thing about this episode is that Sal Viscuso plays Corporal Benny Bryant rather than the PA Announcer, and it's a little weird hearing him having Confession with Father Mulcahy, since I've gotten used to him as the priest on Soap.  And Bernard Fox, who'd recently been Randolph on Soap, plays British officer Major Ross.  I might've gone with a B but BJ's morphine addiction cure seems very rushed.

Neil Thompson makes his first of two M*A*S*H appearances, as Johnson.   Kellye Nakahara returns as Kellye Yamato, while Radar remains absent.  This is the second of two M*A*S*H episodes written by Bill Idelson, who also wrote for That Girl and The Bob Newhart Show.
