M*A*S*H: B.J. Papa SanCBS
January 1, 1979
Dramedy
DVD
B-
Neither of the main plot threads of this Larry Balmagia story feel very fresh. BJ taking care of a local family is reminiscent of things both Hawkeye and Trapper have done, while Charles hoping to become the personal physician of a gruff general who prefers Hawkeye seems like something I've seen before, more than once. Still, the show isn't yet stale and at least these threads are well done.
Chao Li Chi makes his first of two M*A*S*H appearances, as the Father. Johnny Haymer (Zale), Shizuko Hoshi (the Mother), Kellye Nakahara (Yamato), Dick O'Neill (this time General Marian Prescott), and Sal Viscuso (PA Announcer) return. This is only the second M*A*S*H episode James Sheldon directed, the other being the first season's "Edwina."
