Mike Farrell wrote this episode that has BJ and Hawkeye lost, with a North Korean soldier happily surrendering to and helping them, while back at the 4077th everyone but Winchester, Houlihan, and Klinger has salmonella from a Thanksgiving turkey.  The story is kind of meandering but I liked it.

G.W. Bailey makes his first of fourteen appearances as Sgt. Luther Rizzo.  Byron Chung (this time the North Korean Patrol Leader), Roy Goldman (as Roy Goldman), Jeff Maxwell (Straminsky), Kellye Nakahara (Yamato), Soon-Tek Oh (this time as "Ralph"), and Bob Okazaki (this time the Farmer) return.  Note that this is the 179th episode and it aired in 1979.  I don't know if any other of my shows will be able to reach a similar milestone, perhaps Who's the Boss?
