I feel like most of the cast is sort of going through the motions in this Koenig story, with the exception of Alda.  Hawkeye's friend, a fourth-grade teacher, has her students write to the 4077th, and he wants his coworkers to answer the letters, but he finds that his reply is the hardest to write.  I have to admit that at this point, of the five regular series I'll be reviewing for the '80-'81 season (Bosom Buddies will debut soon), M*A*S*H is the one that least intrigues me.  There's a feeling of complacency and inertia setting in, although perhaps this is temporary.  This is the 300th C+ I've given and plainly far from the last.

Richard Paul, who plays Capt. Bill Bainbridge, recently had appeared on Match Game.  Michael Currie, who plays Dr. Breuer, would be the Governor on Soap.  Kellye Nakahara (Yamato), Shari Saba (Nurse Shari), and Eileen Saki (Rosie) return.
