M*A*S*H: Blood and GutsCBS
January 18, 1982
Dramedy
DVD
B-
Grizzled but charming war reporter Clayton Kibbee arrives at the 4077th and everyone likes him except, after awhile, Hawkeye. Kibbee likes to sensationalize his stories, while Hawkeye thinks that the ugly and/or ordinary truth is better. The episode is a bit heavy-handed in its points, but I do like how the characters interact, and it's worth tuning in to hear Hawkeye say "ass" (as in "butt"), pretty shocking for network TV at that time.
Rita Wilson for the first of two times plays Nurse Lacey not long after her Bosom Buddies appearance and indeed looks too young to be dating Kibbee, and for that matter Hawkeye (if Gail Edwards was too young for him). Kellye Nakahara returns, perhaps as Yamato, although she's only seen in the background.
