M*A*S*H: Pressure Points

M*A*S*H: Pressure Points
CBS
February 15, 1982
Dramedy
DVD
C+

More sloppy writing from Pollock & Davis:

  • Why does Charles become a slob?  If it's to get back at Hawkeye and BJ, it's not made clear.  And the no bathing thing gives me a case of the de ja vus.
  • Why is there a pathetic raffle ($3.65 total) for the "honor" of shaving Charles as the tag?
  • Why is Potter 62, about a decade older than when he arrived?
  • How can we still be in the Fall of '51?  (DiMaggio just retired on September 30th.)
  • How does no one make the connection between Sidney's visit and Potter's increased irritability?

That said, there's a good performance by Morgan here if you can get past the other stuff, including that weak B plot.

Roy Goldman (as Roy Goldman) and Kellye Nakahara (Yamato) return.
