M*A*S*H {MASH}: THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A NURSE (TV)
Summary
The second of two programs on this tape. One in this series of comedy programs about the men and women of the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (M*A*S*H), stationed behind the lines during the Korean War. In this episode, the nurses are forced to leave camp upon threat of an enemy attack, upsetting the lonely men left behind. Hawkeye and Trapper, of course, resort to drinking, while other men choose their own ways to mourn the loss of the nurses and liven spirits. Burns is the most torn up, becoming a "wreck" without Hot Lips around. Bored, Hawkeye and Trapper pull a phone prank on Burns, then trap him in a foxhole that he ordered to be dug. The men are quite surprised, though, when the air raid eventually comes. Tape ends abruptly. Includes commercials.
