M*A*S*H {MASH}: THE NURSES (TV)

Summary

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, Maj. Margaret Houlihan's tense relationship with her nurses explodes when she forbids Nurse Baker to spend time with her visiting husband after the nurse commits a minor transgression. To insure that the newlyweds can spend the night together, surgeons "Hawkeye" Pierce and B. J. Hunnicutt quarantine her husband, Lt. Tony Baker, and pretend that he has typhoid. Nurse Baker ultimately risks Margaret's ire when she sneaks out of confinement to rendezvous with her husband. Commercials deleted.

Cataloging of this program is made possible by Alan Alda.
