27th Episode Overall
Directed by Jackie Cooper
Written by Sheldon Keller & Laurence Marks
Production code K402
Original air date September 29, 1973
Set during the Korean War in the 1950’s
Plot Summary: This episode is told as a voice-over of Radar reading a report as he is typing it. Comically, it includes where he puts punctuation and how he spaces the report. In each scene of the episode, the viewer hears the actual scene as well as the report that Radar is making. An enemy prisoner who is being treated in the OR grabs a scalpel and attacks a nurse and a patient of Trapper's before being subdued by Hawkeye. When Trapper's patient subsequently dies, Trapper is furious at the enemy soldier, and considers killing him by removing his IV; however, Hawkeye talks him down.Hawkeye, meanwhile, has fallen head over heels in love with a new nurse, Lt. Erika Johnson. Although he is temporarily deterred by seeing a wedding ring on her hand, he is happy to discover that the ring is merely a shield against unwanted advances. Hawkeye is prepared to propose to the nurse, but she is not interested in a long-term relationship and is shipped out to Tokyo.
After Frank mistakes Klinger for Margaret, the two majors decide to get rid of Klinger. They convince Col. Blake to have Klinger undergo a psychiatric evaluation. Dr. Milton Freedman, an Army psychiatrist, interviews Klinger, and tells him that although he believes Klinger to be sane, he is willing to grant him a Section 8 discharge if he will sign a report confirming that he is a transvestite and a homosexual (a report which Freedman notes will follow him into civilian life). Insisting that he is neither ("I'm just crazy!"), Klinger refuses to sign, and Freedman files a report saying that Klinger is sane

MASH 4077 Podcast Episode 26
Show Notes
Kenny Mittleider from Knights of the Guild, Alien Nation: The Newcomers Podcast & Confessions of a Fanboy Podcast, Simon Meddings from Waffle On Podcast, & Al Kessel from Tales from the Mouse House, Fast Forward & Just Because Podcast discuss one of the most successful and longest running television series in history.. M*A*S*H
Today we cover Season 2, Episode #2 - 5 O'Clock Charlie
26th Episode Overall
Directed by Norman Tokar
Written by Larry Gelbart, Keith Walker & Laurence Marks
Production code K403
Original air date September 22, 1973
Set during the Korean War in the 1950’s
Plot Summary: For six weeks, an ammunition depot near the camp has been the target of a punctual but inept North Korean bomber pilot. Every day at 5:00 he flies overhead and attempts to hit the depot with a single hand-thrown bomb. The pilot, nicknamed "5 O'Clock Charlie," has been so reliably unsuccessful that the denizens of the 4077th have begun a betting pool based on how far away from the target his bomb will land. Only Frank and Margaret regard "Charlie" as a serious threat. Frank requests an anti-aircraft gun, and Brigadier General Crandall Clayton comes to the camp to assess the situation. Clayton, who has placed the ammo dump near the hospital so that the enemy will leave it alone (a tactic he says he learned from the Germans), is initially skeptical of the need for a gun; on the next raid, though, Charlie destroys not the ammo dump but Gen. Clayton's jeep. He agrees to send the gun, and Frank takes charge of it.
Hawkeye and Trapper argue that the presence of the anti-aircraft gun
will attract more competent bombers, noting that "fire draws fire,"
but Frank is more interested in drilling his "platoon" of three Korean
soldiers. Eventually, Hawkeye, Trapper and Cardozo conclude that the
problem is not the gun, but the ammo dump. They dye sheets and place
them on the ammo dump to help Charlie find his target. When Charlie
makes his next pass, Hawkeye and Trapper confuse Frank's men into
aiming the gun directly at the ammo dump. Charlie misses his target yet
again, but when Frank orders his troops to fire the gun, they hit the
ammo dump, destroying it
Hope you enjoy it,

MASH 4077 Podcast Episode 24
Show Notes
Kenny Mittleider from Knights of the Guild, Alien Nation: The Newcomers Podcast & Confessions of a Fanboy Podcast, Simon Meddings from Waffle On Podcast, & Al Kessel from Tales from the Mouse House, Fast Forward & Just Because Podcast discuss one of the most successful and longest running television series in history.. M*A*S*H
Today we cover Season 1, Episode #24 - Showtime
Directed by Jackie Cooper
Written by Larry Gelbart
Production code J324
Original air date March 25, 1973
Set during the Korean War in the 1950’s
Plot Summary: A USO stand-up comic performs at the 4077th, and the performance is juxtaposed with clips containing the following: Henry’s wife back home gives birth to a son and the camp’s dentist receives his discharge papers and takes great pains to make sure he does not get injured before he sets off for home. Major Burns actually gets the upper hand over Hawkeye with three practical jokes. The first is when he sabotages the still, causing it to spray Hawkeye in the face with gin. The second involves the classic 'bucket-over-the-door' gag. The third and arguably craftier joke has Hawkeye attempting to use the shower, but is annoyed to learn that Frank has switched the showerheads to spray alternately whenever Pierce tries to use it.
Hope you enjoy it,
Kenny, Meds & Al

Looking Back...Looking Forward
Hi Gang,
Al here. You know, I'm the host with the most...hair? :) Hey, I just wanted to take this time to thank all of you who've downloaded, listened, participated, etc, in the M*A*S*H 4077th Podcast during season one. We love this classic TV show, but truly YOU'RE the main reason we keep doing this podcast. Without you downloading and tuning in, we'd just be three geeks sitting in front of microphones. Well, two geeks and one awesome guy with lots of hair (I'll let you work out who that one is!).
Recently the three of us started recording Season Two of M*A*S*H and, well, we had a blast! It's been terrific working with Kenny and Simon, and although Kenny lives in California and Simon lives in a penal colony in England (ok, that's not true but he DOES live in England), when we record together it's like we're in the same room. Honestly these are two of the greatest co-hosts a podcaster could hope for. They share my love for this awesome TV show, and allow me to have as much fun as I can! Usually at their expense!!
Season One was a lot of fun to record because it allowed us to "kick the tires and light the fires" on this podcast, finding our groove so to speak, and it also gave me a great reason to get reacquainted with a TV show that has so much meaning for me in my life. It goes beyond entertainment, and kind of weaves its "magic" through my most treasured, fondest memories as a kid. Looking ahead to Season Two...well, all I can say is make sure you buckle your seatbelts because this is going to be a FUN, informative and WILD set of podcast episodes!
Thanks again for listening to the show, and hey, why not hop on over to iTunes and give us some feedback and ratings??? And while you're ON the internet, mosey on over to our merchandise store at http://www.zazzle.com/mash4077podcast and pick up some AWESOME stuff!! Ok, Peace Out!
