"What ever happened to our cheery evening meals?"
Colonel Potter is trying to calm down I-corps. They are complaining because they haven't received any daily reports for a while. When Klinger walks in, Colonel Potter yells at him. Klinger delivers the mail and Margaret chews him out because he lost the requisition forms for her two new nurses. Winchester yells at Klinger because one of his letters was dropped on the ground. BJ gets a letter from home talking about Peg meeting Radar in San Francisco. He reads until he gets to the part where Erin says "Hi Daddy" and then stops. Then BJ gets stone drunk, yells at Hawkeye, destroys the still, hits Hawkeye and then disappears. Klinger, fed up with all the complaints about him takes off, too. Father Mulcahy comes in to talk to Colonel Potter about how Radar started out and suggests patience with Klinger. Hawkeye and the colonel then set out to find BJ and Klinger. After finding they were kicked out of Rosie's bar for throwing darts at a Radar face, they follow the trail to Colonel Potter's office. Colonel Potter agrees to give Klinger a chance. Hawkeye puts on his helmet and talks to a remorseful BJ.
Trivia: What is the name and breed of Winchester's dog?
This episode pays homage to both Henry Blake and Trapper McIntyre. Gary Burghoff is credited though he doesn't appear in this episode. This episode won a Director's Guild Award for Charles S. Dubin in 1980. Note that this episode and the next five all completed production before the "Goodbye Radar" episodes.
My only problem with this episode is that Klinger has been subbing as company clerk since Season 4. (I understand that we don't know how long ago that is in fictional time, but for the viewer it has been 4 years.) You would think he would be comfortable in the routine by now. Maybe he always just left stuff in a shambles for Radar to fix, but Colonel Potter should already know what he is getting, then.
