"While they keep getting banged up, we'll keep doing our job."
Father Mulcahy is excited when he learns that Gentleman Joe Cavanaugh, the heavy weight boxing champion, is coming to the 4077th. Major Hatch comes and announces that along with Gentleman Joe comes a steak dinner. Klinger uses General Wilberforce's name to get more than just steak, though. Cavanaugh comes and everyone is excited to see him, but after a toast to his honor at dinner, he has a stroke. Major Hatch calls in the press train and, suddenly, no one has any freedom any more, especially Hawkeye, who is trying to take care of the boxer. Hawkeye answers questions at a press conference where some more personal questions are asked. At first Hawkeye enjoys the attention, but then the reporters become a nuisance to him. Even in the shower he is interrupted. One reporter asks BJ about Hawkeye. Hawkeye's roommates accuse him of loving the attention. Hawkeye tries (but fails) to turn the reporters' attentions to BJ when BJ saves a soldier's life with an experimental electroshock machine. Finally, Gentleman Joe dies with Father Mulcahy by his side talking about one of Gentleman Joe's boxing matches the chaplain went to when he was twelve years old.
Trivia: Who did Father Mulcahy see Gentleman Joe fight when the chaplain was twelve years old? What happened at the fight?
Bonus: Who is Father Mulcahy's other hero?
Potterisms: "What in the name of Beelzebub is going on?", "Great logs of limburger!"
We don't know about the inner workings of BJ's invention, but he says "Turn it off and on, real fast" - rather than on and off. This technique of electric defibrillation had actually been in use for almost 50 years by this time, but closed chest defibrillation was first tried in the early 1950s. Gentleman Joe was supposed to be about 8 to 10 years older than Father Mulcahy, but in real life, William Christopher was older than Pat McNamara.
Earl Boen was Dr. Silberman in most of the "Terminator" movies. He played Judge Swanson on TV's "LA Law". And he is the voice for various video games. Britt Leach was recurring character Ellery Gilbert on "AfterMASH". Richard Cummins had recurring roles as Bernard Stevens on "Northern Exposure" and Mark Harriton on "Thirtysomething".
An OK episode.
