"Dear Dad...Again" was episode eighteen of the first season of the TV series M*A*S*H. It originally aired on February 4, 1973.
Hawkeye writes to his father again about several crazy events that take place at the 4077th, including the discover of an Abagnalesque fraud masquerading as a doctor, Frank becoming drunk and Margaret’s attempt to sing “My Blue Heaven” at the camp “No-Talent Show.” There was a case during the Korean War of a fraud pretending to be a doctor-only it took place on a Canadian Navy Ship-see The Great Imposter.
