"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 discovery of an Abagnale-esque fraud masquerading as a doctor, Frank becoming drunk, and Margaret’s attempt to sing “My Blue Heaven” at the camp “No-Talent Show.”
[edit] Trivia
- 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.
- In the letter to his father Hawkeye comments that "It's a wonder he [Father Mulcahy] doesn't go deaf with all the commandment breaking around here". Ironically in the last episode of M*A*S*H Father Mulcahy loses his hearing as the result of a North Korean mortar attack.
