"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.[1]

Plot

Hawkeye writes to his father again about several crazy events that take place at the 4077th, including the discovery of an Demara-esque fraud masquerading as a doctor, Frank becoming drunk, and Margaret’s attempt to sing “My Blue Heaven” at the camp “No-Talent Show.”[1][2][3][4][5][6]

Notes

Hawkeye's line "I have always relied upon the kindness of strangers" (at minute 6:49) is a reference to Tennessee Williams' play A Streetcar Named Desire, with the line spoken by the character Blanche DuBois.

The episode contains one of the earliest appearances of the clichéd M*A*S*H phrase "meatball surgery".

When Hawkeye is supposed to be naked at the Officer's mess, in some shots you can see the top of his shorts.
