Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe signpost shows Tokyo twice - on top and at the bottom. This occurs in the scene where Pierce is just coming out of Surgery after a marathon meat ball surgery session. The names of places would increase later and the place names would change as time passed by. There were three such signposts made during the shooting of the series. The second one was destroyed in a fire at the sets during the final season. The third signpost used for the series finale was donated to the Smithsonian museum. and is currently at the National Museum of American History (Washington DC).
- GoofsWhen Hawkeye and Trapper are listening to Radar's "Dear John recording," Radar's fiancée, Linda Sue, addresses him specifically as "Radar." However, M*A*S*H canon established that Radar acquired his nickname for his ability to hear incoming choppers before anyone else, which, of course, means that he was tagged with the nickname "Radar" after his arrival in Korea. So, Linda Sue would have known him only by his given name of "Walter," which makes her calling him "Radar" nonsensical.

Featured review
Aaaaah.......Bach!
Radar is cast as a man who had a fiancée back in Otumwa who has sent him a drugstore Dear John recording. Later, I believe, Radar's past is restructured and made different, but for now, he lapses into depression. Trapper and Hawkeye decide to find him a girlfriend, but as is usually the case, the women on the post will not even look at him. One day a pretty young nurse come and Radar is totally taken, but he is far from her intellectual equal. She reads classic literature, philosophy, and loves classical music. The guys try to get Radar up to speed enough so they can at least talk a bit. Once Margaret and Frank get wind of this, Houlihan pulls the plug on the "affair." It is strictly vindictive. The boys then launch a full frontal assault on the rendezvous between Frank and Margaret. It is funny, but in the final evaluation, is there any future for Radar and Lieutenant Anderson.
