M*A*S*H Top 20 Episodes (11-15)

Continuing with my M*A*S*H countdown...

15. The Army-Navy Game (Season 1)
The 4077th is under enemy fire and an unexploded bomb lands in the compound. Henry calls the Army and Navy for aid, but both are too busy listening to the football game to provide sufficient help. The Navy eventually identifies the bomb as belonging to the CIA and gives them advice on how to disarm it. The bomb explodes after the doctors cut the wrong wire, but it turns out to be a leaflet bomb.



14. The Billfold Syndrome (Season 7)
Major Winchester suffers a setback to his civilian career and vows to never speak to anyone in camp again (a promise Hawkeye and B.J. enthusiastically try to get him to break), while Dr. Freedman shows up to treat a medic who has lost his memory.


13. The Winchester Tapes (Season 6)
After a month at M*A*S*H, Charles records a taped message home to his parents, begging them to do whatever it takes to get him home. Hawkeye is invited to spend the weekend with a newly single nurse formerly assigned to the camp, but duty calls--over and over and over.


12. No Sweat (Season 9)
In a particularly powerful heat wave, everybody is trying to keep cool, despite problems ranging from Margaret's prickly-heat rash to Winchester's tax problems. Comic relief is provided by Klinger trying to teach himself electronics on the PA system and Winchester and Houlihan having to convince Colonel Potter, stoned on sleeping pills, to order supplies.


11. Rally Round the Flagg, Boys (Season 7)
Colonel Flagg returns to the camp, this time trying to recruit Major Winchester to spy for him against Hawkeye, who is under suspicion of being a communist sympathizer after Hawkeye operates on a North Korean soldier before an American, due to the North Korean being in worse shape. However, Winchester proves to be far more cunning than anyone suspected, and B.J. loses his cool in the face of the angry American soldier attacking Hawkeye.
