Love it! Alda is perfect in this episode, as always....that "good God" lines cracks me up hysterically every time! I don't feel Winchester was being a gentlemen, I believe he was trying to show off....he was seizing the opportunity because he finally came across someone who would be a worthy adversary. However, he keeps falling short until he gets frustrated and finally says screw it, "take your fathers villa and stuff it." I have Lways been a MASH fan and this is one of my favorite episodes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242198036084484844.post-12573773405366182032013-09-21T19:44:54.408-04:002013-09-21T19:44:54.408-04:00I don't think I've ever seen it mentioned ...I don't think I've ever seen it mentioned that Johannsen was played by Loretta Swit's husband (or husband-to-be, since I've read that they were married from 1983-85).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242198036084484844.post-19982299050522157492012-06-16T18:41:41.970-04:002012-06-16T18:41:41.970-04:00Actually, Hawkeye was in the corner standing on hi...Actually, Hawkeye was in the corner standing on his head trying out a yoga remedy the Indian Army surgeon showed him.

Winchester wasn't trying to best him at anything. He had finally found someone that he could relate to, and was enjoying it. True, MAYBE, Winchester assumed that Kent was on the same level as himself. He actually said, "How fortunate you were." In reference to Kent's admission of attending a music festival. He invites him to share something special with him, the fruitcake, when suddenly Kent turns into a total jerk. I guess, in the 30 or 40 times I have seen this episode; that Winchestor was being a gentleman, and Kent was an ass. <br /><br />I also agree that the delivery of, "Good God!", was great.

George Innes plays this perfectly- a nice tweaking of Charles' pretensions that holds up over repeated viewings.<br /><br />Much has been made in <i>M*A*S*H</i> and criticism regarding Margaret's acceptance of Johannsen's impotence. This scene is well played, but I think that it presupposes a certain sense of "Hot Lips" that had by now been long superseded by Swit's deft revision of the character.What the Parrot Sawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08039363570921658045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242198036084484844.post-31531933021611213682009-12-31T15:13:02.688-05:002009-12-31T15:13:02.688-05:00Another great Hawkeye line from this episode is &q...Another great Hawkeye line from this episode is "I can't believe it!

Over time, it's sort of grown on me. I always preferred the B story for it's depth. <br /><br />These days, I enjoy the Winchester\Kent story the most. In the end, neither one <i>wins</i>, though they both feel they have. Kent outing himself as a butler's son whom Winchester was trying to impress, and Winchester saying Kent should drive the jeep because of his upbringing. <br /><br />Both are forced to show that they aren't always who they make themselves out to be. It's an interesting sort of humility lesson.Radar Hathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12335146482746233357noreply@blogger.com
