Season 1, Episode 12
5/10
Just a Bit Too Much
22 February 2015
I have to agree with the previous reviewer. The Dear Dad concept is a fun way to bring vignettes of the various characters into play. Up until the Santa Claus trip things were OK. but there are times when it gets beyond belief. When Hawkey (Santa Claus) is able to drop into a bunker to perform surgery, wouldn't it have made more sense for the helicopter, which obviously was hovering and in just as much danger with or without Hawkey, to be used to airlift the patient out of that bunker? The other stories were less than great but OK. We have Klinger going toe to toe with Frank Burns and wanting to blow him up with a grenade. We have Hawkeye's big smooch with Margaret. And then there's Radar trying to send a jeep home, piece by piece. Oh, well, they didn't always strike gold.
