Did you know
- TriviaThe first American prime time television episode to feature male nudity when Radar lost his towel running from the sniper in the shower revealing his bare butt.
- GoofsJust before the sniper shoots a football out of a soldier's hand, the guy throwing the football pauses, and waits for the ball to be shot out of his hand.
- Quotes
Lt. Col. Henry Blake: Apart from the sniper, don't you think things are running fairly smoothly?
Cpl. Walter "Radar" O'Reilly: Nobody's eaten in 13 hours, sir.
Lt. Col. Henry Blake: Yes. Well, that coincides with how long we've gone without food.
Cpl. Walter "Radar" O'Reilly: I have this peculiar metabolism. If I don't eat regularly, everything solid in my body turns to liquid. My shoes are full of water.
- Alternate versionsSome versions delete or blur Radar losing his towel when being fired at by the sniper, while in another version he doesn't lose his towel at all.
- ConnectionsFeatured in M*A*S*H: Abyssinia, Henry (1975)
Featured review
Worst sniper in the history of snipers?
I used to watch and love this show as a kid, including many memorable episodes such as this one. Now, re-watching 30-40 years later... I can't believe how bad some of these premises are, and worse how badly they're executed. Just generally, for a sniper to have a wide open killing field with dozens of unprotected, unaware targets at the beginning of his siege and not score a single kill is just ludicrous. Yeah, it's prime-time comedy, nobody wants to harsh it down, but really? Then, just endless little things... Radar is in the same shower as Col Blake - hasn't it been established that there are officer's and enlisted facilities? They should not be sharing the same shower. When Hawkeye (and Frank) go out at night... nobody thought to turn the outside lights off? Yet, our sniper pays them no heed. But.... when they're in the mess tent after "ambushing" Radar, a lit match held by Frank draws fire??? I get, in the spirit of the time, this was plain and simply anti-war propaganda, exalting the heroic anti-war Hawkeye over the cowardly chicken-hawk Frank. But even allowing that, some 40+ years later, the writing just feels lazy. It was acceptable simply to drive an agenda home at the expense of telling a coherent narrative.
