The old meat market continues. Due to an impending invasion, the nurses are sent to another unit until it blows over. The male in the camp drop immediately into depression. Their counterparts who are mostly there to provide companionship have them dragging their tails. I don't know how long they are gone, but it seems like a couple days. They hang around the officer's club, drowning their sorrows. Hawkeye and his dry martini lines are not all that funny. I always thought that Loudon Wainwright, III would have made a good recurring character, but this is one of his few appearances. Anyway, somehow they manage to get by a couple days without being serviced. I wonder how women feel about this show. There is also an element of cruelty in the treatment of Frank that goes beyond dislike. But I get it. It is comedy and he is a bigger than life character.

Guest starring Jeanne Schulherr

Warning: Spoilers
Jeanne Schulherr guest stars as Louise Burns, the wife of Frank Burns, whom we see in a wedding video. In fact Jeanne plays the anesthetist in the fifth episode of season three, and plays a nurse towards the end of season three. It's a surprise, but kind of consistent when we saw a home video of Blake's wife. Also in a later season we meet Margaret's father.
Anyway, There is Nothing Like a Nurse also stars Jeff Maxwell, in his recurring role as Igor. In 2018 Jeff and superfan Ryan Patrick started co-hosting the M*A*S*H Matters podcast and I've enjoyed hearing about Jeff's experiences on M*A*S*H.

Not the best

Every classic series has to have it's share of inferior episodes and this is one of them.
The only main characters I liked in this episode was Radar , Klinger and Father Mulcahy .Margaret and Frank team up against a nurse. Trapper steps in for the rescue but even that's a bit demeaning . This little opener however goes nowhere as the nurses are quickly evacuated as the 4077 may be under enemy attack. It's hard to believe they camp couldn't get by for what seems to be no more than two to four days. They are sorely missed in the O. R. but the surgeons could have been nicer to Klinger and the others who are doing their best to fill in. The rest of the time they mope around the camp and especially in the officer's club. They aren't getting any you see and it's crystal clear they are missing that from the nurses more that their professionalism.
There are two funny parts that save the episode from being a complete waste. First Hawkeye, Trapper, Radar and Blake watch home movies of Frank's comically depressing wedding. The other one is when the attack turns out to be a propaganda bomb. When they start reading it it's pretty funny . I especially like the one Frank reads " President Truman's sleeping with your wife "? His voice conveys how inept that propaganda was.
Of course it ends with the nurses returning so the dry spell is over .
