One of the most heartbreaking episodes, as evidenced by the reactions of the actors. They were not told of that the character Henry Blake was going to be killed until Radar walked in with the new during filming, the news was such a shock that someone dropped a surgical instrument which clanged loudly to the ground, it was decided that this mistake be kept as it felt authentic. The news was so shocking to the world, that the next night on the Carol Burnett Show was a clip of Henry in a life raft shouting “I’m Ok! I’m Ok!”

Emmy award winning episode from the 3rd Season. Takes place entirely in the O.R. during a marathon surgery session with all the docs, even Sydney Friedman makes an appearance. One of the first episodes of a situation comedy where no laugh track is used throughout the show.

Perhaps the most acclaimed and remembered (apart from the finale) episode, this one deals with Hawkeye making up officer Tuttle in order to get supplies for a nun. Things spiral out of control as the entire camp begins to think they’ve interacted with him.

Hawkeye is stranded after a jeep accident with a mild concussion. A nearby Korean family brings him in. No one speaks english, so Hawkeye carries on a conversation for everyone. Great show with a 20 minute monologue.

Episode shown in real time, ala 24 style. A solider is brought in with a shredded aorta. Hawkeye has 24 minutes after clamping it off to find another aorta to graft it on to save the soldier.

A beautiful visiting Swedish female doctor shows Hawkeye up in the O.R. and he learns about the fragility of Male ego. A great episode highlighted by Margaret Houlihan telling Hawkeye off in front of the whole camp. He becomes a better man in the process.

In this episode a patient is brought in who believes himself to be Jesus Christ. If that wasn’t enough excitement this news brings back the ever popular and ever crazy Colonel Flagg.

A funny side plot involves Charles deciding not to talk to anyone in the camp with Hawkeye and BJ taking it on as a challenge. Directed by Alan Alda.

Hawkeye gets blinded and experiences life as a patient.

While this may be one of the most unrealistic episodes, the comedy in this one is unmatched. Watch as the entire camp turns out to take bets on just how bad 5 o’clock Charlie will miss this time.
