(...) Love the movie--did Robert Duvall pull of Frank--it was perfect. Frank in the series was too fake--there were some good bits, but overall, I found Frank to be too over-the-top. Trapper was great, but I also liked BJ--that's a tough one. And (...) (22 years ago, 28-Feb-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) MASH did a pretty good 'racial' episode, in which a wounded soldier didn't want blood from 'those people'. Hawkeye sedated him and he and BJ took some dye and coloured the unconsious soldiers' skin a darker colour... Was a bit of a wake-up (...) (22 years ago, 28-Feb-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Ah, "Yankee Doodle Doctor." A fine piece of celluloid. Much of Hawkeye's routine in that episode is a direct homage to Groucho in "A Day at the Races," worth seeing despite some racial issues[1] that may be uncomfortable to modern viewers. (...)
