The Mail Stirs the Pot

Just a series of vignettes based on people's mail, all delivered the same day. Margaret gets a condescending letter from her mother in law. Radar finds out his widowed mother is going out with some guy. B. J. is all bent out of shape because his wife is having to make life decisions on her own (like who to go to to fix the car), Hawkeye is getting amorous letters from a guy who shares his name and rank, and Klinger is asked for a divorce by his wife. All these things are dealt with. Klinger's thing is probably the most serious, but because of his boy-calling-wolf activities in the past, he gets no sympathy. A pretty tame episode.

Trivia
The movie being shown in the mess tent, which Charles seems to be enjoying so much, is "Kentucky Moonshine "-1938 starring the Ritz Brothers.

Goofs
BJ gives Radar a seven-digit number - 555-2657 - to dial Peg in Mill Valley. But US phone numbers in the 1950s were uniformly given as an exchange name followed by four or five numbers. Thus, BJ would have known his number as, for example, "KLondike-5-2-6-5-7," where the K and L in "Klondike" stand for the first two 5's in the phone number.

Quotes
Capt. B.J. Hunnicut: [toasting Klinger's decision not to go AWOL] To Klinger, Korea's most eligible bachelor. May your wife dress as well as you do.
