The star helped shape what the show became too, writing and directing many episodes.

Hawkeye is a great character and the soul of the series.

This means thatoutside of “Temporary Duty’s” opening and tag sequences, Hawkeye is totally absent.

He’s intended to be an annoying figure who gets on B.J.

Regardless,this episode is worth watching simply to see what a Hawkeye-free version ofMASHmight look like.

Fun as the Charles/B.J.

Margaret’s plotline is the best of the episode and the ending where she invites B.J.

and Charles for coffee is a nice moment of growth for the head nurse.
