What makes it better is he is about the most down to earth family guy in the show, but in his first days in Korea he gets hooked up with a guy willing to just steal a General's jeep. And just loves it.
MASH was one show that had such great characters with actors to play them and when they left still found great characters and actors to replace them!! It never missed a beat no matter the changes! The Showrunners were just that good!!!
Too bad that Hawkeye missed Trapper by minutes when he got to Seoul to see him one last time before he gets sent back to the states and see his family again. He was in a hurry to see them again after Henry Blake didn't make it home to his family.
I remember as a kid, Henry is killed in the last episode of the previous season, when I tuned in to see the MASH new season premiere I was skeptical of BJ, since Trapper John was the #2 guy behind Alan Alda, but I liked him from the start...Mike Ferrel was given the ball and he definitely ran for a touchdown, time and time again....Then comes Sherman Potter to replace Henry Blake at episodes end....
Personally I like Beej better, he was his own character. Trapper wasn't much more than Hawkeye's understudy. Not a bad dynamic, but I think seeing Beej and Hawk bounce off each other on some issues was better.
@@blockmasterscott it was the same when Major Burns was replaced by Major Winchester. Frank was always the butt of the jokes and did not really have the means to retaliate, whereas Winchester was actually intelligent, witty and able to spar with Hawkeye and BJ.
I think he was born with three smaller fingers on his left hand. A cool thing is that he’s a good drummer. One of my favorite episodes too. Or should I say two, I believe this was a two parter.
@@cpmenninga Burghoff can play the piano too, I think it was in the episode where there was a big lull in the fighting and everyone was bored out of their minds.
This reminds me of the movie: Blake: I was told you stole a jeep? Hawkeye: No I didn’t. It’s parked right out there. Blake: Oh, I see. Well, never mind. 😆
Well the show had to go on but it got hit hard losing 2 characters like Trapper and Henry,it also shows the strength of how great an actor Alan Alda was and always will be
They were good but I loved Sherman and BJ and also Charles. Charles was awesome! Great show! and I like how Margret softened up as she became more layered and interesting (to me.)
@@LiveINtheGood53 Charles was my favorite character on the show, with Margaret as a close 2nd. Complex characters with flaws and virtues make the most interesting viewing. Frank was too cartoonish, BJ too boring and Hawk Eye too preachy.
I have to disagree...this was where the series began to find it's traction for me. They started to taper back on the adultery "humor" and move more into serious topics with more mature characters. I'm sorry, but I just don't find constant adultery jokes to be funny. The best things to happen to the show were the removal of Frank, Henry, and Trapper...and the addition of Sherman, BJ, and Charles.
I liked how they portrayed BJ's first time seeing combat and the condition of bodies as they are injured and what he will be seeing a lot of from then on. 🤢🤮
BJ was going to get into the worst one way or the other. It was sheer luck he got scooped up by Hawkeye and Radar when he did. The 4077th was the best place for a guy like him.
@@scotthamp384 Well, for one, neither of them were Generals. Both of them also got elbows deep in what they did at the MASH unit. That's who Hawkeye respects. I think I remember a General that chipped in and helped when they had casualties once and Hawkeye gave him a nod of respect, too. But it should be remembered the time Hawkeye and Potter were ambushed and Hawkeye absolutely disobeyed orders to use a weapon against the enemy. So Potter didn't get 100%.
All Hawkeye did was re-appropriate government issued equipment. At the end of the war, they’ll collect and count all the Jeep’s, subtract the ones that got blown up, and determine they’re all accounted for. He didn’t steal anything.
Why has no one mentioned that they lifted the idea of the stolen jeep from the film? Has anyone even seen the movie? Nowhere near as funny but an awful lot more accurate.
I love how BJ is laughing through the entire scene about the whole thing.
What makes it better is he is about the most down to earth family guy in the show, but in his first days in Korea he gets hooked up with a guy willing to just steal a General's jeep. And just loves it.
"Cuz he knows when he gets to camp, he gets to utter those immortal words, "What say, ferret face?".
@@samsonguy10k Thats one of the things I love about BJ.
"It's a General's Jack!"
"Salute it and get in!"
Those lines and Radar actually saluting the jack are funny as heck.
🫡

Exactly. Frank or Charles? Potter or Blake? BJ or Trapper? It really didn't matter.
Radar shows an accurate depiction of saluting to higher ups.
Scream in their face and then salute?
@@EternusNex YES! I did it a couple of times, came around a corner and ran into some guy with stars on his shoulders or collars.
Note to self, express complete unbridled panic when coming across higher ups. Got it.
He only did it to conceal the corporal's insignia on his cap.
Wrong
Nice touch by the director to show officers from other countries walking by in the background. This was a United Nations war.
I’ve seen this clip several times and just noticed that now. A very nice touch!
Too bad that Hawkeye missed Trapper by minutes when he got to Seoul to see him one last time before he gets sent back to the states and see his family again. He was in a hurry to see them again after Henry Blake didn't make it home to his family.
Not Seoul but Kimpo Airport which is close to Seoul.
I think they had to make him miss him, since the actor was no longer available
Nah, Trapper waited around for Hawkeye as long as he could, but still didn't have enough time.

@@willieoelkers5568 Same, I like BJ better.
His quieter humor played well with Alan Alda's more abrupt humor.

I can't stand BJ or Mike Farrell.
0:09 an older man would have had a heart attack and died from the stress LOL! Poor Radar!
Hawkeye is the original badass! Love him!
Radar is priceless
One of my favorite episodes. He's got Neuropraxia!!

If that show had 2 more years with Trap & Henry it would have been the GOAT of TV.
They were good but I loved Sherman and BJ and also Charles. Charles was awesome! Great show! and I like how Margret softened up as she became more layered and interesting (to me.)
BJ was a serious downgrade from Trapper, but Col Potter was a serious upgrade from Henry. The best switch was Frank out and Charles in.
@@LiveINtheGood53 Charles was my favorite character on the show, with Margaret as a close 2nd. Complex characters with flaws and virtues make the most interesting viewing. Frank was too cartoonish, BJ too boring and Hawk Eye too preachy.

Brilliant, magnificent, irreplaceable Alan ❤️ you
Actually, jeeps were (and are) made in Toledo, Ohio.
I liked how they portrayed BJ's first time seeing combat and the condition of bodies as they are injured and what he will be seeing a lot of from then on.
🤢🤮
BJ was going to get into the worst one way or the other. It was sheer luck he got scooped up by Hawkeye and Radar when he did. The 4077th was the best place for a guy like him.
dude i fucking died laughing when radar saluted that shiny, i do that shit all the time
I never screamed while saluting
Why not? Show your enthusiasm!
GREATEST. SHOW. EVER.
That's a pretty big outdoor set just for that short scene.
The show was rolling along nicely then
Radar....the corporal Captain, lol
This is “Welcome to Korea”
Yes, but it's about the line
Love it,...🇩🇰🇺🇸🦅🗽📫
BJ: (laughing) "What say you, Ferret Face?"
Right. Ole Frank thought he was going to mold BJ like putty in his hands, but Hawkeye got to him first.
I swear this is the same location used for the beginning of the 1970 Movie...
Quite likely.
I was thinking that too!
Did Hawkeye not see the general who went it just before he and BJ walked out?
Yeah, did you see him giving a fuck about high command lol. But in all seriousness he really doesn't care for high command.
Wow, they dressed some guy up as general too? Man, they really wanted to slip that jeep into the officers' club, didn't they?
@@ironwar1863 except he respected Blake and Potter
Did he care?

Ahhhhhhhh 👉😎
Jeeps were built in Toledo
and hummers in South bend.
Radar mailed one home to Ottumwa. His mailman had a retroactive hernia!
clinger tried to eat one..
The Army would send jeeps at the time in wooden crate boxes. It would not surprise me that Radar didn't send a few home himself.
4x01 - Welcome to Korea wrong name title
Also too the other episode question was titled as "The Yalu Brick Road"
Its the episode that trapper left.
By the way that jeep smokes all that blue smoke, not hard to tell it spends a lot of time idling. Typical of transportation for "upper management".
golly gee ya think?!
Stealing a jeep............just like in the movie
@@johnbodnar201 Wonder if they painted over the numbers and left in the same jeep.
I was a driver in the Corps, and I did a lot of idling waiting for brass.
Vents used in other tv and movie
4 сезон по-моему 1 серия
I’ve always preferred Henry and Trapper over Potter and BJ.
Did Hawkeye steal that jeep?
No, it’s the one he came in.
In the Army, it's creative acquiring not stealing.
All Hawkeye did was re-appropriate government issued equipment. At the end of the war, they’ll collect and count all the Jeep’s, subtract the ones that got blown up, and determine they’re all accounted for. He didn’t steal anything.
"They told me you stole a Jeep." "Of course not. It's right out there." "Oh. So it is."
@@gothnate I don' think I cud eat affa that raahde you gave me, Yankee
What is this episode called
Welcome to Korea
Do you mean what's the name of the episode?
Why has no one mentioned that they lifted the idea of the stolen jeep from the film? Has anyone even seen the movie? Nowhere near as funny but an awful lot more accurate.
And here began the socialist arm of the once proud sitcom.
The whole series is pretty left leaning
You should talk, what with that surname
@@maarekstele2998 You mean right-leaning says "war is good"?
@@RideAcrossTheRiver No he means liberal wacko.
