The 22nd episode of M*A*S*H aired 50 years ago today. “Major Fred C. Dobbs” aired for the first time on Sunday, March 11th, 1973 on CBS.
Here’s the capsule summary from my Episode Spotlight for the episode:
Fed up with all the pranks and abuse, Frank requests a transfer. Hawkeye and Trapper scheme to keep Frank (and Margaret) at the 4077th.
Check back next week for the next installment of 50 Years of M*A*S*H.
I loved that episode. It’s one of my favorites. I always loved when they would pick on Frank. To me the show started to lose a little when Frank left. Winchester was just as annoying, but unlike frank he was a good doctor and smart.
