I’ve added TV Guide summaries for Season 7 to my M*A*S*H TV Guide Episode Summaries page.
Here’s a sampling of the summaries:
07×01 “Commander Pierce”
Monday, September 18th, 1978
The 4077th faces a seventh season on the Korean front with the C.O. summoned to Seoul, Major Winchester incapacitated, add command placed in the reluctant hands of Hawkeye (Alan Alda), a self-described “cringing chicken” who “can’t give orders.”
07×04 “Our Finest Hour”
Monday, October 9th, 1978
The MASH staff bares its soul in this hour-long show, which is similiar in theme to a 1976 episode. It takes semi-documentary form: interviews, filmed in black and white, are conducted among the personnel by a TV correspondent (Clete Roberts). Responses to questions are fleshed out flashbacks to previous episodes, featuring former regulars McLean Stevenson (as Henry Blake), Wayne Roger (Trapper) and Larry Linville (Major Burns). [This expanded M*A*S*H begins one-half hour earlier than usual, pre-empting regular programming.]
07×18 “The Young and the Restless”
Monday, January 22nd, 1979
The 4077th is visited by an extremely young surgeon (James Canning) who humiliates Charles with his brilliance and causes uncharacteristic resignation in Potter, who is out of action with phlebitis and suddenly content to stay that way.
Look for additional TV Guide summaries soon.
