M*A*S*H {MASH}: EXORCISM (TV)
Summary
One in this series of comedy programs about the men and women of the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (M*A*S*H) stationed behind the lines during the Korean War. In this episode, Col. Potter may have unleashed a wave of evil spirits on the compound when he orders the removal of a Korean spirit post that is blocking traffic. A series of mishaps soon befalls the unit, including a failed public address system, damage to vital medical equipment, and several unusual accidents. When an elderly native is hit by an ambulance, he refuses to allow Hawkeye to perform a life-saving medical procedure until the operating room is exorcised of evil spirits. Although Col. Potter admits the eccentricity of such a ritual, he is willing to try anything to rectify the bedeviled 4077th. Commercials deleted.
Cataloging of this program was made possible by Alan Alda.
