This show was a hodgepodge - we had several plotlines put together, and the show itself is very erratic, jumping from one scene to another. The music is nice, but it doesn't flow with the rest of the show at all. Jean Turrell, Marilyn King, and Joan Lucksinger (The Miller Sisters) do some beautiful harmonies - I find myself singing along with them in places, but it just doesn't fit in with the show.
This episode never made me cry until after I watched "Abyssinia, Henry." Henry never got to see or hold his son, which makes the second to last scene in his office much more poignant (even though the writers forgot about the child in later episodes, and Henry claims that he has two children). Not a very good episode, but there are some very special moments in here.moreless
AIRED:
Captain Kaplan is to be shipped home, but becomes paranoid that something will happen to him before he leaves. He takes the wheel of a jeep to drive to Kimpo himself, but crashes and ends up in plaster. Henry's wife is in labor and gives birth while he has Radar calling the hospital every five minutes. An entertainer, Jackie Flash, visits the camp to entertain the troops.moreless
