Most of all, farewell to the oldtimers. To the camp fashion consultant, Corporal Klinger. To Father Mulcahey, the perfect priest in the Korean War. To Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan, and to the memory of Frank "No Lips" Burns, who together perfected the art of irritation. And finally to Benjamin Franklin Pierce--Hawkeye--whose limitless storehouse of wit kept American punsters in full supply...
...tables, tubing, clamps and surgical gowns from O.R.; neither the blandly frazzled Lieut. Colonel Henry Blake (McLean Stevenson) nor the avuncular Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) will preside any more over that surgeons' battlefield. In the mess hall, the serving trays and cigarette packs are missing; Corporal Klinger (Jamie Farr), the drag queen of 4077, will never again ask Father Mulcahy (William Christopher) to give absolution to the food.

The second is that in the post-op of reruns, the members of the 4077 will continue indefinitely to act bonkers, save lives and refresh viewers' spirits. Radar will lose and find his Teddy bear and, maybe, lose his virginity. Klinger will show up in that cunning little chiffon number he bought in Seoul. Frank will fritter...
...salon: "I felt I was wasting a lot of time waiting around for my wife to have facials, so I decided to have them too. Now I look forward not only to what it does for my skin, but what it does to relax me." Until two years ago, Klinger's shop in Beverly Hills had an inconspicuous side entrance for men. But now the male customers are willing to march right up to the front door...
