With Col. Potter (Harry Morgan) away, the insufferable Charles is placed in charge of the 4077th. When they're not expressing displeasure over Charles' arrogance, Hawkeye (Alan Alda) and B.J. (Mike Farrell) are locking horns with the US Marines. The reason: The doctors want to help an Dutch-immigrant Marine private (Stan Wells) obtain a hardship discharge. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
In a casting twist, this remake of Arthur Penn's The Miracle Worker casts Patty Duke, who won an Oscar for her work as Helen Keller in the original, as Annie Sullivan, the woman who taught the deaf and blind Keller sign language. (In Penn's original, Sullivan was portrayed by Anne Bancroft.) The story, however remains the same; through perseverance and a bit of luck, Sullivan teaches Keller first to dress herself, then the sign-language alphabet, then finally the means of communication. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

- Melissa Gilbert, Patty Duke, (more)
