“The Novocaine Mutiny” · Season 4
In this episode: Frank Marion Burns (2), Hawkeye Pierce (1), BJ Hunnicutt (1), Colonel Potter (1)

I have no doubt that Captain Pierce is a prankster and thoroughly non-military, but the records prove him to be a top-flight surgeon. I wouldn't want to lead a company of Pierces into battle, but I sure as hell would want him around after that battle was over!
