Synopsis by Hal Erickson

M*A*S*H began its 11-year tour of duty on September 17, 1972, with its pilot episode, clevely titled "The Pilot," in which the staff of the 4077th tries to raise 1000 dollars tuition to send Hawkeye's (Alan Alda) Korean houseboy Ho-Jon (Patrick Adiarte) to medical college in America. One of the fundraising schemes is a raffle; the grand prize is a weekend in Tokyo with the delectable Nurse Dish (Karen Philipp). The winner of the raffle comes as a shock to everyone -- no more so than the viewer, who may be surprised to see an unfamiliar actor playing this soon-to-be very familiar M*A*S*H character.
