34. My favorite TV show EVER.

Jul 2017

One episode I really like was when a helicopter pilot reported an injured horse in a canyon and wanted a rifle to put it out of its misery. Radar, of course, wasn't going to allow that to happen. He talked Hawkeye and BJ into caring for the horse and removing shrapnel. After the horse recovered he brought it into Col. Potter's office as his (Potters's) wedding anniversary gift.

Radar: "I have a present for you too sir."
Potter: "Well this is turning into a real party."
(Radar leads the horse into Col. Potter's office)
Potter in shock "Oh, My."
Radar: (Explains as though Potter needed any) "Its a horse sir."
Potter: (Blows nose from the tears) "Its a beautiful horse." Walks around the horse "I don't think he could be over four years old."
Radar hands over the lead rope: "Here are the keys Sir."

The sex of the horse changed for its next appearance and became a 'girl' horse...Sophie.
