The Show
For this episode only, the show does not begin with the "Suicide Is Painless" theme song. Rather, the individuals are introduced in using the following comedic sequence: Trapper and Hawkeye (and Ho-Jon) are playing golf on a plateau, only to hit a ball into a minefield; Col. Blake and Nurse Leslie Scorch are working feverishly on something, only to learn later that they were opening a bottle of Champagne; Father Mulcahy is swatting a fly while crossing himself at the same time; Hot Lips and Frank are reading the bible while playing Footsie with each other; and Radar and Spearchucker are tossing a football.
