room which shows Radar proposing to Klinger when Hawkeye and a colonel
come in the room. However, it is never explained why they are doing
this. It is probably the most bizarre scene in all of the first 4
seasons. Does anyone know why this scene was included and what the hell
Klinger and Radar were really doing?

On This Gay Day | The TV series M*A*S*H premiered
On this day in 1972 the TV series M*A*S*H made its debut
The story of the 4077 Mobile Army Surgical Hospital is best known from the long running television series that began on this day in 1972. It’s ensemble cast included the character of Corporal Klinger, who constantly tried to get out of the army by dressing in women’s clothes.
The story first began as a novel written by Rochard Hooker, the pen name of former military surgeon H. Richard Hornherger, who drew upon his own experiences of being drafted into the Korean War following his graduation from medical school.
In 1970 it was adapted into a feature production by Director Robert Altman, going on to beat Best Picture at the Academy Awards and the Palme D’Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
While the story is place during the Korean War which ran from 1950 to 1953, it is seen as a comment on the Vietnam War which was in progress at the time the book and film were released.
Only one of the actors from the production made the transition to the television version, Gary Burghoff played Corporal Rain Euguene ‘Radar” O’Reilly is both

Groundbreaking
This episode was one of the things that I loved about M*A*S*H. It definitely was ahead of its day by about 20 years due to the fact that gays in the military wouldn't develop a hot button issue until the Clinton Administration in the 1990's. The thing I mind was interesting is that they treated the character of George as a regular person and not as the stereotypical effeminate lgbtq+ man. Also, this helped give a little bit of insight into Frank's character. It reminded me of the furor over Larry Craig who was vehemently anti-gay until it was establish out that he was a closeted gay man and this probably was the case with Frank as some episodes would indicate.
All in all this is one of the most consideration provoking episodes in the series and it showed why M*A*S*H became a classic.

Funny I don't remember this one...
... and it could be because I was living in Dallas at the time and the local networks often preempted shows and episodes that the station manager had moral objections to. For example, as late as 1993, Dallas' ABC affiliate would not telecast "NYPD Blue" because of its sexual content!

'M*A*S*H' Star David Ogden Stiers Reveals He's Gay
May 6, 2009 — -- In the twilight of his career, "M*A*S*H" actor David Ogden Stiers has finally come out, saying he's no longer afraid to be gay.
In a recent interview, the Emmy-nominated player, 66, told the Oklahoma City blog gossip-boy.com, "I am [gay]. Very confident to be so."
