Here's a complete broadcast of a first-run episode from the final months of M*A*S*H's 11-year run, "Trick or Treatment" (S11E02), as transmitted over WBBM Channel 2.
In this installment, Halloween celebrations at the 4077th are interrupted by the arrival of wounded, including a (barely) living soldier previously pronounced dead, but was seen by Father Mulcahy to have some life in him. This is notable for some guest names - George Wendt (who started on a little show called Cheers this season) as a private with a pool ball lodged in his mouth, and Andrew 'Dice' Clay (here simply billed as Andrew Clay) as a corporal. Also featuring Richard Lineback (in his last series appearance), James Lough, Herman Poppe, R.J. Miller, Arnold Turner, Arlee Reed, Terry Brannon, and John Otrin.
