*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
Hy Averback, veteran sit-com director of shows like F-Troop, handles the reins for this one. A murder mystery done very formula and work man like with Hawkeye playing the role of Sherlock Homes (or Jessica Fletcher in drag). The difference is it is done in a shorter time and has some laughs.
While it is not a top episode, it is suitably entertaining with all the folks getting dragged across the suspect list. Hawkeye gets all the suspects together in the mess tent for the finale. Motives get really mixed with Hawkeye in charge and the goings on get even more muddled with a few twists thrown in just to get the viewers attention.
No one throws out the first nurse here, but the doctors are definitely in stitches.
