Trivia:

When the movie Flying Leathernecks (1951) doesn't come as planned, Radar suggests that they watch "Bonzo Runs For President". But Henry requests "The Thing That Ate The Bronx", saying that he could see that one every night. Both of these movie titles were probably the writers' way of spoofing the type of films that were available at the time since neither appear to ever have been made. The first title refers to the chimp from the Bonzo series running for President which is interesting since in 1980 Ronald Reagan was elected President AND starred in Bedtime for Bonzo (1951).

Quotes:

Frank Burns: [Enters the swamp] Disgusting! Why is whenever I come in here it's disgusting?
Hawkeye: I think that says it all Frank.
