Brilliant Program Of Its Time, 10 July 2006
10/10
Author: ellisel from United States

Never did a program display more intuition and determination than the "Point of View" episode in the 1978-1979 Season. Mike Farrell, Gary Burghoff, Alan Alda, Harry Morgan, David Ogden Stiers, and Loretta Swit did a brilliant job in playing their roles as if it was in a real-time situation. The patient: an Army private had a severe wound to the throat in the beginning of the show. The first time that a tracheotomy was done in that show portrayed the horrific realities of how a soldier was severely wounded in Korea. Harry Morgan did the most brilliant job among the stars in that episode. He spoke to the patient about his life in San Antonio, Texas, his start in Fort Sam Houston, and his preoccupation with hatred of the Korean War -- all the while when he wanted to speak to Mrs. Potter at least twenty times over the telephone. Alan Alda; meanwhile, played a critical role of telling the patient that he was heading home after that surgery. Its a must see episode!!
