Trivia
While Colonel Henry Blake, Father Mulcahy, and Captain Sam Pak are sitting outside the mess tent eating spicy Korean food, it's interesting to note that Henry and Mulcahy, both Americans, eat using chopsticks, while Sam, a Korean, eats with a fork.

Goofs
Thinking Radar may be the father of a local's new born baby, visiting Dr. Sam Pak (played by Pat Morita) says to Henry: "You got trouble right here in pregnant city." This in reference to the the 1962 musical The Music Man. The Korean War went from 1950-1953.

Quotes
Lt. Col. Henry Blake: [Backed into a wall of his tent by a cow] Sit, lady. Stay. RADAR!
Cpl. Walter "Radar" O'Reilly: [Off] Sir, there's a Korean family out here!
Lt. Col. Henry Blake: Well their dog's in here!
Cpl. Walter "Radar" O'Reilly: [Looking through door] Holy cow!
Lt. Col. Henry Blake: Never mind his religion, Radar! Just get him out of here.

Radar's Little Bundle

A group of refugee farmers show up at the 4077th. They have been displaced and claim the camp is on their land. They build accommodations and do what they can to keep going. Of course, they are sitting right in the middle of the action. Henry doesn't know what to do with them. To make matters worse, a young woman comes in with a baby and claims the father is Radar. He denies it but everyone in the camp is willing to believe he really fathered the child. Soon the Judge Adjutant General's office sends a man to investigate. The sad thing about this episode is that if these people were to relocate, they would probably end up in a pretty sorry situation. It's another episode that shows how the indigenous people of the warring country are affected by everything.
