Frank is telling Sidney about his wife changing; It popped in my head that both Frank and Charles had considerable disdain for psychiatry, even though they both ended up telling Sidney their problems. Frank and Charles were opposites in most ways, but this was one thing they held in common.

I really think that this is just a "Faux pau" that let's the audience see more into their character. They deny believing in psychiartry so their character can "save face". Is part of the joke the we get to see that even though THEY don't believe, we as the audience get to see that deep down, their characters really DO believe!

He came to play poker, but stayed for two weeks, due to a patient he lost. Practical Jokes, Hawkeye showing a pilot the ugliness of war, and more. And Charles was in "War of Nerves". This time Sid comes in injured, with a wry smile on his face as Hawkeye turns to find him on the bus. Sid comes in with a minor head injury. Everyone is going nuts because of no rest and tons of work. Charles and Margaret are having a battle because Charles didn't touch his nose. Klinger starts carrying Radar's teddy bear, and is worried he's really going crazy, since he's looking at women and worried about what they're wearing. Radar is worried because of his teddy bear. The entire camp is building a bonfire, much to the chagrin of Potter, until Sid says that it's a great Both great episodes.

Maybe they believed in it, but just didn't think they needed it - they were just fine and didn't need any help. One of man's best deceptions is thinking that we're better than we really are.

Both were arrogant, though Charles had more class and dignity (not to mention more reason to have a swell head!) and eventually softened somewhat. It stands to reason that they'd look down on psychiatry, or at the very least, consider themselves to be in no need of such help.

I thought that was a hoot; although I will admit he played one well. Anyone else remember that interview?
