Henry's Lectures

As Hawkeye notes in his letter home in "Dear Dad," Army rules included a monthly lecture which was reluctantly done by Henry Blake. There were three such lecture scenes throughout the run of M*A*S*H; unfortunately, two of them (in "Dear Dad" and "As You Were") are cut out in U.S. syndication. Below are pics and sound clips from each of Henry's lectures. (Because of the size of the sound clips, please understand they will take awhile to load depending upon your connection.)

Trapper: "What's the announcement, Radar?"
Radar: "It's a lecture. Colonel Blake's gonna tell us everything he knows about sex."
