There is a lost episode of MASH. The producers filmed one episode which was not shown by CBS; it was rejected. Due to the content of the episode CBS rejected it; because it was too unpatriotic, and too iconoclastic to the army and the US Government, they felt. The episode has various 4077th soldiers standing outside in the freezing cold of Korea so that they can make themselves sick enough to be sent home. Margaret, Hawkeye and the other doctors at the 4077 try to combat this and bring the soldiers back inside; and the episode is about the struggle that ensues. This was rejected by CBS, who said it was too disturbing, and too disparaging, even though this did in fact happen during the Korean war. That soldier tactic was apparently frequently used during the Korean War; as well as other wars. But when the episode was shown to CBS, they rejected it, and then 20th Century Fox and Ken Levine/Gene Reynolds and company were forced to show a rerun. The episode was supposedly thrown away, and no one has seen it in 40 years since it was filmed.
