Although there's already news of one MASH episode being rejected by the network (the episode where soldiers were standing outside in the Korea winter, trying to get hypothermia so they could get discharged) according to Larry Gelbart there was another script that was rejected as well. Gelbart seems to think this is the ONLY script that was rejected; he does not remember the one with the freezing soldiers. The script was called "Hawkeye on the Double", written by future Wonder Woman creator Stanley Ralph Ross, and is available to read on the Martinis & Medicine DVD collection. The following interview with the Archives of American Television describes the rejected script: "According to series co-creator Larry Gelbart, there was only ever one script that the network said no to, and it came "very early" in M*A*S*H's run. It was about Hawkeye carrying on with two different nurses, and they decide to teach him a lesson and both tell him they're pregnant, and both say that he's the father. Gelbart said in an interview with the Archive of American Television: "That is the one and only script that CBS said under no circumstances will you be able to do this script."'
