There's finally a clip of M*A*S*H's "sister show", ROLL OUT! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e11cq0WY4aE Larry Gelbart and Gene Reynolds produced this show in 1973, and hoped M*A*S*H's newfound popularity would help bolster this program, but it didn't.

Hilly Hicks (Jed) made two guest appearances on M*A*S*H, first as "Perkins" the penicillin thief from "White Gold" (3x23) and Corporal Moody the racially oppressed medic from "Post-Op" (5x24); and Teddy Wilson (High Strung) was the chopper pilot in "The General Flipped at Dawn" (3x01). In all honesty... I can kind of see potential for this show, but I think the fact that both CBS and Larry and Gene trying to use M*A*S*H's success to bolster this show is utimately what caused it to fail. That and it seems like whereas Larry and Gene tried to avoid making the war serve as backdrop for lighthearted hijinx at the front on M*A*S*H, they just it all hang out on ROLL OUT!... it comes across as a really silly show.

Val also was the cook that clashed with Charles and chuckled when Potter said that he was in charge of Charles. Ed Begley Jr. stared as Conway, the bumbling soldier who was a first class clerk.

I meant that Conway was a first class CHEF!

The "hijinks at the front" remark that was used a few times during the 30th Anniversary special comes to mind. It seems like Just Another Service Comedy; in other words, everything M*A*S*H tried so hard not to be, and thankfully wasn't.
