•Radar appears for the final time in "Good-Bye Radar: Part 1", and "Good-Bye Radar: Part 2", a two-part episode arc, both which kick off the new season.
•Both B.J.who has a hard time stomaching the concept of Radar, who was to meet with his wife Peg and daughter Erin when he landed stateside upon his stop in San Francisco, being called "Daddy" by Erin, and Klinger, who was having an equally hard time meshing into his new job as company clerk, drown out their frustrations in booze before B.J. strikes Hawkeye after an argument concerning the meeting Radar and Erin, and he missing his family because of the war in •Susan Saint James of the McMillan and Wife TV series fame appears as Aggie O'Shea, a visiting photojournalist who takes a shine to B.J. in "War Co-Respondent".
•Howard Platt, who is best known for his role as Officer "Hoppy" Hopkins on NBC-TV's Sanford and Son appears as Major Ted Spector, who gives Hawkeye and B.J. an Army style red-tape/runaround hard time when the medical staff, that finds an American/Korean baby left at the 4077th, try to figure what to do with the child in "Yessir, That’s Our Baby".
•Veteran TV/film actor Pat Hingle guest stars as Colonel Daniel Webster Tucker, an old war buddy of Col. Potter, who appears as a hardnosed stickler as a visiting inspector in playing a practical joke on the medical staff with Potter in the season finale episode "April Fools".
•This table lists the episodes in the order they were first broadcast. The episodes were not all broadcast in the same order as they were produced. The broadcast order is also the order of episodes in the DVD set. However, syndicated reruns and paid streaming services such as Netflix sometimes follow the production order (e.g.S-601, S-602, S-603....)
•There were the following gaps in the dates of the original broadcasts:
•February 25, 1980 - no episode
•March 17, 1980 - a repeat of The Yalu Brick Road was broadcast. Reason is unknown but could be to bring the April Fools episode closer to April 1.
