This pilot film is often characterized as being a spin-off of M*A*S*H, but regrettably there is little to no evidence to support the idea. However it was created to capitalize on M*A*S*H's success and has a similar setting (a M*A*S*H unit).
David Dukes, Okay Miller, Howard George, Ted Wass, Dick Yarmy, and Vernon Weddle are guest stars and would not have continued as part of the regular cast if this series had continued beyond the first episode.
