The nostalgia network has been airing the celebrated military/medical comedy since its national launch 20 years ago and this week pays tribute to one of its signature stars with a nightly series featuring some of Loretta Swit’s most memorable episodes. Swit, who passed away May 30 at 87, was best known as proud Major Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan, who more than held her own against an ensemble of wacky male cutups and won two Emmys in the early 1980s. Tonight’s episodes, from Season 6 in 1977 (starting at 7/6c), find Margaret and Hawkeye (Alan Alda) in each other’s arms while trapped in enemy territory. Needless to say, the intimacy doesn’t last. (The entire series is available for streaming on Hulu.)
