Early life and career
A graduate of Fairfax High School,[1] Prelutsky was a film critic for Los Angeles Magazine from 1961 to 1971, writing acerbic reviews that gained him a reputation as "the fastest barb in the west." He also wrote a weekly column for the Los Angeles Times' magazine, West.[2]
In the late 1960s he wrote several episodes of the Dragnet TV series.[3]
He wrote eight episodes of the M*A*S*H TV series during seasons four, five, and six, including The Novocaine Mutiny,[4]Шаблон:Rp The General's Practitioner,[4]Шаблон:Rp The Grim Reaper[4]Шаблон:Rp and Quo Vadis, Captain Chandler?[4]Шаблон:Rp
