1. Who do you prefer as the company clerk: Radar or Klinger?
Radar.

2. What is your favorite potterism?
"Road apples!"


3. Who worked his way through med school selling burial plots?
Frank Burns, I think?


4. Name five famous people who made guest appearances on M*A*S*H.
Ron Howard, I know. Shoot, no one else comes to mind.

Robert Alda?

7. What is Pierce’s nickname and how did he get it?
Hawkeye...he loved the book "Last of the Mohicans".

I can't remember. This is fun.

9. Where are the outside scenes of M*A*S*H shot?
The Hollywood Hills.

10. Why was Spearchucker dropped from the show after season one?
No clue.

Surprising how much I can't remember. I used to watch it every day from 5-6, then again at 7:30 on a different channel On Monday nights, I'd watch it a fourth time, the new episode.
I always liked Sargeant Zale, too.

Another MASH-related show I liked in my youth was "Trapper John, MD", with Pernell Roberts as the now-middle-aged Trapper John Macintire practicing in San Francisco as a hospital resident.
They purposely avoided any MASH references, to their credit, I suppose, but I think it would have been cool to have, say, Larry Linville come on as an ill or injured Frank Burns, perhaps visiting Frisco on vacation or for a convention.
It might have been interesting to see how they'd have them interact all those years later.

To me the "Frank Burns as resident fall guy" was getting old, so when Winchester came on the scene and became a worthy apponent, it added a lot.

I agree; that was what Larry Gelbart wanted to do, though, he didn't want to simply replace Burns with another Doofus. So, he made Winchester his own man; a gifted surgeon, an intelligent debater and quipster to match wits with Hawkeye and BJ (by that time), and a capable prankster, too, when such a need arose.
Winchester was, I feel, a much more well-rounded character to begin with than they ever allowed Burns to become. No wonder Linville quit.

By the by...Mike Farrell is a big proponent of the "Clemency for Tookie Williams" movement among celebrities. Big shock there.

When I was in the states, my wife and I would watch it everynight on Fox at 10, and I think it came on another channel earlier in the day, but I can't remember which. Now we have the DVDs! (missing the last three seasons however)

I always liked Sargeant Zale, too.

Me too, I like what they did with the Klinger/Zale rivalry, especially when they punched out Burns! ha ha ha

I have heard of this "spin-off" as well as AfterM*A*S*H, but have not seen any of them!

Yeah, I read they is why LL quit, he felt he had taken the character as far as he could. I love the Winchester character, he often one-ups Hawkeye and BJ, but also has a very humane and caring side to him.
I feel that did the same thing with Trapper, they did not replace him with a clone. BJ was a family man, faithful to his wife, more religious, more clean cut and innocent, yet a jokster deluxe! Love him...

by the way, what does "BJ" stand for? Anyone?

BJ was named for his parents... Bea and Jay Hunnicutt.

I've noticed one glaring omission though, and he's one of my favorite side characters...

Col. Flagg!

Give the man some props ppl!

1. Who do you prefer as the company clerk: Radar or Klinger?

3. Who worked his way through med school selling burial plots?Don't know, but probably Burns.
4. Name five famous people who made guest appearances on M*A*S*H.Why has everyone only thought of males? Famous females were Shelley Long, Teri Garr, Blythe Danner (Gwyneth Paltrow's mother), Mariette Hartley and Joan Van Ark. More males: Robert Alda (Alan's father)and Mako.

Potter

What other character did Harry Morgan play on the show?

that one guyinslc

BJ was named for his parents... Bea and Jay Hunnicutt.

It's been a while since I have seen that episode, I know he says that, but I think he was joking. I am leaning toward the answer "Whatever you want it to." I could definately be wrong on this one though.

Col. Flagg!

Yes, yes our good 'ole masochistic, paranoid Col. Good times!

Great point! Good job with the listing too!

What other character did Harry Morgan play on the show? I believe that was Col. Steele (three "e"s, not all in a row), it I'm not wrong, it was at the beginning of the third season when he played this role. 24 ParaTed2k on Dec 03, 2005 Surprising how much I can't remember. I used to watch it every day from 5-6, then again at 7:30 on a different channel On Monday nights, I'd watch it a fourth time, the new episode. I watched it all the time too. I pretty much quit watching it when my wife or kids could surf through it. After just a few seconds of watching I would identify the episode (complete with guest characters, jokes, puns, great one-liners, and gags played on each other). They are one of the few series I would go out and buy though. 25 Ionolast on Dec 03, 2005 I believe that was Col. Steele (three "e"s, not all in a row), it I'm not wrong, it was at the beginning of the third season when he played this role. No, he played an insane general. I can't remember the character's name. 26 ParaTed2k on Dec 03, 2005 Yeah, he was the General who walked out of the court martial singing "Don't stick your feet in the Mississippi mud". 27 AvantiTexan on Dec 03, 2005 Iconoclast No, he played an insane general. I can't remember the character's name. Parated2k Yeah, he was the General who walked out of the court martial singing "Don't stick your feet in the Mississippi mud". Yall are right, I was referring to that character but put Col instead of Gen, same dude though. Gen. Something Hamilton Steele was the character's name. 28 Dr Guy on Dec 04, 2005 Col. Flagg! Give the man some props ppl! Edwin WInter also played Capt halloran in one episode!  CID (or CIA, or MI, or....)  Different name, same actor!  Just not as paranoid. 29 Dr Guy on Dec 04, 2005 No, he played an insane general. I can't remember the character's name. He was a general, but the name is correct. 30 AvantiTexan on Dec 07, 2005 Another reference to Hawkeye's sister: In "The General Flipped at Dawn" Trapper asks Hawk how many more kidney stones he needs to finish the necklace for his sister. I was thinking just the other day, there may be, in fact, more references to his sister/mother than there are to him being an only child without a mom. 3 PagesPrev1 2 3 Next    Welcome Guest!
