Lil - S7-E3

Trivia: In this episode, Hawkeye is trying to find out what "B.J." stands for. Despite all of his efforts, nothing works. This was based on Johnny Cash. Upon his birth, his mom wanted to name him 'John', and his dad preferred 'Ray'. When he enlisted in the Air Force, they wouldn't accept initials as a name, so he chose 'John R. Cash'.

As You Were - S2-E20

Trivia: When Radar was on the phone saying he was an officer, he answered "Uh, well, I'm, uh, nineteen." I know it was for the show, but when this episode aired in 1974, Gary Burghoff was 31 years old at the time.

To Market, to Market - S1-E2

Trivia: When Hawkeye and Trapper approach and park in front of the restaurant, there is an M*A*S*H flag on a tall whip antennae. Unless I am mistaken, it's the only time such an antennae and flag set up appears on the Jeeps.

Trivia: As Tom takes Margaret between the stacks of equipment, the top crate closest to the camera on the right side of the screen has ICE CREAM CHURNS stenciled on it, and 'M.A.S.H. 8063 RD' in white. Possibly a mistaken delivery.

Cementing Relationships - S9-E3

The Army-Navy Game - S1-E20

Trivia: Three bits of trivia. (1) The game was total fiction, with a final score of Navy 42, Army 36. No Army-Navy game has ended with that score.

(3) Though not named in the credits, host Tom Kennedy was the voice of the radio commentator, a fact he confirmed in an interview in 2003.

Dear Dad - S1-E12

Trivia: Interestingly, Klinger is seen in full standard uniform. Otherwise, for the next several seasons until he takes over as clerk, he almost strictly wears dresses. In real life, Jamie Farr phased out the dresses so his kids wouldn't be teased in school.

Hot Lips and Empty Arms - S2-E14
