Radar's Report

⇑
⇓

Other: Radar says the weekly report is for the 17th to the 22nd inclusive. A 6 day week in the middle of a war?

⇓

Continuity: The psychiatrist is called Milton Freedman in this episode and Sydney Freedman in all other episodes in which he appears (always being played by the same actor - it is the same psychiatrist).

⇓

Continuity: When Hawkeye passes by Frank on his way to Lt. Johnson's, he's holding a bottle of gin up near his waist. In the next shot, his arm is resting down by his side.

For the Good of the Outfit

⇑
⇓

Continuity: Henry pops out the golf ball he is washing into the towel. After he finishes talking to Hawkeye, he resumes washing. However, no ball is missing from the dirty pile.

⇓

Revealing: Frank is shaving; when he bends down to pick up the envelope containing shrapnel fragments, the foam on his face and ear suddenly all dries up. The shot must have needed a lot of takes.

Kim

⇑
⇓

Continuity: In the first scenes of Kim in the minefield, he is sitting on a big white rock. During the scene where he is rescued by helicopter, he is standing on flat ground and the rock is on the other side of the shot, near Trapper.

The Trial of Henry Blake

The Sniper

⇑
⇓

Revealing: When the sniper begins his attack, a sandlot football game is in progress in the compound. As the quarterback goes back to throw a pass, and waits just long enough for the ball to be "shot" out of his hand.

Edit

Deal Me Out

⇑
⇓

Factual error: In this episode, Henry is seen handing Radar the keys to his jeep. While this probably benefited the understanding of the audience, it is historically incorrect. Jeeps assigned to a combat zone were outfitted with an ignition switch, not an ignition lock, for the simple reason that in an emergency the vehicle had to be useable by anyone.

Hot Lips and Empty Arms

⇑
⇓

Continuity: When Margaret is drinking all of Henry's booze it is daylight outside. Radar brings news of incoming casualties so they rush outside where it is pitch dark.

Edit Submitted by jle Time
⇑
⇓

Continuity: Margaret is in Henry's office drunk and she tells Henry that he looks just like her father did before he died. In Season 9. Episode 4 "Father's Day" Margaret's father, Alvin 'Howitzer' Houlihan, visits her at the 4077.

Officers Only

⇑
⇓

Revealing: The first scene is set in the X-Ray room. There is an X-Ray up on a lightbox in the background. Towards the end of episode 14, there is a scene in the O.R. - the exact same X-Ray is visible in the background there as well.

For Want of a Boot

⇑
⇓

Visible crew/equipment: When Frank and Hot Lips are walking into the mess tent for Frank's surpise party, if you look in the window to the right of the door, you can see a person silhouetted, throwing leaves into the wind.

Operation Noselift

⇑
⇓

Revealing: When Henry is trying to convince Baker how wonderful the camp is, Henry says that they "had 'The Thing' and 'The Blob' both in one week". "The Blob" was made in 1958. This season of M*A*S*H is set in 1951 and 1952 (and the war ended in 1953).

⇓

Revealing: When Baker is talking with Father Mulcahy it is clear that Baker's nose is prosthetic. The colour doesn't match as well as it does in other scenes.
