The General Flipped at Dawn

⇑
⇓

Continuity: Actor Lynnette Mettey was introduced in the episode "Carry On Hawkeye" (series 2) as Lt. Anderson - in the episode "The General Flipped At Dawn" her character's name changed to Nurse Baker.

Edit

Officer of the Day

⇑
⇓

Continuity: Hawkeye is in the Swamp talking with Trapper. Hawkeye leaves and walks past the tent - Trapper is not inside.

⇓

Continuity: When Radar is going to bed, he takes his shirt off and his upper body is naked. When he puts the blanket over his teddy bear you can see sleeves. Next shot, he is naked again.

Edit Picture

Iron Guts Kelly

⇑
⇓

Factual error: When Frank sits down on Margaret's bed, he pulls a single metal star out of his butt. Kelly being a Lt. Gen, he should have (and has, as can be seen in other scenes) a single bar of three interconnected stars, not three single ones. Therefore Frank shouldn't be able to find a solitary star in Margaret's bed.

Edit Time
⇑
⇓

Continuity: After Iron Guts Kelly dies in Margaret's tent, Frank Burns visits Margaret, suspecting something. Frank asks why there is a general's star on her cot. In the ensuing 'back and forth' dialogue, Margaret's hair goes (in close ups) from nicely combed, to frazzled, back to nicely combed again (and in a different light).

Edit
⇑
⇓

Continuity: The length of the chewing gum hanging from Henry's hat differs between the front and rear shots.

⇑
⇓

Continuity: In the episode Iron Guts Kelly, Col. Wardman first calls Iron Gut Kelly a Lt. General, then a Maj. General then he goes back to Lt. General.

Edit

Springtime

⇑
⇓

Factual error: Radar mentions to a nurse he's smitten with that the movie that night is "Firstborn of Godzilla." Godzilla (the movie, not the monster) wasn't released until 1954.

Check-Up

⇑
⇓

Factual error: Another premature mention of Godzilla when Col. Blake announces that night's movie, "Godzilla and the Bobby Soxer".

Alcoholics Unanimous

⇑
⇓

Revealing: When the tent roof caves in and the projector shorts out in a gush of water from above,, you can see, that actually the projector "shorts out" before the tent roof ruptures. The crew probably didn't want to risk the pyrotechnic devices getting wet.

Edit Time
⇑
⇓

Continuity: When Trapper turns around to ask Klinger for the status about the movie's sound, a small patch of his hat becomes wet from the roof's leaking, but in the next shot, his whole hat is instantly soaked.

Edit Submitted by Cubs Fan Picture Time
⇑
⇓

Continuity: During the scene which culminates in Frank declaring the camp dry the patches of water on his helmet change position.

A Full Rich Day

⇑
⇓

Continuity: The mud spots on Lt.Smith's face change from scene to scene.

Edit Submitted by jle Time

Mad Dogs and Servicemen

⇑
⇓

Other: Hawkeye, Henry and Trapper are playing scrabble. The board is in an illegal state - in the lower right corner 'it', 'jot', 'joy' 'yearn' and 'in' are not connected to the rest of the words. Since the others call Hawkeye on his non-existant word, I'm assuming they're playing properly.

Private Charles Lamb

⇑
⇓

Audio problem: At the end of the show, when Trapper is playing his instrument, the music does not match the movements of his hand.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Continuity: In some shots the Spam lamb has mashed potato eyes and a carrot mouth, in others it has green eyes and no obvious mouth.

Edit Submitted by jle Picture Time
⇑
⇓

Continuity: In the shot where Hawkeye presents the Spam lamb to Henry, he sets it down, and Henry asks him what it is. Behind Henry, you can see Hawkeye's shadow - and see his lips mouth the word "A Spam lamb". The camera then changes to a close-up of Hawkeye, saying "A Spam lamb".

Edit

Bulletin Board

⇑
⇓

Continuity: First, Radar is seen drumming on his tin cans with bare hands. After cut, when the hula girl appears, without interruption of the drum pattern, he suddenly is holding some sort of drumsticks.

Edit Time

Big Mac

⇑
⇓

Continuity: Just after the announcement that General MacArthur is coming, Trapper puts on his sunglasses, then the shot switches to Henry walking, and in the background Trapper is putting his glasses on again.

Edit

Payday

⇑
⇓

Continuity: When Radar talks to Hawkeye at the officer's club, Radar moves his hand from his chin to the bar top, but in the next shot his hand is back up on his chin.
