M*A*S*H

Change of Command - S4-E2

Other mistake: It's 1952 when Potter arrives at the 4077. He tells Radar that he joined the army during WWI when he was 15 (he lied about his age). That would mean that Potter was 50 when he arrives. But he said that he'd be retiring in 18 months. Also, in the episode "Point of View" Potter states that this was the first time in 37 years that he missed calling Mildred for their anniversary. That would mean that Potter was 13 when he got married.

Stuart Aaron

The Late Captain Pierce - S4-E4

Other mistake: When Digger shows Hawkeye the copy of the death certificate, Hawkeye steps out of the shower stall and its door swings back and forth. As Hawkeye wipes his face with the towel, we can see the top of the flesh colored covering Hawkeye is wearing. (00:08:05)

Super Grover

Hey, Doc - S4-E5

Other mistake: When the Colonel Griswald of the 1st Cavalry goes to leave camp, the Jeep he gets in is marked "4077 MASH" on the bumper instead of 1st Cav.

Movie Nut

The Price of Tomato Juice - S4-E15

Other mistake: Actor Jeff Maxwell plays Private Igor Straminsky, however when Maj. Burns is in line and asks for his name, he replies "Maxwell" and Burns in turn repeats the name "Maxwell", instead of "Straminsky."

Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen - S11-E16

Other mistake: How did Hawkeye Pierce, a surgeon, know how to drive a tank? It is nothing like driving a car and takes skills, training and experience that a surgeon simply would not have. He wouldn't even be able to start the engine.
