This thread was made for the greatest show ever made.....M*A*S*H. For quotes that you use, favorite episodes, favorite characters, whatever. Join me in fond remembrances, classic plots, the oddity that while Hawkeye was a sheer pacifist, he remains one of my favorite characters ever!!! I recall one scene in an episode titled The Moose where Spearchucker and Trapper had major issues with a girl coming in and cleaning up The Swamp, and Trapper saying, Someone came in here and committed a neatness!!....a line I use when the opportunity arises. (Not that anyone ever cleans my house for me, but...) What are your favorite parts/scenes/episodes/characters?

Oh, geez.... Radar, upon returning from R&R, found his office to be an absolute pigsty. Klinger had exploded in there, and the place was...well...a war zone. (sorry, couldn't resist). Later in the mess tent, Radar encountered Klinger, who asked how the office was going. Radar's response: "I cleaned it up. There was another mess underneath!" Charles, upon encountering a woman with whom he shared a drunken weekend in Tokyo: "Do you mind if I ask you a very personal question?....What is your NAME?!?!?!????" Charles, upon being asked by Hawkeye how many drinks he had had during said drunken weekend: "Oh, two, three.....bowls." Frank: Why do people take an instant dislike to me? Hawkeye: Saves time. Charles: One does not wax philosophical when one is about to be sent to Leavenworth. My God. That's in Kansas. Frank: I love it here. Potter: Either you or Klinger is nuts. Now I have to figure out which one. Flagg (a personal fave of mine): I've got to nip this guy in the bud. This sort of behavior is contagious, you know. One guy decides he's not gonna fight anymore, it catches on, and pretty soon you know what we've got? BJ: Peace? Klinger (Part of a sing-along in the mess tent): Oh, some guys like the army; I think that it's a mess. If it's so damn terrific, how come I wear a dress??? Margaret: Oh, Frank. You're so above average. Frank: It's nice to be nice...to the nice. Henry: Do we have enough sherry and ginger ale for the General? Radar: Oh, nobody does, sir. Henry: Oh, fine, then, if nobody does we don't have to. But make sure we do, just in case we don't.

Later in the mess tent, Radar encountered Klinger, who asked how the office was going. Radar's response: "I cleaned it up. There was another mess underneath!" Ok, first off, it was in the officer's club, not the mess tent. Frank: Why do people take an instant dislike to me? That conversation took place between Ferret-face and Trapper, not Hawkeye. If you're going to quote my all-time favorite show....GET IT RIGHT!!!   And where the hell is Mud? He calls himself a fan?  You can cut me off from the civilized world; you can incarcerate me with two moronic cellmates, you can poison me with your thrice daily swill, but you cannot break the spirit of a Winchester. My voice shall be heard, and I shall be delivered from this foetid and festering sewer!!! ^^^^ One of the best scenes in the show. ^^^^

It was so typical of him.

Most Tear-Jerking / Wistful Episode besides the last one: Henry's leaving and death. Funniest Episode: Frank's tank. Second funniest: Margaret Drunk Most Sureal Episode: 5 O'clock Charlie Best Character: Hawkeye...duh. Best Hawkeeye sidekick: Trapper (the second one)

Saint wrote: Best Hawkeeye sidekick: Trapper (the second one) Well, make up your mind. Is it Trapper, or is it the second one? Sidekick #1: "Trapper" John McIntyre, played by Wayne Rogers, appeared in seasons 1-4. Sidekick #2: B.J. Hunnicut, played by Mike Farrell, appeared in seasons 5-11. Next fave: Trapper, at a party celebrating his appointment to Chief Surgeon: "No. No booze. I want sex. {spots Hotlips across the mess tent} Her. The sultry bitch with the fire in her eyes. Bring her to me. Take her clothes off and bring her to me."

Favorite all time episode was the final one. Sad to see the show gone, but I always thought they did well with the ending. I also always remember Henry Blake'd death, and Radar tearfully announcing it to the surgeons.

One; the cast didn't know till the day of filming that Blake was being "killed off" the show. And two; at the very end when Radar announces Henry's death, someone on the set mistakenly drops an instrument. It is a very distinctive sound in the silence after the news. Instead of editing the noise out, the writers decided that it sort of "jolted" everyone in the OR back to reality and they left it in.

I remember reading about the dropped instrument, but not about the cast not knowing....wonder if it was so the reaction would be genuine.

Marie5656 wrote: I remember reading about the dropped instrument, but not about the cast not knowing....wonder if it was so the reaction would be genuine. Absolutely that was why. And to prevent the cast from being overly-emotional while the filming was going on, since they were losing a favored cast member. Gary Burghoff was interviewed on a 30th anniversary show and said his tears were quite genuine; that he didn't have to act to coax the tears to come. I have to imagine that Larry Linville, (Major Frank Burns - aka "Ferret-face") could have had a hard time occasionally. I really hated Frank!! He was such a pansy. I remember another episode where he puts in the paperwork for a Purple Heart because he got an egg shell fragment in his eye. He wrote up the request as just "shell fragment". The puke. Geeze, I couldn't stand him!!!

I could have sworn that there was another "Trapper" for the first show or couple of shows, before Wayne Rogers came along. It was only for a show or two though, I think.

My DVD library contains the pilot episode, which is playing as I type. Wayne Rogers played Trapper in the pilot and in seventy-one more episodes from 1972 - 1975.

I have just watched the episode about the big huge camp/unit bonfire. POP QUIZ!!!! What does the character - Sidney Freidman (the shrink) - do at the very end of this episode? Bonus question; what song does the cast sing? (Only hint........lice.)
