MASH

The first colonel, or commander of the M*A*S*H 4077th, was Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Blake.

Three of the cast members from M*A*S*H; Harry Morgan, William Christopher, and Jamie Farr continued in the almost successful spinoff show called "After MASH". It only ran for one and a half seasons.

Colonel Potter's horse's name was Sophie.

Maxwell Klinger married Laverne Esposito.

In the season 7 episode "A Night at Rosie's" (which aired Feb 26 1979), Hawkeye, BJ, and Scully called their country "Rosieland" in honor of Rosie's Bar. Hawkeye originally wanted to call their country "Canada" but it had allready been taken.

Mike Farrell's character of B.J.Hunnicutt replaced 'Trapper' John Macintyre, played by Wayne Rogers.

It was a nickname he gave himself because his father was a really big fan of Hawk Eye in the book The Last of the Mohicans. It's a name that certainly seems to suit him perfectly in the series.

M*A*S*H ran from 1972 to 1983.

Trapper's orders simply came through. He left without Hawkeye's knowledge because Hawkeye was in Tokyo on R&R. Hawkeye tried to track him down, but his aeroplane left Kempo airfield about twenty minutes before Hawkeye arrived.

September 1972

Radar played drums on one episode of MASH.

He made out with a general's wife, because he thought it was Magret. So the general sent him to the state because he thought Frank was crazy

Wayne Rogers left M*A*S*H, according to rumors, because when he had originally signed on to play the Trapper John McIntyre character, he was led to believe that Trapper would share equal billing with the Hawkeye Pierce character which would be played by Alan Alda. Rogers thought that the producers were short changing his Trapper character and giving more screen time to Hawkeye than to Trapper, so he decided to leave the series at the end of Season 3. Unfortunately for Rogers, as the show began to become more successful in the Nielsen Ratings during the latter part of the second season Alan Alda's Hawkeye proved to be more popular with both fans and critics of the show.

Rogers did, however, still enjoy working with Alda and the rest of cast as a whole (Alda and Rogers quickly became close life-long friends), but eventually chafed that the writers were devoting the show's best humorous and dramatic moments to Alda. This problem would lead him to decide to depart from the cast (along with fellow cast member McLean Stevenson, who played Col. Henry Blake) after the third season, in spite of the fact the the show had become a top-rated sitcom.

On M*A*S*H, Radar's uncle died and his mother needed his help since she was otherwise alone tending to the family farm. He was able to leave the army on compassionate grounds. In real life, Gary Burghoff made the choice to leave because he wished to spend more time with his family.

M*A*S*H, the television show and movie, were satirical comedies. They did not make an effort to be funny all the time because the subject matter was very serious. The television series did deal with issues of the time, and in the later days they became almost "preachy".

February 1983

Yes, but only on reruns. Two episodes are currently shown each day on Sky, comedy channel, in the UK. (April 09)

MASH is a very serious show that has a lot of comedy in it to soften the seriousness of the theme.

There were one.
