'M*A*S*H' - Season 1 Trivia

1. Hawkeye and Trapper are exhausted, it's time for a break. The two doctors request, nay, demand a three-day pass to Tokyo and Henry acquiesces. In what hotel will the Swamp rats be holed up for their projected three days of Tokyo bliss?

From Quiz 'M*A*S*H' - 'Cease Fire'

Answer: Dai Ichi Hotel

Apparently, the Dai Ichi Hotel is a high quality place, with room service, real beds and 'hot and cold running maids'. Tokyo will never be the same after Hawkeye and Trapper get finished with it!

From Quiz 'M*A*S*H' - 'Major Fred C. Dobbs'

Answer: Ginger

Played by Odessa Cleveland, Ginger Bayliss appears in 22 total 'M*A*S*H' episodes, including 11 during the first season. In this episode, she is the target of Frank Burns' anger, probably in part as a result of the razzing he takes from Hawkeye and Trapper!

From Quiz 'M*A*S*H' - 'Sticky Wicket'

Answer: Ugly John

While Hawkeye, Radar and Trapper attempt to walk away with each other's money at the poker table, Ugly John pleasantly sleeps away the afternoon. His comfortable nap is disturbed however by a call for all surgical personnel in the O.R. He wakes to an ace-high flush, which Hawkeye claims was '2 hours ago'.

From Quiz 'M*A*S*H' - 'Dear Dad'

Answer: Parts of a jeep

In the early episodes of 'M*A*S*H' Radar is so mischievous, isn't he? Radar is in the process of mailing a jeep home 'piece by piece'. Hawkeye and Trapper uncover Radar's plan after taking a fluoroscope of one of his boxes. When Henry inquires about a package he helps Radar tie up with ropes, Radar claims that the box is full of toys for orphans.

From Quiz Name That Episode: Season 1

Answer: "Germ Warfare"

Hawkeye and Trapper trick Frank into drinking a beer so they could obtain a urine sample. Then, while they are waiting for the test results, they have to make sure that Frank doesn't operate on patients (or on Margaret). They even go so far as to handcuff his arms around Margaret so that he won't enter the operating room and potentially spread the disease.

From Quiz 'M*A*S*H' - 'Cowboy'

Answer: He has been wounded in the shoulder

Cowboy is ably played by Billy Bush. I'm not sure why he is nicknamed 'Cowboy', maybe it is because he wears a two-gun holster, a cowboy hat and cowboy boots, hmm? Kidding aside, the poor fellow has been wounded in the chest, and after landing on the helipad, he exits his chopper and collapses to the ground.

From Quiz 'M*A*S*H' - 'Bananas, Crackers and Nuts'

Answer: The still is dry

After emerging from the O.R., Trapper insists that they need a meal, but Hawkeye trumps him with the suggestion of an aperitif. Unfortunately, they have had such a long operating session that the still has been neglected. This causes what Trapper terms 'our first fight...us against them', to which Hawkey responds, 'Whoever the them we were always us!'

From Quiz 'M*A*S*H' - 'The Moose'

Answer: Young Hi

Young Hi is played by Virginia Lee, while Baker is portrayed by Paul Jenkins. Baker asks Hawkeye where he might find Colonel Blake. Hawkeye's marvelous response: 'Yes, Sergeant. You go straight down there, turn left and you look for a broken down, dirty, old man and you follow him.' 'Yes, sir. He'll take me to Colonel Blake?' asks Baker. 'That *is* Colonel Blake,' Hawkeye responds.

From Quiz 'M*A*S*H' - 'The Ringbanger'

Answer: Buzz Brighton

Colonel Buzz Brighton, played by Leslie Nielson of 'The Naked Gun' and 'Airplane' fame, is a swaggering, manly tough guy colonel who has been featured in 'Stars and Stripes' enough times to make Hot Lips drool. In fact, her gawking at the colonel elicits the following line from Hawkeye, "Careful major, somebody's liable to trip over your tongue!"

From Quiz 'M*A*S*H' - 'Tuttle'

Answer: Hawkeye's childhood imaginary friend

Tuttle was Hawkeye's imaginary childhood friend, the one who took the blame for all of his little mishaps. If he spilled his milk, broke a vase or played hookie from class, he could conveniently blame Tuttle!

From Quiz 'M*A*S*H' - 'Sometimes You Hear the Bullet'

Answer: Communist China

From Quiz 'M*A*S*H' - 'Dear Dad'

Answer: Red

In the movie and book versions of 'M*A*S*H', Father Mulcahy's nickname is 'Dago Red', referencing the color of his hair. This is the only example of the nickname 'Red' being used for Father Mulcahy in the TV version. I guess it didn't make sense calling Mulcahy 'Red' when he didn't have red hair.

From Quiz 'M*A*S*H' - 'Germ Warfare'

Answer: AB negative

The two apparently have a relatively rare blood type, as Frank is the only one at the 4077th who has blood available for the young soldier. Radar discovers this off a chart that he brings to the Swamp, and he happily shares this information with the doctors not named Frank.

From Quiz 'M*A*S*H' - 'Bananas, Crackers and Nuts'

Answer: A trip to the R&R Center in Tokyo

Hawkeye talks of two days in Tokyo, and Trapper makes it three. Unfortunately, Henry is having none of it and reduces their Tokyo trip to a pipedream, even despite Hawkeye's mad pleadings.

The physical includes X-rays, blood pressure checks, urine samples and a lollipop in the end. The results come up negative, Radar's health is perfectly fine. The mystery continues!

From Quiz 'M*A*S*H' - 'Showtime'

Answer: Chest

In a strange turn of events, Trapper gets to play medical hero in this episode, perhaps Larry Gelbart and the other creators realized that they had been somewhat unbalanced with the two main characters, giving Hawkeye all the glory, so they made this attempt to even things a bit. Ironically, Trapper is working on a chest case, normally Hawkeye's specialty. I think it's safe to say that there was some confusion as to what should be done with the Trapper character in the early years, and this perhaps helped lead to the departure of Wayne Rogers after season 3.
