'M*A*S*H' - Season 4 Trivia

1. After a marathon session of surgery, the doctors and nurses are completely pooped. Frank suggested that he could sleep for a week. Margaret doesn't like this idea, however, as she claims that Frank has promised to do what with her?

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

Answer: Paint her toenails

After 17 straight hours of surgery, you'd think that even Margaret's toenails could wait, but she insists that poor Frank take care of her toes. After overhearing this 'private' conversation, a bewildered Colonel Potter turns to Hawkeye for an explanation. 'His father was a world famous manicurist,' Hawkeye jests.

From Quiz "M*A*S*H" - "The Kids"

Answer: A session in O.R.

Hawkeye told BJ and Colonel Potter that the orphans stayed at the 4077th once before. Frank wasn't too happy to hear about the orphans coming back to the 4077th. He told the others that the orphans steal.

From Quiz 'M*A*S*H' - 'Hey, Doc'

Answer: A two-day vacation pass

Having run out of cash, Radar asks if 'youse guys' would be willing to allow a two-day vacation pass as a bet. Kimble replies, 'Put it in. Paper's paper.' Kimble wins with a full house over BJ's trio of eights.

From Quiz 'M*A*S*H' - 'The Late Captain Pierce'

Answer: BJ

Klinger wakes BJ up from his slumber to inform him that he has a phone call. Initially BJ believes the call is from his wife, but then learns that, oddly enough, it is from Hawkeye's father. BJ answers the call, but is unable to chat with Mr. Pierce before the phone call is disconnected. BJ just hears a 'how' and a 'why'.

From Quiz "Der Tag"- M*A*S*H 4077th

Answer: Avengers

The magazine is upside down on his stomach.

From Quiz Smilin' Jack

Answer: He takes pictures of the wounded.

Jack loves to take pictures of the wounded. This annoys Frank who says he will put him and Lt Cathy King on report for allowing him and his camera into the OR. Jack does take a picture of Frank to cheer him up.

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

Answer: Colonels

Colonel Potter chats with another colonel as Radar walks in carrying the Colonel's meal. After the phone conversation, Potter informs Radar that colonels cannot be trusted, mainly because they are just so close to becoming generals. Generals are okay, they've already made it, and majors and captains are too far away from the rank of general to worry about. But watch out for those rascally colonels!

From Quiz 'M*A*S*H' - 'The More I See You'

Answer: Boston

While Hawkeye reveals these important nuggets of information to BJ, he hides his face so that Carlye cannot see him in the Swamp. At least at first, he is unwilling to face the woman with whom he was apparently once very smitten!

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

Answer: He attempts to avoid some children running in the road

Two children suddenly rush onto the road, right in front of Hawkeye's jeep. In order to avoid them he takes a sharp turn and the jeep ends up on its side. An injured and disoriented Hawkeye is helped into a local hut by the family that lives there.

From Quiz 'M*A*S*H' - 'Der Tag'

Answer: Body

According to Margaret, Fred 'hasn't got a brain in his whole body', with an emphasis on 'body'. Frank instantly replies, 'What do you mean by 'body', why do you have to say 'body'? It seems that Margaret is essentially torturing Frank here, signalling the beginning of the end of their 'friendship'.

From Quiz 'M*A*S*H' - 'The Price of Tomato Juice'

Answer: Maxwell, sir.

Igor is in fact played by actor Jeff Maxwell, so this one was an odd moment in the show. It is later established that Igor's surname is Straminsky, a play on the name Igor Stravinsky. As for Frank's applesauce tirade, one line is absolutely priceless and must be repeated here: 'Apples don't grow on trees, you know!'

From Quiz 'M*A*S*H' - 'Of Moose and Men'

Answer: Colonel Spiker

Colonel Spiker is played by actor Tim O'Connor, who shows up in the season nine episode as Captain Norman Traeger, M.D. I'm not sure which character is more curmudgeonly between the two of them! O'Connor's most recognizable role on television was as the regular character Elliott Carson on the 1960's series 'Peyton Place'. He was also a regular character in the short lived series 'Buck Rogers in the 25th Century'.

From Quiz "M*A*S*H" - "The Kids"

Answer: Meg Cratty

In this episode, Nurse Cratty was played by Ann Doran. In the episode "The Trial Of Henry Blake" Cratty was played by Hope Summers.

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

Answer: Underwear

Radar writes: 'Your package and letter arrived this morning. The cake and cookies and the underwear were all delicious.' I'm not sure if poor Radar understands the concept of breaking up his sentences into proper grammatical clauses. Either that, or his mother indeed sent him edible underwear.

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

Answer: Squirrelly

When the Colonel writes 'squirrelly' Radar gives him a knowing and somewhat annoyed look, his radar-sense at work. During the first several episodes in which Colonel Potter appeared they tried to create a sense of tension between him and Radar. This makes sense when one considers that Colonel Blake had just died and Potter, who had replaced him, was 'regular army'.

From Quiz 'M*A*S*H' - 'The Late Captain Pierce'

Answer: Crabapple Cove

Hmm...a trick question, perhaps? 'Klinger, did you ever hear of Crabapple Cove?' asks Hawkeye. Klinger responds, 'Is that in the hygiene lecture?' Annoyed, Hawkeye answers, 'Crabapple Cove, Maine. We have a summer cottage there.' Hawkeye then proceeds to describe exactly why he is madly in love with the place that we all know of as his home town. Klinger doesn't seem interested...he falls asleep during Hawkeye's monologue.

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

Answer: Colonel Chaffey

Radar takes the Colonel's sidearm and places it where he believes it will be safe in the camp gun bin. This is standard operating procedure, according to Radar. The Colonel's six-shooter is chrome, with a bone grip, according to BJ.

From Quiz 'M*A*S*H' - 'Soldier of the Month'

Answer: Frank

Again, Frank is chosen. He is to judge the contestants on their dress and deportment (Klinger's already in trouble!) and finally he is to proctor a history exam. Let the games begin!

From Quiz 'M*A*S*H' - 'Quo Vadis, Captain Chandler?'

Answer: Radar

Radar, with clipboard in hand, walks through a bush of wounded men taking down information. At the back of the bus he leans over a captain and notices there are no dog tags. As a responce to Radar's request for his identity, the captain quietly replies 'Jesus Christ', but we don't actually hear him whisper the name. I suppose the director wanted to leave us in suspense for a bit!

From Quiz "Der Tag"- M*A*S*H 4077th

Answer: Fred

Margaret tells Frank that Fred crushed a beer can with two fingers.

From Quiz 'M*A*S*H' - 'Change of Command'

Answer: Radar

Radar, of course! He nosed through the official orders before handing them to Frank, for fear of retribution. Radar shows Hawkeye and BJ the notice prior to allowing Frank to take a look. When Frank finally sees the orders, he acts very rational and civil, but after entering Margaret's tent he throws a temper tantrum.

From Quiz 'M*A*S*H' - 'Welcome to Korea' (Part 2)

Answer: Strength through obedience

A Frank Burns-led 4077th is looking more and more exciting all the time! Margaret soon enters the tent and questions Frank about Hawkeye's absence (she did not make the order that he could leave!) Frank asks if Margaret has looked everywhere for Hawkeye, to which she responds, 'Obviously I've looked everywhere if I know that he's not anywhere, or nowhere!' Huh?

From Quiz Smilin' Jack

Answer: Superman

BJ is reading "Superman" which hit the stands in 1938. Frank then comes in and BJ teases Hot Lips about seeing her in her underwear.

From Quiz 'M*A*S*H' - 'The More I See You'

Answer: Becky Anderson

Becky Anderson is played by actress Mary Jo Catlett in this episode. Catlett would appear in one more 'M*A*S*H' episode, namely 'The Nurses', but as Nurse Walsh. She has appeared in numerous other movies and TV shows, but I best remember her as the Housekeeper Pearl Gallagher on 'Diff'rent Strokes'.

From Quiz 'M*A*S*H' - 'Some 38th Parallels'

Answer: Hands

Despite the fact that his father was horrified at baby Klinger ('Thanks for the eight-pound baby nose', he claimed), his mother was immediately enamored by the baby's hands. So great was her awe at his hands, she insisted that Klinger's father get him a violin. Amos, Klinger's father, promptly stole a violin for the boy.

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

Answer: Head

Hawkeye alarmingly finds blood after surveying his scalp. Suffering from symptoms such as an elevated pulse and profuse sweating, he believes that he has suffered a concussion.

From Quiz 'M*A*S*H' - 'Mail Call Again'

Answer: Angelica

Father Mulcahy's sister is a sister, that is, a nun. In this episode, he calls her Angelica, while in another episode he refers to her as Katherine. Apparently, Katherine is her birth name, while Maria Angelica is the name she assumes as a nun. Mulcahy learns that his sister is now coaching the girl's basketball team at St. Mary's, and quite successfully at that!

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

Answer: That crazy agnostic

Klinger informs BJ of a strange dream he has had, which involves a Section Eight, a return home and a rather substantial role for Margaret. BJ's diagnosis of the dream is that Klinger simply wants to go home...with Major Houlihan. Klinger's response: 'Yech!' Father Mulcahy is nervous about an inspection from the Divisional Chaplain, Colonel Maurice Hollister.

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

Answer: That everything is painted green

Hawkeye complains that everything is green in the army, except for the vegetables, of course. The only thing that is not painted green, according to Hawkeye, is the blood...and there's lots of that!

From Quiz 'M*A*S*H' - 'Smilin' Jack'

Answer: Dangerous Dan

While Jack has carried 839 wounded soldiers to the 4077th, Dangerous Dan has transported 842. Smilin' Jack seems intent to surpass Dangerous Dan and make 'Chopper Pilot of the Year', but some complications might prevent such a thing from happening as we shall see.
