'M*A*S*H' - 'Carry On, Hawkeye' Quiz

Answer: Yes

At the beginning of the episode, Hawkeye is shown feeding Trapper some oatmeal, or a substance that looks a lot like oatmeal. Trapper remains ill throughout the episode, and is unable to assist Hawkeye in surgery despite attempts to bring himself to his feet.

Trapper is soon followed by Henry and Frank, both of whom are also essentially bedridden throughout the episode.

Answer: Sheila Anderson

The odd thing about this scene is that he is talking to Lynette Mettey, an actress who had already made several previous appearances on 'M*A*S*H', most recently in the season one episode 'Cease Fire', aired just eight months prior. Mettey was known as Lt. Nancy Griffin during season one.

In two later episodes she would also appear under different names, namely Nurse Baker and Nurse Able. 'M*A*S*H' was notorious for this musical chairs game with the names of its nurses.

Answer: Jack the Ripper

Despite Hawkeye's desperate plea, he seems to be unable to convince this general of the importance of his request. A new surgeon will be arriving, but 'not for days'.

Answer: True

Father Mulcahy seems rather able in the O.R., though we only really see him controlling the bleeding of a wounded soldier. Radar finally arrives in the O.R. rather late in the episode, and quite against his will. Oddly enough, Hawkeye has Mulcahy and Radar help rather than Nurse Kellye, who is assigned simply to put latex gloves on the surgical personnel.

Answer: False

Margaret insists that she is in charge of the unit, with Hawkeye in complete agreement. However, Hawkeye is in charge in the operating room, which is nothing new since he is already chief surgeon. Margaret shines as the C.O., and Hawkeye is impressed enough with her overall performance to call her a 'nurse, friend and overall good egg'.

Answer: Rear end

While Margaret takes her flu shot in the standard place, her arm, Hawkeye insists that he wants his flu shot in his 'tushy'. 'You're rally enjoying this, aren't you?' Margaret asks, to which Hawkeye quickly retorts, 'Aren't you?' Most amusingly, Radar walks in while Hawkeye is just about to get his shot, and his completely mortified. 'Excuse me, I'm sorry,' says Radar on his way out, prompting Hawkeye to laugh heartily.

Answer: Veterinarian

Apparently, the pickings aren't good when it comes to getting a replacement surgeon. It does seem that the 4077th never has a problem in the future with getting replacement surgeons, only when the plot of a particular episode necessitates it!

Answer: Frank's receptionist

It appears that Margaret is not the only woman that Frank has fooled around with. 'Goodbye, Nancy. You're the best receptionist I ever had,' he says to a dumbfounded Hot Lips. When Margaret protests, Frank follows this up with, 'Honestly Louise, we had to work late!' Frank is having a conversation with two women in one!

Answer: No

Margaret is a rock, she never gets sick. Perhaps the flu shot she took worked on her.

Answer: Yes

Hawkeye finally succumbs by the end of the episode, but not before delivering the following line to Margaret: 'You know all those rotten things I've said to you, all those nasty little tricks I've played on you? I'd like to get well and do them all over again.'
