Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which of these very un-Radarlike behaviors is the first sign for Trapper and Hawkeye that all is not well for their young pal Radar?

Answer: He leaves a tray of uneaten food

As all M*A*S*H fans know, in the early episodes of the show Radar is a glutton, so leaving an unfinished tray of chicken legs is a certain sign that something is amiss. An equally bad sign would have been Radar's taking a shower, an activity he seemed averse to during his stay at the 4077th. Of course Radar would never neglect his office duties or his teddy bear, but Colonel Blake does recollect some odd behavior from Radar as well.

Answer: A complete physical

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!

Answer: Vinyl record

The message has been recorded in the 'glass booth of Holtzmann's Department Store' according to his girlfriend. Fascinating, I did not know that one could cut a record so easily at that time until I rewatched this episode a few years back. Now all we have are dumb CDs and cassette tapes!

4. What is Radar's erstwhile girlfriend's name?

Answer: Linda Sue

A wholesome, all-American girl, or so you would think, this is the first and only mention of her. Not only is she Radar's girlfriend, but we find out that they are engaged! Unfortunately for poor Radar, he discovers that Linda Sue has decided to marry his buddy Elroy Fimple.

It's amazing how much Elroy's voice sounds like the actor who later portrays Radar's pal Sparky in another of the first year episodes!

Answer: Anderson

Lieutenant Louise Anderson, lover of Vivaldi and reader of Plato. This young woman is obviously way out of Radar's league intellectually, but this does not stop Hawkeye from playing the matchmaker (though it seems he has designs of his own as well!) I love the line from Hawkeye, 'Radar you got a problem. This Lieutenant Anderson has a brain!' Poor Radar, by implication, does not.

Answer: That's highly significant.

Hawkeye also instructs Radar to look bored at times, in a very snooty sort of way. Trapper's opinion about Radar's 'thoughtful' look? 'He said look thoughtful, not sick!' When Radar displays his 'bored' look Trapper responds, 'That's your bored look? (Yeah!) Go back to looking sick!'

Answer: Bach

Need I say more here then....Ahhh, Bach? Actually...I do. I love Louise Anderson's response to this expression. She responds, 'What does that mean? Ahhh, Bach?' To which Radar replies, 'Uh, just that...Ahhh, Bach!'

8. Also during the mess tent conversation, Radar explains to us why the Roman Empire fell. According to our intellectual friend, what was the source of the decline and fall of Rome?

Answer: Internal strife

Radar attempts to impress Louise with this tidbit of knowledge after she uses the cliche, 'when in Rome...'. Talk about your non-sequitors! By the way, the source of Radar's newfound wisdom? The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Edward Gibbon, of which he has only read the first line.

Answer: They put chloroform in Frank's cologne bottle

Poor Frank is no match for Trapper and Hawkeye, but was he ever? They also show up in Margaret's bed after having Radar misdirect Hot Lips into post-op.

10. True or false: At the end of the episode Radar is mesmerized by Louise's discussion of Bach.

Answer: False

Are you kidding? Radar probably has no idea what she's saying, and certainly wouldn't here...he sleeps leaning on his hand while she chats away about her favorite composer, only awakened by Hawkeye with one more 'Ahhh, Bach!' Thanks for having fun with me here, I hope that you were able to enjoy this quiz as much as I enjoyed making it!
