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

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!

Answer: Shirley

Strangely, Radar's imaginary friend was female (is that strange?) and according to Radar 'looked just like me, only with tiny little breasts'. I'm surprised they got that line by the network censors!

Answer: Jonathan S. Tuttle

You can hear the full name being enunciated over the intercom system pretty early on in the show. According to Frank, however, Tuttle goes by Johnny to his 'close friends'.

Answer: Druid, Reformed

Some of his other stats? Hawkeye: 'Mother?' Trapper: 'Yes.' Hawkeye: 'Father?' Trapper: 'One!' Their names...Harry and Frieda. Tuttle was born in 1924, a good year, in Battle Creek, Michigan. He got his medical degree at Berlin Polytechnic (or, as Hawkeye and later Margaret so eloquently put it, Berlinisches Politeknikum)...prompting Frank to accuse Tuttle (one of his best pals!) of being a Nazi.

Answer: hazel and auburn

His full physical stats, according to Hawkeye, 'Height - 6' 4', weight - 195 pounds, hair - auburn, eyes - hazel.' 'Hawkeye' Trapper gently responds, 'I think I'm in love.' Later on...Margaret also falls in love, just as she's supposed to!

Answer: Sparky

He's mentioned as Sparky often enough, but calls himself Sergeant Pryor when corresponding with Margaret. Strangely, this is the one and only appearance of the oft-mentioned Sparky, played by Dennis Simple.

Answer: Sister Theresa

Sister Theresa's orphanage first receives various supplies from the most beneficent Tuttle. Later, he shows his magnanimity by donating 14 months back pay and all of his future pay (he's independently wealthy) to the orphange. Finally, after his unfortunate death, Sister Theresa's orphanage is named Tuttle's sole beneficiary for his GI insurance.

Answer: Frank

Frank says this to Margaret as they wait at attention during Tuttle's award ceremony. Perhaps an even better line comes a bit later when Henry asks Hawkeye to deliver a eulogy for Tuttle. Henry claims that Hawkeye knew Tuttle best, drawing Frank's ire and this comment to Margaret 'that's not true, I knew him best!'

Answer: Falls from a helicopter

Tuttle made a chopper flight to help treat some wounded, but as Hawkeye puts it, 'He jumped with his plasma, his bag, everything an army doctor needs, except his parachute.' All that was left of Tuttle? His dog tags...

Answer: Hawkeye

This is from his speech at the end of the show. Also from the speech, 'We salute you Captain Tuttle, humanitarian and healer. Good luck doctor, in that great big waiting room in the sky!' Henry is so inspired following this speech he states, 'He was the best damned OD (officer of the day) we ever had.' Lots of silly lines from that episode....hope you enjoyed the quiz!
