I appreciate your dedication to historical accuracy, but as one who enjoyed the series, Who Cares!

[@sexkev1001]

Exactly what I thought, the programme was produced as a comedy drama with occasional references to the awfulness of war. To those of us who enjoyed for that reason, no-one would have given a damn if it was by the book accurate. The main protagonists in the programme were mainly irreverant of strict protocol by design to relay a coping mechanism employed by the members of the 4077th.

[@Deadman3913]

If you wanna hear nitpicky, I noticed a near microscopic error in an episode I must have watched a hundred times. It was the one where BJ is in the swamp lamenting about receiving a medal he felt he didn’t deserve. In the background is a postcard on the wall featuring a 727 airliner. It’s a plane that didn’t exist until 1962. Like I said, nitpicky. But it’s fun finding little imperfections like that. Ultimately, it does nothing to alter my love of the show.

These discrepancies often happen due to different writers being brought in throughout a series. I never understood why actors didn't bring these to the attention of writers.

And in the case of him reciting a John Wayne line that hasn’t happened yet, it’s supported by Hawkeye not really knowing who Radar is impersonating but makes a joke instead, which in turn hides the fact that Radar is predicting the future.

[@dee_dee_place]

I found it interesting that none of the nurses ever got pregnant with all the hookups they had. Birth control pills weren't legal until 1960. Some of the wives' names were changed back & forth (Mildred & Lorraine). The horse Potter had kept changing. Look at its markings. How come Max had his own tent while the nurses slept 4 in a tent. They had a higher rank than him. Henry had 2 kids when he was drafted & his wife was pregnant with a 3rd kid, a boy. In his last episode, Henry only had 2 kids, a girl & a boy. Radar said his bear came from his brother who was a box-boy at the grocery store back home. In other episodes, he never talked about siblings. Neither did Hawkeye. Frank stole a Colt 45 revolver from a General in a later episode while in an earlier episode, he actually had his own Colt 45 revolver which he used for target practice. I can't remember for sure but, didn't BJ put up the San Franciso sign on the signpost (yet it is shown in earlier episodes). In the episode when the General sent a psychiatrist to the MASH, the last scene shows Hawkeye & Trapper standing by the door of the SWAMP & facing in the opposite direction from where the General was standing. The surgical team walking around in scrubs & gloves post-op, especially when they should have had blood all over them. Margaret always left the table while she was a scrub nurse & an emergency came up, causing the circulating nurse to take over for her at her table. The circulating nurse should have taken care of the emergency. Margaret cross-contaminated the fields by not changing her gloves. In one episode, you can clearly hear Margaret giving the same orders, in the OR, looped over & over again. When Iron Guts Kelly came to the OR, he was wearing his scrub backward. Radar did that also. I'm a retired RN, BSN & it really ticked me off that the Nurse's uniforms were so tight. I also noticed Margaret's nails immediately. She would have been thrown out of nursing school for wearing her nails that long. One of my classmates actually was, she was told twice to cut her nails. She refused & was kicked out of the program. She actually left nail marks on my wrist while taking my pulse. In one of the seasons, Margaret wore very garish makeup. I don't know whose idea that was but it was terribly distracting & wouldn't have been allowed in the nursing profession.

[@funnyfarm5555]

There is a scene in the OR where Hawkeye goes from one patient to another with bloody gloves and never puts on clean ones; ironic because when Winchester arrives Hulahan accuses him of touching his nose and he was sent to re-scrub. The plastic syringes used in filming mash are questionable; the first plastic syringe was made by an Australian in 1951 and the first disposable patent was issued in 1956. there was one scene where I saw a nurse using a glass syringe.We use a glass syringe on the farm during the 1950's and 60's. There is a scene where they are filming a scene inside of a tent but their camera also captured the sky above the top of the tent on the left side. Love the M*A*S*H series and we have the complete dvd set in the original binder; We watch them all the time from beginning to end,, pause for a couple weeks and then rewatch them again.

When a show runs this long, there will be a lot of story line changes due to various writers... It is best to look at each episode (unless meant to bleed into another) as stand alone episode and not a time line or continuation. Then the inaccuracies of continuity go away. As for historical accuracy's I agree some should be caught - those that are close (still in the 50s) I can let slide. this war though was so close after WWII those in the Army would still be true patriots I think.

Of coarse Colonel Potter had a proper hair cut, Henry Morgan was a no nonsense cop on Dragnet 1967. But it's all about the comedy not history.

There was a chocolate bar handed to a soldier with a bar code on the back.

Early in the transition with Col Potter, he mentions home being in Nebraska and his wife's name is different.

I suspect it's more of a multiverse issue than a time travel issue.

I saw a X-ray of a woman’s chest instead of man’s hanging during filming behind I believe Hawkeye.

Most pertinent question I have is this: Was the show entertaining? If people watching shows such as this are hell bent on finding flaws such as those depicted in this presentation, they should spend their evenings doing something other than critiquing TV shows or movies in order to find flaws in the presentation.

There was an episode wherein a tank was being concealed in a tent (I think it was a tent). When it pulled out of the tent near the end of the episode, it was a different model of tank. The alternate universe of MASH is a weird one.

Interesting, thanks for sharing this info. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?

[@masonbricke4568]

@@FactsVerse well, right off the bat, how about little known facts of history, or historical figures? Anything concerning the mysterious world of quantum physics would be good. Your film flubs and behind-the-scenes t.v. mistakes are also very entertaining. :)

I always thought the early episodes were the best. After Henry Blake, Trapper John, and Frank Burns were gone the show got too serious. I didn’t like how Margaret’s character became a tyrant. Alan Alda always seemed to try and emulate Groucho Marx with his constant wisecracks. Radar played a better role in the early episodes but later on became more of an inexperienced man child. Just my opinion…I still enjoyed the show.

I waited ten minutes for more pictures of Margaret in th full slip!

My recollection was the use of a camera which did not exist at that time!!!

With a TV show that lasted about 7 and a half years longer than the 'official' hostilities involving the UN Police Action more commanly yet a little incorrectly known as The Korean war, it was almost impossible to keep from making errors or 'bloopers'! Oh, and incidentally, the war has never been officially ended between the two Koreas. Just an armistice agreeing to end the hostile actions and declare the 38th parallel the neutral divide. A surrender was and has never been signed or agreed to by any side.

An iconic show smugly nitpicked by somebody who apparently has nothing important to do.

I loved MASH, my aunt served as an RN in a MASH unit in Korea. Wasn't like the TV show at all.
