Talk:M*A*S*H (TV series)

Caption

The "goodbye" caption says "infamous" when it should read "famous". This is elementary word usage, I am going to correct this part. --Derinrob99 18:54, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Laugh Track

Question - did they always have "canned" laughter from the first episode. (Aside from the surgery scenes of course!!) Answers to dunlop.sam@mtvne.com

• It's on the DVDs (so is the version without it). Because MASH was filmed like a movie they couldn't use a live audience, so the network insisted on a canned laugh track.

Image

I moved the Season 1 image over to the right, and placed it in a thumbnail. I did that because I thinks it looks better that way.

Also, I don't really remember Maj. Houlihan's "Hot Lips" nickname really getting that much use during the show, certainly not to the extent that it was used in the movie. Even in the first seasons it didn't really seem to me that it got that much use, and once Holihan's character evolved in the later seasons you almost never heard that. From what I remember, most times the doctors would call her Margaret.

Hot Lips

Margaret is called "Hotlips" a couple of times in the early seasons (72 - 74), I remember her angrily stamping her foot in the mess tent.

"most watched episode"

The link in Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen which states that it is still the most watched episode of all time pointed to a non-existent page at Reuters. I have replaced it with an article at the Washington Post which mentions it in passing. I'd welcome a slightly more on-topic link. MrItty 16:02, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

The famous "golf in a minefield" scene in the first episode.

I remember the first scene of the series: Trapper is playing golf in a minefield.

Synopsis

Adding "Synopsis" made it less confusing.
