1. Loretta Swit
   Alan Alda
2. Wayne Rogers

By the end of the show, Alda was a household name. He was not only playing Hawkeye, who was the star of the show, but he was also writing and directing episodes.

1. Loretta Swit
   Bea Arthur
2. Carol Burnett

Maj. Margaret Houlihan stayed for the show's 11-year run as the woman in charge of the nurses. It was actually a very sexist show, representing both the 1950s and the 1970s.

1. stole from the other residents
   threatened to shoot up the place
2. dressed in women's clothing

Klinger dressed in women's clothing, hoping someone would think he was crazy and send him home.

1. He went back home to private practice.
   He was killed.
2. He was promoted and sent back to the States.

Henry's on his way home when his plane is shot down over the Sea of Japan. Radar tells everyone in the OR -- and they all keep operating, even as they're crying.

1. He could find anything that anybody lost.
   He could anticipate events.
2. He could heal sick animals.

While he was great with animals, his super power was knowing ahead of time what his commanding officers were going to say or ask him to do. He also knew just before helicopters of wounded were going to come in.

1. Dr. Sidney Freedman
   Maj. Charles Emerson Winchester
2. Col. Flagg

Boston blue-blood Winchester was smart and a great surgeon -- who didn't want to be in Korea. But that's where the similarities between him and his tent mates -- Hawkeye and BJ -- ended, making him an excellent foil for their antics.

1. undermining the commands of officers Blake and Potter
   stealing from the army
2. having an affair

Frank, a married man, had an affair with Margaret until she became engaged to another. Frank went more than a little nuts and was sent back to the states for psychiatric evaluation. He was promoted and put in charge of a VA hospital.

1. Cpl. Max Klinger
   Cpl. Walter O'Reilly
2. Capt. Jonathan Tuttle

Walter (better known as Radar) O'Reilly, played by Gary Burghoff, was the one who really ran the MASH unit. He left the show in Season 8.

1. Maj. Margaret Houlihan
   Maj. Frank Burns
2. Col. Sherman Potter

Frank Burns was acting CO at the beginning of season 3, but Potter took over and stayed for the rest of the run.

1. Cpl. Max Klinger
   Maj. Charles Winchester
2. Maj. Frank Burns

Hawkeye and Trapper's (and later BJ's) tent mate was everything the two of them weren't -- a stickler for rules, a bigoted snob and a terrible surgeon.

1. Capt. Jonathan Tuttle
   Capt. BJ Hunnicutt
2. Maj. Charles Winchester

Wayne Rogers' departure came following the third season. Mike Farrell, who played BJ through the rest of the run, came in as new tent mate, surgeon and friend to Hawkeye.

1. Maj. Frank Burns
   Lt. Col. Henry Blake
2. Col. Sherman Potter

Blake, played by McLean Stevenson, was the commanding officer in the first three seasons.

1. his mom
   his girlfriend
2. his dad

One of the more popular episodes, "Dear Dad," has Hawkeye writing to his dad about the yuletide season in an army camp -- hijinks and heart.

1. Weasel
   Rat Fink
2. Ferret Face

In a rare moment of drunkenness, Frank tells Hawkeye and Trapper the nickname his brother gave him. When BJ joins the show and meets Frank for the first time, it's clear he's been clued in when he says, "What say, Ferret Face?"

1. nothing
   Bobby Joe
2. Billy John

In one episode, Hawkeye searches for what the initials BJ stand for, but all the paperwork lists just BJ as his name. BJ says at the end of the episode that his parents names were Bea and Jay and that's where it came from.

1. "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen"
   "Who Knew?"
2. "Say No More"

The two-and-a-half-hour, show-ending movie aired Feb. 28, 1983, and wrapped up the war with a lot of laughs and more than a few tears, as everyone prepared to go their separate ways.

1. He went home to be with his sick mother.
   He was discharged.
2. He was killed by a sniper.

Trapper was discharged while Hawkeye was on leave. Hawkeye spent the episode trying to get back to the 4077th before Trapper is gone.

1. Trapper and Margaret
   Margaret and Klinger
2. Frank and Klinger

This wedding dress got around. Klinger wore it to marry his sweetheart back home via a phone ceremony. Margaret put it on when she got married in person. In the final episode, Klinger (by then divorced from his first wife) marries Soon-Lee Han, a Korean woman. She wears the wedding dress this time.

1. TRUE
2. FALSE

Comedies had to have laugh tracks back in the day, so the network wanted one and the producers didn't. The compromise they reached was a "chuckle track," not quite as invasive, that was never played in the OR. When the show was run in the U.K., the track was turned off.

1. a nurse
   an imaginary friend
2. a visiting dignitary

Tuttle was Hawkeye's childhood imaginary friend. When he wants to raise money and requisition supplies for a local orphanage, he resurrects Tuttle -- which stirs up the whole camp as people start claiming they've met the invisible man.

1. World Series game 7 in 1995
   Super Bowl XLIV
2. NCAA basketball championship in 2002

While the Super Bowl of 2010 passed the episode in total viewership, "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen" still stands as the most-watched television series finale.

1. 11 years
   7 years
2. 5 years

While the Korean War itself only lasted three years, the show lasted 11 seasons and 256 episodes.

1. Mobile Army Surgical Hospital
   Major Army Survival Hospital
2. Massive Army Surgical Hospital

Mobile was the key -- the hospital could move quickly as the war's front moved. In fact, "Bug Out," an episode from Season 5, features the camp moving, as the war comes closer. This MASH unit was the 4077th.

1. Father Mulcahy
   Max Klinger
2. Margaret Houlihan

After years of wearing dresses in an effort to get a Section 8 (insanity) discharge and go home, Klinger marries a Korean woman and stays behind to help her find her parents.

Klinger stepped in as company clerk after Gary Burghoff, who played Radar, left in Season 8.

1. comedy
   drama
2. dramedy

Though technically a comedy, one of the ways "MASH" broke TV ground was by delving into the bleaker aspects of war, always with one eye on the laugh meter. You could call it the first dramedy, although the term became popular only after "MASH" went off the air.

1. Wayne Rogers and Alan Alda
   Harry Morgan and Jamie Farr
2. Alan Alda and Jamie Farr

Alda (Hawkeye) and Farr (Klinger) both served in Korea, though after the cease-fire in 1953. The dog tags Klinger wore in the show were Farr's from his time in Korea.

1. Hawkeye, Trapper and Frank
   Hawkeye and BJ Hunnicutt
2. Hawkeye, Trapper, Frank and Spearchucker Jones

Jones, played by Timothy Brown, left the show in the first season because there was no evidence of African-American doctors having served in Korea.
