Trivia:
Col. Potter's Horse Sophie is played by several different horses in several different episodes. In many cases Sophie, a mare, is in fact played by a male horse. more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: Two sets of the camp were built, one in the outdoors, and one within a studio. This is apparent in numerous episodes when the characters are standing "outside" in broad daylight, but each cast member has numerous shadows as a result of studio lights shining in different directions, as well as an echo within the studio that is not audible on the outdoor set. more
Quotes:
Margaret: [about Henry Blake] You're nothing but a spineless, mealy-mouthed, fly-fishing imposter!
Hawkeye: He's not an imposter. He happens to be a genuine spineless, mealy-mouthed, fly-fisher.

The greatest war sitcom, 27 July 2000
Author: watzdabigdeal from Nashville, TN

"M*A*S*H" was the most successful TV show inspired by a movie. It ran for eleven years and viewers were still watching the sitcom when it was about to leave the air in 1983. I enjoyed the last episode just like every other viewer who saw it. The movie may have been a hit, but the series is unforgettable.
