In the books that I used for the plot synopsis, they tended to focus on one storyline. There are various storylines that I can remember, but I can't recall what episode they were in. If anyone else has this problem, here's where to put it. If anyone can help, please either put it here or in the appropriate episode board. Thanks!
Which episode had Col. Potter taking a remedial driving test, after he planned to "pencil whip" his driving violation ticket?
Which had Klinger and his invisible camel?
Which one had B.J. confined to the Swamp with some problem, and all the efforts he made to prevent Charles from playing his records? (Margaret and just gotten a record player, but no records.)
Which episode had Charles and Margaret sharing a tainted hamper of food, and Klinger getting a bunch of Paco's Hungarian Hot Dogs?
Which one had Klinger making a mustache for a Puerto Rican soldier whose own mustache had been removed?
Col. Potter taking driving (or VEE-hickle) lessons from Rizzo is in "Wheelers and Dealers."
Margaret and Charles getting sick from tainted pheasant is in "The Grim Reaper"
Wasn't it vee-HICK-le?
ScottN--you're probably right. It's been a while since I've seen the ep and I never was that good at Rizzoisms.
Klinger and his invisible camel, Habibi, are in "Last Laugh," but possibly other episodes as well.
Which episode was the Potter/BJ/Margaret/Charles bridge game in? Father Mulcahy bet against the "sure thing" Charles because he was sure that Charles' ego would do him in (which it did!).
The bridge tournament is in "The Best of Enemies." And Mulcahy bet against both Charles and Potter because of their egos...which reminds me: Did the Padre EVER lose a bet?
I don't think so. I seem to recall Hawkeye asking him if he was using "pull" with The Man Upstairs.
(Not specifically in those terms, of course.)
I had to ask around for the last two answers, but I finally got them.
BJ confined to the Swamp and trying to quiet the record players is in "Friends and Enemies," season 11
Klinger making a new mustache for the soldier is in "Post-Op," season 5
Fr. Mulcahy did lose in the episode where Charles was winning from everyone at poker. That is, until it is discovered in reveiwing the games that Chuckes whistles louder when he has a winning hand.
Which one is it where Trapper is training for a boxing match? Margaret watches him out in the yard punching a large duffel bag full of clothes. Margaret asks "Isn't that Frank's bag?" and Trapper replies "I thought you were Frank's bag!" One of the rudest (and funniest) M*A*S*H lines.
That's "Requiem for a Lightweight." Anyone know what episode the dog (Corporal Cupcake) was in?
Which episode had Klinger speaking several lines in Arabic...the phrase I remember from the subtitle was "Grandmother give me your cheese from the window" which I think he actually said right! I'm pretty sure it was one of the "letter writing" episodes, but which?
I'm not certain, but I think that it might have been in the episode with the spirit post. Klinger had been replacing light bulbs and Frank chewed him out as only Frank can do. Klinger snapped off something, then said that it was a curse, to start the day that he got home to his wife.
There was another episode where Margaret ordered him to do something and Klinger started muttering in Arabic, then Margaret more or less told him to shut up.
Exactly what language does Klinger speak? First it's Lebanese, then Arabic. Being ignorant of such matters, I suppose Lebanese could be a form of Arabic.
I believe it's Arabic. There may be a Lebanese dialect... (Just get someone from Maine and someone from the deep South in the same room and tell me they're speaking the same language...)
Also, what episode was it where Charles was upset because he thought his sister was "marrying beneath herself"?
That one's "Bottle Fatigue" from season eight. It's one of my favorite Charles episodes, with first his bigoted rantings and then his touching apology.
Which episode briefly featured an Ethiopian? I remember BBC2 showing this as part of a Docs On The Box Theme night. What other nationalities of UN soldiers do we get to see during the series?
I know we had Greeks and Turks (the Spam Lamb episode). And we had Brits (the one with the spit&polish colonel that Hawkeye hates).
Which episode was it where Hawkeye was frantically trying to find out what the "B" and the "J" stood for?
"Lil"
Other nations seen:
Swedish Doctor Inga who Hawkeye falls for
Several episodes with the British
Greeks and Turks
Ethiopian
I think there was a French person somewhere
There were also mention of a couple other nations that made some odd contributions to the war effort
Never forget Luxemborg.
Lilith, what was that country again? I forgot :-)
Which episode had the sub-plot of a young soldier being harrassed because his colleagues had found that he was still a virgin? He decided to prove his manhood by volunteering for the extremely hazardous bomb-disposal squad. The episode had Potter showing the boy how to tie a few fishing flies.
Funny coincidence that the very episode should be shown this evening. It was "Promotion Commotion."
And Canadian, eh?
What episode was it where Potter put Margaret in her place. She had come into his office to demand something and he refused and she threatened to go the general shew was friends with. And Potter did not cave like Blake always did.
I'd need a little more details. Like do you remember what it was Margaret wanted? If I knew that, I might be able to help.
"Finest kind."
Not sure, but it sounds like a fairly early Potter episode, the point of that scene being to show that old tricks weren't going to work anymore.
Yeah, I'm sure it's a fourth season ep. But which one, I'm not sure.
It sounds like the one where Margaret wanted to get rid of a nurse on her staff she felt was too emotional. Potter refused. I don't know the title offhand.
If that's the case, then we're talking about a sixth seasons ep: "Images".
"Finest kind."
I wish I knew details.
Yeah, I do, too. It would help to identify the episode.
Andrew Duggan was Hotlip's dad, Potter defended the two doctors after they made peace with
him?
Which episode Radar played someone else?
You mean where Gary Burghoff played Radar's mother? That was in the ep, "Mail Call Again."
Maybe, but I think he played a soldier?
its been yarhens...
don't know for sure...
"Played a soldier"? Radar was part of the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital. Gary Burghoff was always playing a soldier. I don't think he ever played a civilian on the series beyond Mother O'Reilly. Which is the only other role Burghoff played on M*A*S*H.
no, Gary Burghoff wasnt credited, I think, he played another fella, other than Radar. (yes know my Mashes. , as well as my Treks...)and yes I know that episode too...Mail call Again.
------------------
Potter: horsehockey!(or Bs).
------------------
He also played Walter, a big bomb, and I wish I saw it.
Of course he played "Walter". That was Radar's first name. What you mean is that he starred in a pilot called W*A*L*T*E*R, which didn't do well. And in the 181 episodes of M*A*S*H he appeared in, "Mother O'Reilly" is the only uncredited role Gary Burghoff played in the series. All other times, he was Corporal Walter Eugene "Radar" O'Reilly.
