Here are hints on the unanswered ones from the OP:

When did Frank’s ancestors come to America?

No hints here.

What did Hawkeye call “Some real toe-tappers”?

Ah, Bach.

“I’m a marine. We’re the best.”

The actor who spoke this an actor, a narrator, and a director. I’m looking for Hawkeye’s response.

John Ritter played an upset soldier holding Frank (played by Larry Linville, of course) hostage. Sadly, both actors are now dead.

Ah, John Ritter. Ah, Bach.

What TV detective did BJ fall for?

What movie star gave his blanket to a gook?

What TV cop boasted “oak”?

What surgeon wanted to give Margaret a little love? American style?

What colonel said a hospital is a big building with patients?

Extra super bonus question:

What movie star wanted a hamburger? (I nearly crapped myself when I found this out.)

I dunno, but if he was in _Airplane!_, that’s not important right now.

Shirley you can’t be serious.

You answered a question from a post in which all of the MASH extras went on to bigger and better things.

Shelley Long and George Wendt both went on to star in Cheers. Two MASH extras had starred together in a _previous_ TV show. Who were they and what was the show? (Hint: Neither one was the show’s main star.)

I thought it was 1927, but you may be right.

Since that episode probably took place in 1951, and since Frank looked to be at least 35, then he would have been at least 11 when he came to America. :dubious:
