Did he call a Jeep a “mode”? (That’s what he referred to the “modes” of transportation in the last episode.) Some trivia: I saw a TV interview with G.W. Bailey (now a professor of drama in his native Texas when he’s not acting). Rizzo was supposed to be a Bronx born opportunist, but Bailey’s bungled attempt at a Bronx accent in the reading came out sounding more Cajun. The casting people loved it and changed the character accordingly (but not his name). ---

> [@Green Bean](#): > > Hawkeye. I’m not sure why, however. Was it that they thought the audience wouldn’t like a character who was married but slept around without remorse? Yep. They didn’t want to make a sympathetic adulterer. ---

Hawkeye confesses an irrational fear in one episode. What was he afraid of? 1. Peg and Erin. 2. “…eats worms.” 3. Nothing. 4. Okay, I knew the author (Richard Hooker) and that it was a pseudonym (though I couldn’t have told you his real name was H. Richard Horberger [1923-1997]) and I knew the names of three of the sequels, but I’ll admit I cheated and looked up the others in an author database. M_A_S\*H (a Story of Three Army Doctors), 1968 M_A_S\*H Goes to Maine (considered the best book in the series), 1971 M_A_S\*H Goes to Paris, 1974 M_A_S\*H Goes to London, 1975 M_A_S\*H Goes to New Orleans, 1975 M_A_S\*H Goes to Hollywood, 1976 M_A_S\*H Goes to Miami, 1976 M_A_S\*H Goes to Morocco, 1976 M_A_S\*H Goes to Vienna, 1976, M_A_S\*H Goes to Montreal, 1977 M_A_S\*H Goes to Moscow, 1977 M_A_S\*H Mania, 1977 Further trivia: The real M_A_S\*H unit in which Hooker/Hornberger was a physician was the 8055th. He started his first book while trying to get used to peacetime medical practice in the small town of Bremen, Maine. He based Hawkeye on himself but said that Alan Alda’s characterization had absolutely no similarities in looks, mannerisms, attitudes or anything else to his own. 1. Dead babies disguised as chickens? ---

BJ. He did leave Erin a list of names of the soldiers that BJ worked on, though. I want to say her name was Winnie, but I know that’s wrong. She was the klutz who was a jolly good fella and a virgin. T102a) Why did Hawkeye want to sit together with her? ---
