Good-Bye Radar: Part 2 - S8-E5
Other mistake: As the camera cuts to Hawkeye and Margaret working, the man behind her is holding a chest X-ray, but it's upside down, which would be useless as a guide.

M*A*S*H (1972)
Cementing Relationships - S9-E3
Other mistake: When the mistake in the cement is discovered, Klinger is addressing Pierce, saying "Mr. Putty Putty, here." Problem is, that it was Mulcahy singing, "Cement mixer, putty putty.

Good-Bye Radar: Part 2 - S8-E5
Other mistake: When Potter enters the Swamp, his rank insignia is placed wrongly, with the feet of the eagle pointing to the front of the collar. The feet should point toward the shoulder side of the collar, as they are the next time we see Potter.

M*A*S*H (1972)
Other mistake: In all the opening sequence of each episode, a group of people are waiting on the pad to get the wounded off the choppers. If you look closely as the group goes to move, the character Mulcahy is there, but it's George Morgan, who played the role in the pilot episode. From the third episode on, it was played by William Christopher, so it's the wrong actor for all the other episodes.

M*A*S*H (1972)
Other mistake: When the Colonel Griswald of the 1st Cavalry goes to leave camp, the Jeep he gets in is marked "4077 MASH" on the bumper instead of 1st Cav.

M*A*S*H (1972)
Other mistake: After pulling out of the camp to head for the cave, The Bus is shown from several angles. Even though it's loaded, the shots of it travelling are re-used shots from an earlier episode, and the place it stops is a re-used shot from the episode "Rainbow Bridge"

M*A*S*H (1972)
Other mistake: In this episode Max is wearing a red bandanna that he says "My mom gave me this when I shipped out. She said never take it off." However, in no episode before or after this does this good luck charm appear.
23rd Mar 2017
M*A*S*H (1972)
Other mistake: Hawkeye loosened the nut and locking ring, but after lifting the assembly, it was obvious that these were steps used only to heighten tension. There was no locking device of any kind between the tail and body of the bomb.
23rd Mar 2017
M*A*S*H (1972)
Other mistake: After Klinger gives the long johns to Mulcahy, he "disappears." But if you look closely through the camo net, you can see him in the shadows of the background.

The Sniper - S2-E10
Other mistake: When Hawkeye and Trapper make Frank up to look like MacArthur, as they put the pipe in the "sleeping" Frank's mouth, he opens a bit wider, and bites down on the stem, then says his last line of the episode.

13th Aug 2015
M*A*S*H (1972)
