Radar's Report - S2-E3

Trivia: After Erika tells Hawkeye that the ring is her grandmother's and she's not married, when Hawkeye joins Erika on her cot the lights flicker on and off a few times. This flickering was real and totally unscripted, and was due to a power failure on the set, but because Alan Alda and Joan Van Ark didn't miss a beat and continued with their lines the scene wasn't reshot, and they just added the PA voiceover announcing that it's the generator again.

As You Were - S2-E20

Trivia: When Radar was on the phone saying he was an officer, he answered "Uh, well, I'm, uh, nineteen." I know it was for the show, but when this episode aired in 1974, Gary Burghoff was 31 years old at the time.
