Hot Lips and Empty Arms - S2-E14
Trivia: In the O.R., as Hot Lips is on a rant, a shot of a bottle of blood is smashing on the floor. This is a re-used shot from Season 2, Episode 3, "Radar's Report"
Trivia: When Frank demands the Greek soldier's name and serial number, he gives Frank the number in Greek numerals. It translates to 2688125. (00:10:15)
Trivia: Toward the end, as you hear clips from the characters, they show a chopper landing at an Aid Station. If you look closely, you can see the shot is re-used from the opening of the earlier episode "Smilin' Jack".

Trivia: Andrew Duggan plays Loretta Swit's father in this episode. In real life, Duggan was only fourteen years older than Swit.
Trivia: Three bits of trivia. (1) The game was total fiction, with a final score of Navy 42, Army 36. No Army-Navy game has ended with that score. (2) The radio announcer says it is the 53rd Army-Navy game. The 53rd game was played in 1952, with Navy winning 7-0. (3) Though not named in the credits, host Tom Kennedy was the voice of the radio commentator, a fact he confirmed in an interview in 2003.
Trivia: When Potter orders Hawkeye to fire his gun, Hawkeye fires only five shots, not seven like he rightfully should firing a Colt M1911 service pistol. It looks like after the fifth shot his gun malfunctioned and wouldn't fire, he even pulls the trigger two more times. Being a good actor, Alda doesn't ruin the take but keeps on acting. Later they forgot to change the dialogue though: Hawkeye says to Potter "You fired as many shots as I did" when in fact Potter fired seven and Hawkeye only five. (00:22:00)
Trivia: Radar and Franks Burns in real life were just the opposite of the characters they played on the show.
Suggested correction: "Just the opposite"? In what sense? According to whom? Very vague.
What he meant was Larry Linville (Frank Burns), despite playing a nasty, dumb character onscreen, was in fact incredibly sweet and intelligent and loved by the cast. Gary Burghoff (Radar), on the other hand, despite playing a sweet, likeable character, was in fact rude, arrogant and combative with cast members. He apparently didn't enjoy doing the show and wanted out when possible. No one missed him.
