The only piece of trivia I really know about MASH was that Hawkeye was married in the book, but Standards and Practices made them make him single on the tv show so he could fool around with nurses without being an adulterer.

In terms of minor characters who don't get as much love as they should, I've always had a soft spot for Nurse Kellye.

Why just him? Trapper, Henry, and Frank screwed around.

Figures, the one piece of trivia I knew about the show would be wrong. I had thought I had a source for it, but can't find it now.

The novel is a pro-Vietnam pile of trash. The movie turned it into an episodic subversive anti-war film and it's a landmark of New Hollywood. And yeah, Elliott Gould.

I don't know if that's fair about the book. It's not overly political and is fairly inoffensive. And the movie is basically a bunch of scenes from the book....Hawkeye getting Burns to punch him to get Burns thrown out of the unit, operating on the baby and having to blackmail the hospital colonel, the football game where they bring in a ringer.
