I used to have a section here at my site about M*A*S*H bloopers. There were quite a few of them, mostly about continuity issues (such as Hawkeye mentioning a sister in one episode when otherwise he was an only child) with the occasional production error thrown in for good measure. I got rid of that section because there are plenty of other websites that track bloopers although I did keep this section on anachronisms.

I’ve also recently discussed several examples of scenes from M*A*S*H in which characters were supposed to be naked but the actors themselves weren’t. I find this sort of thing more interesting than, say, the fact that Henry’s wife was referred to as both Mildred and Lorraine. In my mind, anachronisms and other mistakes made during the production of M*A*S*H are goofs. Continuity errors within the series are bloopers. The terms don’t mean much and are nearly synonymous but they’re what I’ll be using going forward.

Every so often I’ll be pointing out specific goofs and I hope other M*A*S*H fans contribute goofs of their own.
