As we all know, when Dr. Freedman was introduced in "Radar's Report," he was called "Milton." It was in "Deal Me Out" he was first called Sidney and the name stuck for the rest of the series. As some of you know, I collect production scripts from the series, and I recently acquired the script for Radar's Report and was surprised by the page where Sidney was first introduced. His name was not Milton, but Robert! In the copy I purchased, Robert was marked out and Milton is written in pencil. I have included a picture below. Another interesting piece of M*A*S*H trivia!
Sidney's name changed twice!

Re: Sidney's name changed twice!
Great find, Eric. Any idea whose script it may have been?
Re: Sidney's name changed twice!
Unfortunately, I do not know who the script belonged to. Just part of the fun I guess!
