Welcome to Korea (60 mins.)

Mistake Continuity: When Radar and Burns leave the tent for morning parade, Radar's clipboard acquires a pencil.

Mistake Continuity: During the shelling on the road, BJ gets very muddy. When they get to the bar, he is much cleaner - e.g. all the mud has disappeared from his right arm.

The Kids

Mistake Continuity: When Hawkeye is examining the orphan who is wiggling his tongue, there are two camera angles: one of Hawkeye from the front and one of the orphan over Hawkeye's shoulder. In the first shot, the tongue depresser that Hawkeye is holding is horizontal, in the other it is vertical. This flips back and forth a couple of times.

Mistake Continuity: When Margaret pins on Frank's purple heart, his scrubs are very damp with sweat. When he enters the swamp, they're practically dry.

Of Moose and Men

Mistake Continuity: After Hawkeye and Burns drive through the puddle, the mud on the colonel's face is different in the long and closeup shots.

Mail Call, Again

Mistake Factual error: After Radar asks Klinger when his home movies will be ready, Max answers, "Ready whenever you are, C.B." This is the specific punch line to a joke that relates to the actual filming of Cecil B. DeMille's movie The Ten Commandments, which wouldn't be released until 1956. It doesn't reference DeMille's other films.

Der Tag

Mistake Continuity: Along with Radar holding an anachronistic comic book (the Avengers), the exact issue changes between wide and close shots. One has the older Avengers logo used in the '60s and very early '70s, while the second issue Radar is holding has the newer Avengers logo that just gained currency as the episode was being filmed.

Mistake Factual error: Radar is seen sleeping holding an Avengers comic which was not published until several years after the Korean war ended.

Mistake Revealing: In several supposedly outdoors scenes in the camp, in particular, when Frank is welcoming Margaret back, there's a very obvious indoorsy echo.

Mistake Continuity: Early in the episode it is stated that Margaret's tent door is padlocked while she is in Tokyo. But when she gets back, she just walks straight in.

The Novocaine Mutiny

Mistake Factual error: Amongst Radar's comics are several not published until after the end of the Korean War, including issues of The Avengers and Spider Man.

Smilin' Jack

Mistake Continuity: When Jack delivers the patient to the MASH and when he is taking photos of the operation, there is no wound on his right hand. It only appears when Col.Potter says that he treated it "months ago".
