MASH/Winchester Trivia (no Googling):

1) When Dr. Winchester first arrives, he performs surgery on a surgeon who had a difficult issue - an operation Hawkeye had never performed. What was the operation? Bonus: name of the surgeon. 

2) What was the Winchester family Christmas tradition? 

3) Colonel Potter is the last surviving member of his WWI outfit. He and his friends composed something- Winchester knew what it was. What was it? 

4) What does Winchester leave in a time capsule? 

5) What instrument does Winchester play in the Swamp that makes his tent-mates go crazy, and what do they do in response? 

6) In the last show, what vehicle does Winchester leave the 4077 in?

7) What is Winchester's sister's name? Spelling counts. 


BONUS: Name and rank of the person in Seoul, Korea who is angry at Winchester when Potter first calls for a replacement surgeon for Burns. And why is he angry?

  4. Burns. Not so much because of the character, but because they represent a shift in the show form the light, slap stick early years, to the darker and more serious later years. I am sure that the later seasons resonated strongly as they were being released in a Vietnam era America. But, when I was growing up in the 80s and 90s watching the re-runs, I didn't have much use for all the social commentary and just wanted an easy laugh (frankly, that still applies now).

  8. Blake is one of the best in every area he has sat in. I’m not sure Blake wrote orders as detailed as Hanzman, but you can’t go wrong with either one. Blake is also a great mediator by the way.
