"M*A*S*H" Season 10, "Sons and Bowlers" Quiz

Answer: Softball

Although the 4077th lost by a score of 24 - 4, Colonel Potter credits Margaret with the loss because she "killed a rally." Much later in the episode, the Marines rub it in a little further when one of them says, "Houlihan? I thought she was still someplace between third and home!"

Answer: Bowling

Out of frustration, Colonel Potter suggests bowling as the next sport of choice... even though there are no bowling alleys in Korea at the time. He's forced to rely on Klinger's scrounging abilities and his own ingenuity to get the necessary supplies and make their own lane.

Answer: The Trenton Tornado

Although Marty "The Trenton Tornado" Ubanchic, who supposedly placed third in the U.S. Open Bowling Championships before being drafted, sounds believable enough, he was purely fabricated for this episode of "M*A*S*H."

Answer: Boilermakers

Appropriately and humorously so, Margaret replies, "Colonel, they may have a pro... but you don't!"

Answer: Dollface

Although 'Dollface' is a period-correct petname from 1950's Americana, most fans of the "M*A*S*H" series know Maraget by her common nickname, 'Hot Lips.' However, few realize that the 'Hot Lips' nickname originated from an infamous scene in "M*A*S*H, The Movie" in which Margaret is played by Sally Kellerman. During an intimate encounter with Frank Burns, Margaret is unaware that the public address microphone has been planted underneath their cot, broadcasting details of their rendezvous throughout the camp. Everyone overhears her saying to Frank, "kiss my hot lips."

Answer: French toast and sausages

This conversation illustrates Hawkeye's ultimate point that, to some degree, he dislikes the fact that his dad has a tendency to keep important details from him because he doesn't want him to worry.

Answer: Methylene Blue

Methylene blue has a number of past and current medicinal uses such as assisting in the identification of pre-cancerous lesions, acting as an antidote to potassium cyanide poisoning, assisting in the treatment of carbon monoxide poisoning and being part of a treatment regimen for malaria.

Ironically, it disappeared as an anti-malarial agent during wars in Asia, such as the Korean conflict on which "M*A*S*H" is based, due to personnel disliking two inevitable, fully reversible side effects: blue sclera and turning urine... green.

Answer: Vince

The part of Marine Colonel Vincent Potts was played by Dick O'Neill. Dick was no stranger to the "M*A*S*H" series. He also played Navy Admiral Cox in the 1977 episode entitled "38 Across" as well as Army General Marian Prescott in the 1979 episode entitled "BJ Papa San."

Answer: False

Although as Hawkeye and Charles discuss, the surgery is a very delicate procedure, Hawkeye's dad comes through just fine. And Hawkeye's taking the telephone call to learn this forces him to pull out of the bowling tournament only to be replaced by... Margaret.

Answer: "...and their sons."

A touching way to end the toast, this scene ends one of the first and only episodes in which Charles bonds with Hawkeye... or any other character.

Other first and onlys for this 1982 episode include the first and only "M*A*S*H" appearances by experienced bit-players Roger Hampton (playing the part of 'Second Marine') and William Lucking (playing the part of 'Marty Ubanchic').
