9/13. Not good. MASH the best show ever on TV.
I also did this quiz on the Catchy comedy website. Can’t wait to watch Mash on there too! More Mash is always best!
13 out 13!! Woo hoo!!
I know that Jamie Farr and Danny Thomas was both Lebanese.
12/13, missed #10
11/13 I am a couch potato especially when MASH comes on.
To all my MeTV friends I must say goodbye. Due to a hefty rent increase starting January 1st I will not be able to continue. So for now I say so long and it's been fun.
Hi Snickers, I'm so sorry to hear that. It has been fun posting comments and scores with you. I'll miss posting with you. I hope you join back in very soon. May you have a Happy and Healthy New Year. God Bless. Jackie
Been fun for me as well and for now will miss doing quizzes and commenting with friends, but just not able to afford the luxury of it. Hopefully will come back some day and in the mean time hope you have a Happy New Year and stay safe.
Snickers! Sorry you can't continue. I'll miss you, especially with the ST quizzes. 😕 Take care and hopefully you can come back someday.
Yup, going to miss everyone too and finishing the ST quizzes but the numbers just are not there right now. Maybe I can pick up a part time job somewhere in the future and the money will be there, But for now wishing everyone a safe and Happy New Year and god bless.
Same to you! 🖖🙂
Oh no, I will miss your comments. I am sure many others feel the same
Thanks, I'll miss commenting with my friends I made on this website but maybe someday I will be back.
Jamie Farr and Danny Thomas both Lebanese guys from the Toledo, Ohio area.
11 of 13.
10/13. All guesses. Alan Alda needs a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
8/13
10/13 - okee dokee:)
Love the show but don't watch it anymore

Does METV really need 2 hours of MASH every weekday? It seems like there is room to add another show and return MASH to 1 hour. The only change coming up in January is replacing Green Acres with Gomer Pyle.
My affiliate plays local news replay for the second episode.
I agree, to much MASH, they could drop one episode a week and put Green Acres back in the time slot. 22 episodes of MASH every week why we get one episode of Batman is just silly.
Beats the hell out of 3 hours of Saved By The Bell every Sunday.
Doesn't rate a 30 minute spot in my book.

7/13 One of METV's harder quizzes. By now I'm sure I have seen every MASH episode. I don't really follow either actor.
7/13 Not bad considering I know nothing about either actor
"You got 11 out of 13.
Cheers to you! How should we celebrate? Want to play some cards and wear Klinger's hats?"
MeTV Crew,
You guys have got to start checking your work. Or do candy bars make endorsements:
"One of these stars was endorsed by the Mars candy bar in the early '80s."
