Goofs:

Anachronisms: At the 4th of July celebration B.J. makes a remark to Klinger about "that new kid Mays [Willie Mays]", to which Klinger responds "He doesn't even know it's 'two hands'", referring to the amazing over-the-shoulder one hand catch Mays had become famous for. That catch occurred in the 1954 world series, and this episode is set in 1951.

Quotes:

Hawkeye: Margaret, wasn't this potholder supposed to be a scarf?
Margaret: It hasn't been a scarf in weeks. I'm knitting a sweater for a pilot I met in Tokyo.
Hawkeye: And I'm the mannequin who came to dinner.
