Attention. Attention. The following personnel are assigned to the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital:
Line 50 ⟶ 51:
=== Lt. Col. Henry Braymore Blake ===
Played by McLean Stevenson. The [[Mildly Military]] commander of the 4077th for the first three seasons. Almost always seen with a fishing hat (with lures that made any salute attempt risk a Purple Heart), he was from Bloomington, Illinois. He tried his best to keep the camp running, although between Burns, Houlihan, Hawkeye, and Radar ... well,
* [[Actor
* [[Bus Crash]]
* [[Cigar Chomper]]
* [[Colonel Badass]]: Without a doubt, he is
* [[A Father to His Men]]: Especially Radar, who actually regresses slightly after Henry is gone.
* [[Genius Ditz]]: Is a competent doctor, but a chronically indecisive commanding officer.
* [[Killed Off for Real]]
Line 66 ⟶ 67:
* [[Retirony]]
* [[Team Dad]]
* [[That Came Out Wrong]]: Is apparently incapable of opening his mouth to an authority figure without either revealing too much information or dropping an [[Accidental Innuendo]].
=== Maj. Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan (at one point also Penobscott) ===
Line 191 ⟶ 192:
* [[The Other Darrin]]: Another actor portrayed him in the pilot episode, and the character was openly called "Dago Red" -- a nickname from the original book and film -- in that episode. When the blond Christopher was cast, the "Red" part of the name no longer applied, and the "Dago" was quietly dropped to avoid the wrath of Italian-American groups.
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: After belting a patient. Then again, said patient did justify the use of force, although medics usually don't go for a punch in the jaw.
* [[Soldiers
* [[There Are No Therapists]]: Averted thanks to him. Both he and Sidney Freedman (an actual therapist) admit that he's more the camp's sounding board and confidant than he is their actual spiritual leader. He's even able to notice when Sidney himself needs some
=== Capt. B. J. Hunnicutt ===
Line 232 ⟶ 233:
* [[Drink Order]]: Usually favors cognac.
* [[Hahvahd Yahd in My Cah]]
* [[In Vino Veritas]]:
* [[Insufferable Genius]]
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: One [[Christmas Episode]] is the shining example -- throughout the episode, everyone thinks of Winchester as a creep because when the 4077th hosted a group of Korean orphans with a potluck dinner, Winchester's contribution was a
* [[Not So Above It All]]: Just as capable of pranking as Hawkeye and B.J.. In his first appearance, he even turns the tables on them with a snake in the bed prank. He even would collude with pretty much the entire camp to help teach Hawkeye a lesson in one episode.
** He states that he enjoys [[Tom and Jerry]] cartoons
* [[Officer and a Gentleman]]: Sometimes the gentleman would cause the jerkass behaviour; sometimes it would be used to crack the jerkass shell.
* [[Pet the Dog]]: Frequently. Almost every few episodes.
* [[Smug Snake]]: Occasionally, whenever the writers wanted to emphasize his jerkass tendencies.
== Recurring characters ==
Line 246 ⟶ 247:
Originally introduced in [[The Movie]] as a ringer for an interunit football game. [[Put on a Bus]] when the writers were (incorrectly) informed that there weren't any black surgeons in the theatre.
* [[Put
=== Pvt. Igor Straminsky ===
