Line 305:
* [[The Klutz]]: Private Paul 'Look out below' Conway.
* [[The Lancer]]: Trapper, and later BJ, were basically this for Hawkeye.
* [[Last Rites (trope)|Last Rites]]: Father Mulcahy is frequently seen administering the last rites to dying and dead soldiers. We rarely get to see him do more than begin the process, though, but it's clear that it's the Anointing that he's performing, not the Viaticum -- if only because he's usually performing it on an unconscious soldier.
* [[Laugh Track]]: Employed over the objections of the producers and at the [[Executive Meddling|insistence of the network]], though averted in the O.R. scenes (and averted entirely for certain episodes). Also not used in foreign syndication. The DVD allows the viewer the option of having the laugh track turned off if they so choose.
* [[Limited Advancement Opportunities]]: Only Klinger and Father Mulcahy get promoted (though Burns makes Lieutenant Colonel after his departure). Radar also received a [[Status Quo Is God|temporary]] promotion.
