Just a few off the wall things that may have been mentioned before, if so I apologize for not seeing them but mannnnny pages to go through to try and find. Anywho heres a few things:

Did anyone notice that:

Henry originally called his wife Mildred, then it was changed to Lorraine.

In one episode Hawkeye (while writing his dad) says "with you in Vermont", and then "kiss mom and sis". Supposed to be in Maine and his mom was to have died when he was little.

Col. Potter at first is from Nebraska.

Theres more of course but thats what I recall off the top of my gray matter. So there ya go, a few items that really dont mean anything hahah but what I had noticed.:crazy:

These are the kind of continuity errors that happen when different episodes are written by different writers. And over the course of 11 seasons on the air M*A*S*H had a lot of different writers.
