Potter's chore-list in GFA - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

It was real, real long. His wife Mildred sent it to him. It was a list of chores for him to do when he got back to the states and home to her. I know most of the time Mash was a TV show and not real-life despite a few documentary-type eps with real footage. But the list struck me as way too unrealistic as it was so long. A shorter looking list (with not an interesting chore on it)would have been better. But remember the most important moment in GFA was when Klinger got on the phone and badly put down Syngman Rhee. Kim II Sung started the whole bloody Korean War and he not Rhee should have been condemned by the show's writers.

I think the reason the list was that long was to emphasize how long Sherman had been away from home!

No way, Marv. It was pure TV-like contrived writing. She almost could not possibly have thought of that many things for him to do once he got home. Remember the Rhee-Sung bit--it is more important than anything.!
