A continuity error occurs when a reference is made in a show which is later contradicted by another reference later in the same show or in a later episode of the same series. For a series like M*A*S*H, stretching over 11 Seasons and with multiple writers, continuity errors are understandable and as Ken Levine (one of the series writers) says, there was no series bible. Nonetheless tracking continuity errors is still a fun activity for many fans. However let's not count the following as continuity errors:

  • A continuity error occurs when a reference is made in a show which is later contradicted by another reference later in the same show or in a later episode of the same series. For a series like M*A*S*H, stretching over 11 Seasons and with multiple writers, continuity errors are understandable and as Ken Levine (one of the series writers) says, there was no series bible. Nonetheless tracking continuity errors is still a fun activity for many fans. This article aims to be a comprehensive compilation of continuity errors in M*A*S*H. For completeness, simple errors are also included--these are references in the episodes which are contradicted by historical fact. However let's not count the following as continuity errors: * Where one actor plays two or more characters in different episodes e.g. Harry Morgan, Stuart Margolin and Bobbie Mitchell (who probably holds the record here). That's just show business. * Where the same character is played by different actors e.g. Rosie. Again that's show business and the reality of casting. * Where it is clear that the reference or plotline is fictitious. So no such book as The Rooster Crowed at Midnight exists. In the same way there was no real Hawkeye Pierce and no real 4077th MASH in Korea. And maybe no MASH unit in Korea ever held their camp Olympic games. These are not errors, M*A*S*H is fiction and not a documentary!
