In case anyone was wondering, I don't know all of the answers to my questions off the top of my head. I reference Wikipedia and imdb frequently for answers and details before writing the questions. I write all of my own questions; none are copy/pasted from someone else' work on a webpage or lifted directly from a book. Quite a few questions were copy/ pasted from a TV Trivia thread somewhere else, but they were all questions for which I was the author. I do as well as anyone in answering unassuming's questions. I had poor recollection or didn't watch several of his recent individual tv show trivia threads, but I did contribute questions and answers in the threads for the shows with which I am familiar. I never do any research to find the answer to any of unassuming's questions, with one exception: I used YouTube to get the precise wording for the placement of chairs on The Friendly Giant in #715. TFG said exactly the same thing on every episode, which is important for a preschool target market with limited long term memory capacity. I knew the order of chairs. I don't consider that to be cheating, as I had already decided what my answer would be. That extra time could have cost me the green, if someone faster had posted only the facts, more quickly.

Major General Bartford Hamilton Steele
If I recall correctly, Morgan's appearence was meant to be a compatibility test with the rest of the cast, since McLean Stevenson would be leaving the series at the end of that season.

Correct!

This scene is hilarious, but would never be done in a TV show today. Apparently, the laugh track is optional for M*A*S*H episodes on DVD and BluRay. I will specifically not watch a modern sitcom with a laughtrack. CBS has always been the worst offender.
