I got a kick out of this. I've been watching early MASH episodes and started noticing McLean Stevenson wearing what appears to be a Submariner.

Nice catch, Sub wasn't made yet.

R Douglas · 14 February 2015, 01:15 AM

Jeez ... I have watched MASH for years and never noticed.

Vincent65 · 14 February 2015, 01:27 AM

Very true - at the time of the Korean War... but when the series was filmed, Subs certainly were available...

I started watching that show in the 90's because of late night re-runs and loved it. Afterwards I discovered the movie and liked it even more.

Nice catch by the way!

Thatguy · 14 February 2015, 01:58 AM

Great show!

Now you have to get the novel that started it all. It's a good read.

x2 on the great movie part...one of my faves.

HogwldFLTR · 14 February 2015, 04:05 AM

Novel, movie, and series were all excellent anti-war fodder, great thought provoking media. They came in that order as well.

T01 · 14 February 2015, 04:42 AM

Noticed that the other day as well!

They where indeed. Serie is from the 70's (if i'm right). First Sub was introduced in the 50's

very neat!

Suboc · 14 February 2015, 09:17 AM

Yea I'm enjoying watching the show, it's been years since I last watched it. Here's another shot. I'm not sure what reference it is but I've seen it in just about every episode of season 1.

I want one!

MILGAUSS88 · 8 January 2020, 02:28 PM

Bringing this up again.
Saw McLean on a 1981 episode of The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.
McLean appeared to be wearing a gold Submariner in that episode.

Great oldies

I've started watching the show again from the beginning.I've noticed that Colonel Blake has worn 3 different rolexes, that I've noticed. Pepsi, Submariner and I think a gold Sub... or president. I'll keep looking...

To validate your point further, I think modern TV/Movies try much harder to be period-correct than when M*A*S*H was filmed.

rohada · 13 February 2024, 01:34 PM

The ones with the original cast are the best, by far. McLean Stevenson simply can't be beat. Major Burns and Capt McIntyre completely rounded out that original cast. Lightning in a bottle. Can't watch the ones with David Ogden Stiers.

Oh man. I could not disagree more. Colonel Potter and BJ are great. And even the actor who played Frank Burns found the character annoying. That’s why he quit.

As far as the Sub, is it possible that since the sub was first released in 1953, one could have been in theater at the end of the Korean War?
