In the very early episodes, Hawkeye was not from Maine. What state?
IIRC that was in the first "Dear Dad" episode.
VGNonly
(8,514 posts)If I remember correctly Hawkeye also had a sister and perhaps a living mother, in others episodes he said he was an only child and his father was a widower.
I saw Alan Alda at a talk and book signing. I saw Jamie Farr and shook his hand in Toledo.

(76,979 posts)As that's the city in which I grew up, that bugged me because there were no restaurants at the train station until the 1990s.
They got the addresses & the direction the streets ran wrong in The Sting, too.
That bugged me, too.

(1,545 posts)he hosted before Who do You Trust. I now remember him talking about it
on the Tonight Show. My curiosity got the best of me so I looked it up on
IMDb. I won't post what I found though because I cheated.

Carlin was the first host, and the original title was "NBC's Saturday Night"
Harker
(17,915 posts)and the cast, as I can manage it, were Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Jane Curtin, Garret Morris, and Larrain (sp?) Newman.
