Grape Knee-High

edit

This show was shown, and repeated, and re-run, and re-run… etc etc… outside the USA, as well.

Therefore, many of we non-US viewers were perplexed by Radar sighing, again and again, and over and over again, about his longing for a ‘grape knee-high.’ Where on earth are grapes that tall grown?

Only after many years did I stumble over a reference to Nehi as a popular American soft drink. Another example of US cultural imperialism. Everyone on earth knows what Nehi is, and if a nation doesn’t know, the US will invade and liberate it and set up a MASH for its wounded. 2001:44B8:3102:BB00:5594:6BAC:75C2:9CA1 (talk) 20:23, 2 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Klinger

edit

I deleted a sentence that said Klinger's statement in the fifth season that the "Klinger Collection" took him three years to put together implied that he'd been cross-dressing before he entered the army. Like most of the rest of this article, that sentence didn't have any source listed. The "implication" is simply opinion unless there's a source given. Since it would have been totally against Klinger's story for him to have been cross-dressing before he was drafted and since the "three years" comment came after the show had been on the air for five years, it's far more likely to have been a goof in the script. But whatever the explanation should be based on a source. Since this is ultimately totally trivial and added nothing to the article, and since it was unsourced, I took the liberty of just deleting it.
