7. Many of the characters were based on real people
The writers on the show had a lot of fun naming the characters, such as after ex-girlfriends and professional athletes. In one episode, for example, the patients were named after the 1978 LA Dodgers team. The picture of Mildred on Colonel Potter’s desk was actor Harry Morgan’s real-life wife. The character Klinger hails from Toledo, Ohio just like actor Jamie Farr.
