      I tried correcting you by spelling it correctly, but working out the syntax with the asterisks and slashes was huring my brain.

      But yes - great show.

      Also the only one where I think every cast change was an improvement.

      Trapper was just a clone of Hawk, whereas Honeycut was his own character. Henry was fun, but Potter brought real gravitas and represented a good man who was career Army - which was necessary. Burns had no redeeming characteristics at all, whereas Charles served as an antagonist while still hating the war and being a strong character and excellent surgeon.

      And the way they transformed Kilnger from a cheap side gag into a fully-fleshed out character was remarkable.

      And the decision not to cast a new regular when Radar left was inspired. We felt that hole the remainder of the series.
