I like all the new characters including BJ but Wayne Rogers as Trapper was far superior to BJ, the others I thought were rrelatively equal to their predecessors.

I cant believe they kept the Spear Chucker character from the movie character at the beginning of the show before they got rid of him a few episodes in. I think he ended up hanging out w Richie Cunningham's older brother from Happy Days I think it was chuck who they also wrote out of the show shortly into it.

MASH was great but as the show went on Alan Alda got too much power and made the show too preachy. The early era w the original cast IMO was the prime period of the show.

I've got mixed feelings on that... I agree that Alda turned the show a little too preachy... but I still prefer Winchester and Potter to their predecessors. Spear Chucker, I've wondered at times what the show would have been like if they had kept him.
