The early or the later ones?

I like the earlier seasons better because like the funny episodes better than the serious ones.However two of my favorite latter-season episodes that I Iike because they were pretty much all comedy are No Sweat and The Moon is Not Blue.

I prefer the later ones, because that's when I first got into the show. "Life Time" was the first full episode I watched, and I became more familiar with Seasons 8-11. The earlier shows felt too much like a different show. In fact, Season 1 closely resembles Hogan's Heroes.

Ideally I would like to combine the best elements of both, Blake and Radar were definitely more interesting and better suited to each other than Potter and Radar. A more mature Radar was also better than the childlike one he became.
Winchester over Frank.
Hawkeye not moralizing as much as he did later on.
Sometimes a movie or tv show plot is so stupid that only the stupid can understand it. -

Later for meI liked Charles', and how he could give it as good as he got itI also liked the fact that Col. Potter & BJ, while tempted at times, did remain faithful to their spouses unlike Henry and Trapper who were little horn dogs after everything and anythingThis reason alone is why I detested both Henry and TrapperHenry wasn't a leader, Potter while IMHO a little to lenient with especially Hawkeye, was military and did adhere to military protocol, whereas Henry was just a doof who never should've been placed in a command position.

I don't go so much for seasons as I do for phases/evolution.
Burns/Houlihan was good at first, but probabhly lasted one season too many.
But, Larry Linville's last season was better because the two character evolved as Houlihan was in love with Penobscot and Burns was hurting.
Trapper and Blake were great, and they probably could have lasted longer before people got tired of them.
Houlihan eolved again when marriage broke up and became more serious.
I found Kingler to be the most interesting character. I liked him in his early "dress" years as well as later when he became company clerk. The characted evolved over the 10 years at a good pace, just as you got tired of the old one.
Hawkeye is the one who evolved the least. -

I wish they had developed Frank off of the last scene in "Margaret's Engagement" when he's talking with Hawkeye about picking up some girls, in particular a young nurse then gets off a good smack on Hoolihan.
Instead they had him devolve into an even more spiteful and hateful character that was (IMO) totally insufferable, and Margaret was little better. I was glad to see him leave after S-5. -

all my favourite episodes are in the first three seasons. Wouldn't have minded Henry being replaced with Potter so much if they hadn't killed henry off. But Trapper being replaced with b.J. ws a disaster for me.

Probably generally the later ones although Seasons 1-3 were very good. I feel however some of the early characters did not transition well as the show changed, especially Frank Burns and Radar. Seasons 4-5 were the worst of the bunch and I think when Winchester joined it really got a lease of new life.
