    That's a good point. If Maclean had of stayed Alda might have had some competition and the storylines wouldn't have become so SJW, at least not as often.
    Hawkeye/Alda pretty much had the show to himself after Maclean and to a lesser extent Linville left.
    Sometimes a movie or tv show plot is so stupid that only the stupid can understand it.

      blake is funnier. i wouldn't have minded the changeover to Potter so much though if they hadn't killed off Blake, which I always thought a horrd thing to do.

          But there was no need for it. Henry could just have gone home. Richard hooker, the author of the original novel, wrote a series of other books about the characters from MASH set after the war, in which Henry appears as a character, so i don't see the writers of the TV series need have killed him off either.

            Hooker wrote those books (which are really dumb, by the way. I read them in the 80's) as a bit of retaliation against the tv series, which he hated.

              Potter was the leader they needed, but Blake was the leader they deserved. I like them both about equally.

                Potter. He was not as laid back as Blake but he was well respected by the Generals and did not put up with Burns.

                  I like them both however i prefer Potter being the strong commander who could handle the brass, be a disciplinarian, understand the need to prank/joke around and be silly once in awhile for the sake of keeping sane. He knew when to get involved and when to stay out of it. Henry was a good man who should've been at Tokyo General teaching new techniques and treating patients.

                      Potter was the better commander although I seem to recall there were too many episodes where they had him lose his temper, get too emotional etc.
