I would agree. Sadly for me the character ran thin very early in the show and was only rescued by the changing of the other starring characters.

@hippyjoe1955 Did you like Trapper or BJ better?

@originnone I think BJ was a little more rounded.

@hippyjoe1955 tough call though. they were both great. I thought bj being married made it interesting.

@originnone When the show first came out all the characters were almost cartoonish. As the years progressed the replacement characters became much more realistic. Sadly the Hawkeye character remained cartoonish. Not a bad show but certainly not a great one in my opinion. Other's opinions may differ.

@hippyjoe1955 I really loved Hawkeye throughout the series, and I think Allan Alda was perfect. To me, Trapper John was a little too much like Hawkeye. I never thought of what you said about "cartoonish" but it's true.
