I couldn’t really get into the show after falling in love with the Altman film, which is way more National Lampoon than war drama. I do love Alan Alda in the West Wing, but Donald Sutherland is who I think of as Hawkeye.My wife and I watch M*A*S*H reruns on MeTV and whichever other channels air them, and even though I've been watching the show since the days when they were still making new episodes I still enjoy it a lot. But as the years have passed I've noticed Wayne Rogers wasn't a particularly good actor. Mind you, I've only ever seen him in M*A*S*H and his "don't blink or you'll miss him" role in the movie Cool Hand Luke (1967), but...well, I much prefer Mike Farrell and his character B.J. Hunnicutt--far more believable as an actor, and much better chemistry between Mr. Farrell and Alan Alda from the moment their characters are on-screen together.
