I still wonder why Alan Alda was given center stage. Prior to MASH, how big of a star was he? He certainly wasn't any bigger than Wayne Rogers.

Trapper and Henry were my favorite. It was all about Hawkeye though for all 11 seasons. They chased Rogers away.

Alda was much better known than Wayne Rogers and Stevenson was actually a bigger “star” than either of them. both the book and the movie feature all characters pretty equally...the book is the story of “three army doctors”, Hawkeye, Duke and trapper

they dropped the duke character for the show and elevated Henry Blake to equal billing. When it evolved into the Alan Alda show is when the other 2 wanted out
