M*A*S*H's Trapper or BJ?

[MoeFOH]

It's usually pretty crude to be thoroughly divisive about people based on a 50/50, but not in this case. I regard the choice of Hawkeye's preferred partner in crime as a deeply intellectual, emotional, spiritual, and wholly legitimate anthropological device... Or at least a good way to decide if I'm going to shout someone I don't know very well a beer. : )

So, Trapper or BJ?

And/or tell me what little 50/50's you sometimes apply?

BJ—he was more of a foil to Hawkeye.

[SigmundChurchill]

Trapper!  No contest.  There was no BJ in the movie.

 

....wait, I didnt mean that the way it sounded.

[SigmundChurchill]

Henry Blake vs Sherman Potter?  Henry Blake.

And for the same reason.  

[bpm32]

Wait, the movie counts? Spearchucker then. He was the only likeable character in the movie besides Radar.

[Cayman17]

Definitely Trapper and Blake. And Frank Burns over Charles Emerson Winchester.

Now, how can anyone not like Radar?

Ha ha... yep, I was just talking about the TV series. And, yeah, about the Hunnicutt type of BJ, not the Hot Lips type. ?

Besides Radar. But then again, if you ever saw “W*A*L*T*E*R” you might start to doubt.

It really depends on whether you are talking about M.A.S.H. the film or the TV series.

For me personally, I prefer Hunnicutt over Trapper. And Potter over Blake.

I was actually talking about the TV show, which I liked better when it was true to the movie.

[scap99]

Trapper, for me.

BJ 

[HarveyBoulevard]

Trapper, Henry and Frank

But still enjoyed BJ, Potter, and Winchester.

I'm a huge M*A*S*H fan I can't count how many times I've watched the entire series. I don't think I could pick a favorite - they are all outstanding. Only thing I would change is to take the focus off of Hawkeye and put it on the other characters.
