Hawkeye, for sure... COL Potter follows...

Favorite episode: When Radar walks into the ER to announce Henry Blake's helicopter had been shot down while he was en route home-sweet-home. ((Gets me EVERY time!!)) :'(

Lighter side: when they tried to get Adam's Ribs shipped in for a treat.

Top 5 favorite shows of ALL time!!!

One of the greatest TV shows ever! It is hard to pick a favorite character, but I like Winchester. He could sometimes even get the best of BJ and Hawkeye - a good one liner, a jab or joke - something Ferret Face (Burns) was never able to do...he was always on the receiving end.

One episode that I found touching (though many are!) was Season 11 Episode 9 - Run For the Money.

Winchester, who is normally too aloof to involve himself personally with anyone, befriends a patient who stutters...and at the end of of the episode we find him listening to a recorded message from his sister, Anoria, who stutters. Thus we get a quick glimpse into the protective and loving side of his personality that he almost never shows.

Side note, I had the privilege of meeting Jamie Farr (Klinger) about 20 years ago at the Jimmy V Golf Classic! Very classy and humble guy, a genuinely nice man.

But Margaret softened up towards the middle and end of the series... She became "human". Really showed the influence that the guys had on her--especially after Burns left.

Favorite episode the dreams of home. Hawk is in surgery and has a nightmare of not being able to help by giving his arms. He ends up in a canoe with oars a lake full of limbs

My favorite TV series! My favorite character is a tough one, Radar, Sydney Freedman, Col Potter and Klinger, some of the crap he came up with was hilarious. My favorite episode was the last one, I was stationed in Kunsan AB, ROK at the time, and they broadcast the episode via satellite and commercial free to US Military units in Korea. We stayed up most of the night to watch it.

Favorite character? Hard choice between Hawkeye, Radar, or BJ.

My favorite episode was the one where Radar went home. He finally realized that they would make it without him & that he could move on w/ his life...a problem, I think, many have when they leave their (enter branch specific term).

Oh that's a tough one. I loved them all. The one that I always found hilarious was the one where they have to account for the mess trays and they keep doing the "in one door out the other" to insure the count is right.

Obviously most will say Hawkeye which is one of my favorites, but I enjoyed Dr. Sydney Freedman. My favorite episode is Dear Sigmond.
