I always thought it was Alan Alda that destroyed MASH. Farrell was an afterthought with me.
I try to avoid patronizing anything with either of them in it.
Fortunately, neither are in very many "must see" vehicles.

I knew Alda was a liberal and could get preachy but for some reason, I never disliked him and if I see something he did on TV, I watch it. I love his performance in Crimes & Misdemeanors. I liked Four Seasons. Farrell, on the other hand, seemed like an Angry Leftist from Day 1, I remember seeing him on TV at political rallies in the 80s and thinking, “this guy is a Communist.”

There was a significant drop off from Trapper to BJ in my opinion; however, Alda’s increasing liberal influence was shown as the series aged.
