I'm watching some episodes of the first season of M*A*S*H right now. I used to watch it quite often back in middle and high school, but I have not watched in in years. Also, I have never seen all the episodes of this show. I kinda just watched those seasons in the middle or something I guess.

And I really notice how Radar changed from the first seasons! Now in season one he drinks, smokes Henry's cigars when he's not looking and appear to be rather wordly, a bit sly, and is knowlegeable about things like the black marked and such. But then later he becomes really innocent and acts as though he has never had a drink in his life? I do like naive country boy Radar quite a lot, but I do also think it's a bit weird to have a character do a 180 like this.

On the upside, I do think that Hawkeye becomes less of a dick in the later seasons. I like him well enough in season one now, but I would say he and Trapper does act a bit too nasty for me to wholly enjoy them in the begining.  I guess some of it can be chalked up to what TV Tropes refers to as "early instalment weirdness"
