BJ???
I never understood why they picked the charctor of BJ, was his sweet smooth nature suppose to be counterbalance to hawkeyes crude and course nature???
shareI think when they replaced a character on the show, they made a conscious effort to make the character different enough from the character he replaced so he wouldn't be accused of being the same character. I think BJ's character was short-changed. He was pretty much Hawkeye's shadow from the start. They couldn't replace him with another womanizer like Trapper.

I blame autocorrect.

Agree with you about BJ. As much as I like his first episode, he's put into a place where he's Hawkeye's pal/sidekick who's not allowed to develop his own characteristics. Luckily they didn't make that mistake with Charles.
shareHe had his moments, but like you said, he was the sidekick.

what does "coarse GN" mean, please?
Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought an idiot - than to open it and remove all doubt!
AGAIN, dbrockskk1....can you PLEASE tell us just what the hell "coarse GN" MEANS???
I don't understand WHY you, or anyone else for that matter, would waste time posting something that nobody can understand, hell, you probably don't even know what you meant, I have a sneaking suspicion you did not mean "coarse" (something that is rough) but "course", which should've been proceeded by "of"???
But all that aside, if you think it's fun to post nonsensical, stupid & meaningless crap - it's certainly your prerogative.........but, WADR, you sound like a fool, imo.

It STILL doesn't make sense!!
but since you're incapable of explaining yourself, I'll just spend 10 seconds feeling empathy for you - and then forget I ever encountered you. Be happy☺

The original poster used the word "course" when the spelling of the word (s)he was trying to use in that context was "coarse". The post "coarse GN" was apparently a terse way of correcting the spelling and somewhat preemptively and self-deprecatingly pointing out that the correcter is himself behaving like a "grammar Nazi."
I agree with you that the post "coarse GN" is cryptic and that cryptic two-word posts are annoying. However, if you frequent IMDb for very long, you will probably run into a lot of similar posts. But the most disturbing posts usually have a lot more than two words.
I think you're correct in your description.
I do find it funny that some posters get really worked up over spelling and grammar to the point that they can't even see the point of the comments that have been posted. In my experience, these are the same posters who attack people for having differing opinions.

Thanks very much for explaining "coarse GN" to me - I always check for explanations at Abbreviations.com........and they had 52 definitions for GN, but not one of them was grammar nazi! (I'm an Editor on that site, I'll go add it)

That was always one of M*A*S*H's best traits. The replacement characters were the opposite of the ones they were replacing.
