Trivia:

When Gary Burghoff decided to leave the series, Mike Farrell tried unsuccessfully to talk him out of it. Specifically, Farrell cited the lackluster, relatively unsuccessful TV careers both McLean Stevenson and Larry Linville had once they earlier left the show and ultimately he was right, Burghoff's subsequent television career never took off.
