This ledseveralMASHactors to exit early, including Wayne Rogers and McLean Stevenson.

Stevenson’s Blake was the lovable if not entirely competent original commander of the 4077th.

The article got some details wrong, claiming Blake died in a helicopter crash instead of a plane.

Simply put,spoiler culture wasn’t a thing during the 1970s.

If anything, viewers would be tuning in to watchhowthe character died.
