I think it's easy for a lot of people to blame Alan Alda for "ruining" M*A*S*H for having so much influence behind the scenes in terms of writing, directing, and being a creative consultant, but when you really stop to think about it, almost every ensemble series on TV, one or more of the main actors has some form of creative control in the show . . . Bob Crane eventually did on HOGAN'S HEROES (and even began investing in the series during its final season), and in this day and age, almost every such series, one or more of the actors gets an executive producer credit.
