The change that always intrigues me is that Frank Burns character.
In the original book and movie [he was played by Robert Duval] Frank is not an idiot. He’s a competent surgeon. The reason the others hate him is that when a patient lives it’s because Frank is a great doctor, and when a patient dies it’s someone else’s fault. Trapper punches him after Frank tells an 18 year old corpsman that the corpsman had killed a patient.
Winchester was overbearing and obnoxious, but he had a sense of humor and a modicum of self-awareness.
Thank you for bringing up the term “bottle episode” again. I was trying to remember what it was called and searching was only coming up with clip episode.
Someone posted a picture of an episode of Frasier at the spa “There is a platinum door?” and I was wanting to see if that matched the bottle episode definition.
MASH did some amazing bottle episodes. I remember watching the series back when Netflix mailed disks and really enjoying it. It held up really well.

The book also tells us how Trapper got his nickname.
In the book and the movie, when Trapper pulls a jar of olives out of his coat.
