Charles was a much better character. Unlike Frank, he was occasionally written to land on the right side of a dispute with Hawkeye and BJ.

I prefer Charles over Frank as well. Charles is a believable character whereas Frank is a caricature.

I preferred Charles. He may have been officious but he was delightful in his humor.

I loved Frank, because of his shenanigans, and his buffoonery

I would have liked them to develop Frank more. Maybe an episode where he writes a letter to his wife about what's going on in camp.

Charles. Frank just never seemed to be able to do anything admirable; his character never grew. But Charles was different. Yes, he was a snob. But his character really grew during the series. He became more human. And we saw the more human parts of him as it happened - for example, his work with the soldier patient who stuttered, with the soldier who was a pianist who had lost either one of his hands or the use of, etc. And there is a fantastic episode where Lt. Col. Flagg tried to get Charles to spy for him and Charles sets him up (I believe this is season 7 episode "Rally Round the Flagg, Boys).

He wasn't supposed to be admirable. He was condescending, arrogant, and extremely self-righteous. His main plot of the show, was to try and foil whatever Hawkeye and Trapper were plotting.

I found him very comical
