The Nameless Teddy Bear
Even though he was nameless, the teddy bear Radar had had almost become a character of its own on the show. At first, once the show was over, the bear was in the Smithsonian for a while, but then it was decided to auction it off in the summer of 2005. The starting bid was $500. The bear included a letter of authenticity from Gary Burghoff, who confirmed the bear was the one used on the show as well as the fact that it was the only one of its kind. All in all, there were 19 bidders, and the final bid came in at over $14k. The bear ended up on the show simply by being found on the set at Fox Ranch.

Corporal For Comic Relief
Even though the character was meant to appear in just one episode, Corporal Maxwell Q. Klinger was played by Jamie Farr and ended up becoming a regular throughout the series. He was a great addition to the show, known for his schemes, like the cross-dressing, get-rich-quick schemes, as well as other plotlines where he acted as a form of comic relief. The designated “effeminate gay” character, the writers decided to make him a heterosexual rather than the original plan of having him attempt an early release by failing a psych test.
