A rumor, why he might have left:
Not realizing how popular and long-lasting M*A*S*H would be, McLean left at the end of the third season in order to pursue other TV projects. It's rumoured that he was offered a lot more money than he was receiving on M*A*S*H in order to do his own show, entitled "The McLean Stevenson Show", but this show was very short-lived. Since the writers had killed his character off (partly out of malice for his leaving?), there was no way he could return to M*A*S*H.
