I'd argue that Farr was more of a "star" than Christopher, and that's my guess as to why they did it that way.
Klinger was always a supporting character in those early years, but even in S2 and S3, he was carrying scenes (most of which were with Blake or Hawkeye). Mulcahy was always a supporting character in the early years too, but he was often a straightman for a punchline, there for contrast and seasoning rather than as a main course. I don't intend that as a knock on Mulcahy/Christopher, of course; much of the show's writing relied on someone to fill that role, whether it was Mulcahy, Frank, a Korean, or even Hawkeye.
But where I could imagine viewers tuning in to see what shenanigans Klinger was going to pull in that week's episode, it seems unlikely that was never true of Mulcahy.

Klinger was hilarious in all his attempts to get out of the army. I enjoyed his creative schemes to be discharged while being dedicated to his work as a corpsman then company clerk.
As we say in "Red/White Blues". Margaret and Hawkeye thought that Klinger was being a Goldbrick when Potter needed to get his blood pressure down.
Turns out he was anemic. Margaret had told Goldman he should lay down. Klinger, flabbergasted said:
Klinger: Sure, you believe him I've got the same symptoms, and I'm a Goldbrick.
Margaret: It's not the same. He's tired and his back hurts.
Klinger: Uh hu. It's the same, only I had it first.
Margert: Well, I never know when to believe you with all the stunt you pulled.
Klinger: I never pulled anything on the job and would ever ever pull anything on the Colonel.
Klinger always did his job and never ever shirked his responsibilities.
