Actually, the second was based off the character from MASH.
First, people change (i.e. go bald and gain a few pounds) and "Trapper John,
MD" took place a few decades after the Korean War. Second, the character
in the second often talked about his days in Korea. Third, I don't whole
a whole lot of people who happened to be named "Trapper", who are
doctors, and who are the right age. Do you?

It wasn't the same ACTOR, but it was the same character. I watched this
show for years, and Trapper made several references to the time he spent
in Korea at a mash unit.

That was Pernell Roberts. Anyone old enough (includes me) will
remember him as also playing the prodigal Cartwright son Adam in
Bonanza.

setting in Trapper John is in early 80's. There is even an episode on
"Trapper" that is a direct Rip-off of the "Captain Tuttle" (don't know

Not being an avid watcher of "Trapper John, MD" I can't give you all
the answers, but the show was based on the Trapper John character in MASH,
and there were references to his days in Korea. (Just not any particular
ones that I can recall)

Yes, there were definitely references to Korea, but as far as I know
(haven't seen an episode in several months) they never explicitly said
that it was the same person later in life.

There was a Radar show called "Walter" that starred Gary Burgoff
and Victoria Jackson. It took place soon after Radar arrives
Radar gets a divorce from his wife. Pretty lame and it never
got past the pilot.

absolutely no idea it was the same character. I was somewhere under the

actor was Prunell Roberts (I am unsure if Purnell is spelt correctly)
There was a flash-back to Korea in the first episode, but as the show
developed it's own personality, the references to Korea became fewer and
fewer. Hope this helps.

Wayne Rodgers was to hAve continued his role as TJ, but for unknown
reasons, Pernell Roberts was cast. The producers moved the show up to the
70's to account for his age. It was the same character, only older.
Similar to Lou Grant, but with many more years in between. I remember
thinking they should have brought in Tony Curtis in to play an older
Hawkeye.

Well, Wayne Rogers showed up about the same time in a short lived
sit-com about doctors called House Calls. But he wasn't playing
Trapper...

The t.v. series of Trapper John M.D. was played by Pernell Roberts
who was the oldest brother of the Cartwrights in the T.V. series of
Bonanza. Wayne Rogers played Trapper John in the T.V. series of
M.A.S.H. and in the pilot episode of M.A.S.H., it was either Elliot
Gould or Donald Sutherland that played Trapper.

This one is a DEFINITE candidate for the FAQ! OK, one more time. The ACTOR
playing Trapper John, M.D. was NOT the same actor who played him in M*A*S*H.
The former was Pernell Roberts (earlier from Bonanza) and the latter, of course
is Wayne Rogers. BUT, the CHARACTER was the same, albeit about 20-25 years
later in a Stateside hospital. In the first (pilot?) episode, they introduced
the Gregory Harris(on?) character rolling up to the hospital in his camper and
decked out in a MASH-like Hawaiin print shirt. I THINK that Harris had come
from a MASH unit in 'Nam; in either case, he even asked about whether there was
any truth to the legendary stories about the Korean-era 4077th hi-jinx that he
had heard about. So, this is the story. They DEFINITELY claim that this Trapper
John is the self-same Trapper from Korea, just older. -- VIC

TJ, M.D. when it was on, but is there any place (cable maybe?) where you
can catch reruns. I would love to know.
