Trapper John,MD of FX?
tra...@webtv.net
on Trapper John MD being shown at 6am SAT and SUN.
I set my VCR to record but I forgot to change the time (spring Up) but
I caught the tail end of it. It was a guy with black hair who reminded
me a tad tad tad bit of BJ. and the end credits showed doctors and a
medical advisor.
Was this Tapper John, MD and is it being shown on FX? And if it
is....is it worth setting my VCR to catch an ep?
Thanks,
Ty

I f mind remembers correctly, that is Parnell Roberts. He was one of the
orginal sons on Bonanza, but left the show early on.

Trapper John, M.D. does air on FX @ 6AM on SAT and SUN. We've been
airing them out of order for awhile now. I don't know when programming
will start over from the beginning.
Regards,
Roe

Doesn't it also air on Odyssey, I'm not sure when, but I caught it on Odyssey
on a Saturday afternoon (last week) at 5 in the afternoon...

M*A*S*H, nor are the characters necessarily supposed to resemble the character
on M*A*S*H. That being said, Trapper John, MD was a great show in it's own
right. My advice is to set your VCR to catch an ep or 2.
Just don't expect a hardline connection.

If you've ever seen the first ep/pilot for Trapper John, there are
some -very- strong ties to M*A*S*H and every so often, there are things
referred to from Korea. Not many though.
I, for one, liked Trapper John and think the writers of it did an excellent
job seperating it from M*A*S*H

until given the tie-in to MASH. I think "House Calls" would have been
a more logical extension of the character than anything in "Trapper"
(even though, I know, that series was based on a different movie and had
nothing to do with MASH).
Was Gene Reynolds or anyone else from MASH involved in the production of
"Trapper"?

I agree with that, mainly because of the familiar face of Wayne Rogers.
I've always wondered why he didn't play in "Trapper John M.D.", as he
played a similar role in "House Calls" anyway?

I don't remember if "House Calls" came before "Trapper John", but maybe he
was already committed to "House Calls". Besides, he would have looked too
young to play Trapper in his 50's/60's.

The first telecast of "Trapper John M.D" was on September 23, 1979 and the
first of "House Calls" was on December 17, 1979. Both shows were produced
by CBS and ran until September 4 1986 and September 13, 1982 respectivally.
Wayne Rogers were born in 1933, making him 46 in 1979, so - bearing in
mind that this is strictly hypothetical - it could have worked.

I remember reading somewhere that Wayne Rogers wasn't very happy when he
left M*A*S*H, so it's probable that he didn't *want* to play the role
again.
