Trapper John, M. D. Kind a just sucked! Being a big M A S H fan as a kid I tried watching Trapper John, M. D. a couple of times. Meh, ugh this is not M A S H at all. Well when you are a kid you do not understand marketing. The T V world angle the M A S H theme for just another medical show. With the usual social message. Just like, the show, After M A S H I could only watch a couple of the preachy shows void of any humor and I thought rip off. As I got older, I realized Hollywood has no originality so tag a formulated dry t v series with a successfully one, and see if the public buys it. Well I give this 5 stars.
