#4 I believe that Trapper John M.D. aired while M*A*S*H* was still on the air. They only used the character's name - the actors had no connection with the series. From what I can remember, Trapper John M.D. ran a few seasons. A*F*T*E*R*M*A*S*H* ran considerably less - in fact I think Klinger did join Radar and Col. Potter on the show.I may be in a minority on this one - but I still love the original book and it's first sequel more than the TV show and the movie. The movie was one of my favorites.
