Lieutenant Colonel Henry Blake’s plane was shot over the Sea of Japan.

That was a tough ending. Couldn’t imagine watching in real time and having to wait until next season with that as my last episode. Oh well, my binge continues.

Yet those surgeons kept working.

Trapper is gone to start season 4!


Jun 4, 2021, 10:11 AM

What the heck? That would’ve ticked off a lot of folks in thinking.

They just kinda removed "spearchucker" too.

One day he was there, the next day he wasn't.

Imagine having THAT name on a TV show now.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

He actually explains that in the original movie.


Jun 4, 2021, 10:26 AM

Somebody asked him how he got that name and he said it's because he used to throw the javelin in college. Maybe someday I'll read the novel it all came from and see if it's touched on there.

The novel and sequel MASH goes to Maine are both good reads***

“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov

I'm anxious to read the novel that Trapper John, MD was


Jun 4, 2021, 10:38 AM

based on.

Its the same one that New Amsterdam, The Resident, ER,


Jun 4, 2021, 10:42 AM

Chicago Med, Chicago Hope, Saving Hope, The Night Shift, Code Black, Transplant, Grey's Anatomy, St. Elsewhere, Body of Proof, Nurse Jackie, and Lennox Hill were all written about.

Crazy Major General Bartford Hamilton Steele just showed up.


Jun 4, 2021, 11:11 AM

Now he’s the familiar Colonel Sherman T. Potter.

Love this guy!

Potter > Blake, Hunnicutt > Trapper, Winchester > Burns***

Don’t know about greater for the first two. They were equally awesome.


Jun 4, 2021, 12:16 PM

But the third is absolutely correct. They could’ve let Burns die in a mine field while we watched his body explode. And we would’ve gladly accepted his replacement.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Potter, Hunnicutt, and Winchester all had more depth

to their characters. Worked well in both the comedic and dramatic episodes.

I think it was a question of insufferable arrogance vs. smarmy worminess. I thought they were equally good, I mean, as characters to hate.

That was as hard on my childhood as reading about Old Yeller getting shot. Then to top it off I had to learn about Santa Claus. No wonder I'm a mentally scarred sociopath now.

2024 free_orange level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

my Mom was so upset


Jun 4, 2021, 3:17 PM

that she wrote a letter (regular old letter) to the tv people complaining about Henry not being on the show anymore AND dying

they wrote a nice letter back indicating that is what happens in wars and included a nice signed picture of the cast

you tell them Mom, love and miss you

Cat on a tin roof, dogs in a pile,
Nothin' left to do but smile, smile, smile!!!!


I watched the episode at the time..................


Jun 4, 2021, 4:12 PM

many years ago. I watched again on YouTube after seeing this post. Great scene and IMO best show ever.
