One of the other characters in the show was Doctor George Alonzo "Gonzo" Gates, who was played by Gregory Harrison. Harrison had also had a guest role on M*A*S*H when he spotlighted the discrimination against male nurses. Gonzo was a man who had just returned to the states as serving in a Vietnam-era MASH unit, and who was much like what Trapper had been earlier.
In this series, Trapper had mellowed somewhat, and had become more a part of establishment than what he had been in his younger days. Eventually his son, J.T., joins him at the hospital. While the show had a comedy element, it also dealt with serious subjects, such as AIDS. Legally, the show is considered a spinoff of the original movie M*A*S*H, rather than the M*A*S*H television show. This was due to a court case where the producers of the series had sought royalty payments on the grounds that Trapper John, M.D. was a spinoff of their television series. However the court found that the series was a spinoff of the original movie. As a result, the series did not receive any royalties from Trapper John. Show Description Credit: Wikipedia |
