There was also a spin off series featuring Trapper... called Trapper John MD

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078704/

---quote---
Twenty-eight years after he was discharged from the army, Trapper John McIntyre, who was very much against authority, now finds himself the very thing he was against during the war as he is now chief of surgery at San Francisco Memorial Hospital. One day a young surgeon named G. Alonzo Gates (Gonzo for short), a former MASH surgeon and Vietman vet, walks into surgery and assists Trapper. Trapper then finds out that Gates is not a member of the staff. However, he is impressed with with the brash young doctor who reminds Trapper of himself when he was younger...

This one ran for 7 seasons from 1979 to 1986, but never made it to the UK.

On another note of trivia, the version of MASH that was shown in the UK didn't have the american laugh track on it. On a few occasions the laugh track version was shown by mistake and the BBC recieved many complaints.

that's interesting to know, I always was bothered by laugh tracks, it's like they are telling you when to laugh. South Park once did a spoof on it, Apparently Matt and Trey are not fans of the laugh track either.

Ya know, I'm a big fan of M*A*S*H* and before reading wiki entries on the show and movie, i had never heard of this. Though it was short lived it would be nice to see an episode or two. :)
