HAPPY TRAPPER TUESDAY WEDNESDAY EVERYBODY

“Henry Blake was incompetent” Henry Blake was human and a great surgeon. He loved his kids, his wife, fishing, he loved Hawkeye, Trapper, Klinger, Radar, Mulcahey, he loved being a doctor. Just because he wasn’t walking military propaganda like Col. Potter doesn’t mean he was incompetent. Henry trusted everyone to make the good moral decision. They always did, and I happen to think he was a good, fair leader.

Ladies and germs, and all the nice creatures of tumblr, my mom told me she cannot tell BJ and Trapper apart, so I made this. This is canon, actually.

I don't know why it doesn't seem to have occurred to me until forty-plus years later that Starch and Shoop ought to be appearing in my M*A*S*H cartoons

Head and shoulders, tail and paws: Correlation between curse length and curse-caused characteristics“ (colloquially also called “The McIntyre Method”) is nowadays considered to be one of the most influential and important scientific articles dealing with the markedness of curses, although it was disreputable at the time of publishing to question the widespread ideas about curse characteristics. The study is the most frequently cited one on the topic and serves as a milestone in understanding its matter.

Gregory Harrison played a young, free-spirited doctor on the 1970’s/1980’s TV series “Trapper John, M.D.” According to the Monster MASH wiki: “Gonzo’s sense of humor, impetuousness, tendency to ‘defy the establishment,’ as well as his free-spirited ‘love of life’ also reflected elements of Trapper's younger days, which reminds Trapper of his days as a MASH surgeon.”

I find it ironic that he’s now playing Philip Buckley when he, essentially, played the Buck to Pernell Robert’s Bobby-type character.

Gregory Harrison. My first TV star crush (my second was Dirk Benedict). Sigh. I wish I could enjoy seeing you again.

😿

P.S. That said, the casting is great. He does look like he could be Buck and Maddie’s dad when you take both photos into account.

Trapper John, M.D. Masterpost

TL;DR, Trapper John, M.D. is a criminally underrated M*A*S*H spin-off that I'd love to see given a shot at redemption. Links to watch it are under the cut.

Since I've been talking about this show a lot recently, I thought it would probably be a good idea to make it easier to find, since it's fairly obscure nowadays.

If you've never heard of it, I don't blame you. TJMD is a M*A*S*H spin-off that ran from 1979 to 1986, with a contemporary setting and generally more dramatic tone but the same irreverent sense of humor and at times surprisingly progressive writing as its predecessor. It follows Trapper John McIntyre thirty-ish years after the Korean War, contending with medical mysteries and changing times as Chief Surgeon of a major hospital in San Francisco.

The series has few direct references to the events of M*A*S*H (in any of its previous forms), but it features a compelling ensemble cast of original characters that take many tropes M*A*S*H fans will be familiar with in new directions. Especially if you enjoyed the first three seasons of M*A*S*H, I highly recommend giving at least a handful of episodes a shot. The quality of said episodes varies wildly, but there are some true gems in there. (IMDb and Wikipedia links for more information!)

The only catch is, to date, the series has never been officially released to home media or any streaming platform, and I haven't found any evidence that it's still in syndication, so it's not the easiest show to track down. Luckily, all 151 episodes were recorded by dedicated fans, so the series is watchable in (very nearly) its entirety if you know where to look. I did the looking so you don't have to!

This Google Drive contains every episode of the series (with the exceptions listed below) in standard definition, plus my work-in-progress episode guide, highlighting episodes that are relevant to longer story arcs and offering a non-exhaustive list of content warnings for especially heavy episodes. (I'm looking for another place to host them but Google is the platform I'm most familiar with.)

Episodes 1x01 through 3x02 can be found in better quality here, remastered by a fan by combining footage from separate English- and German-language recordings of the series. It occasionally lapses into German audio with English subtitles as the German dub contains some scenes for which the corresponding English audio has been lost. Here is an alternate YouTube link with lower video quality but exclusively English audio, containing roughly 2/3 of the episodes.

If you speak German, you can find that dub here with slightly cleaner visuals.

If you prefer to torrent, you can find those here:

Season 1

Season 2

Season 3

Season 4 (the second half of 4x20 is corrupted, repeating the same ~2 minutes of footage for the rest of the duration)

Season 5 (5x11 is missing roughly the last 10 minutes of the episode)

Season 6 (the video is frozen for most of 6x23 but the audio is fully intact)

Season 7

The difference between the Hawkeye and Bj dynamic vs the Hawkeye and Trapper dynamic is that Hawkeye cares for everyone SO much and Trapper always made sure Hawkeye was cared for. When Hawkeye starts going over the edge Trapper always brought him back whereas Bj leaves Hawkeye to go over and break.
