NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Loved that character and Rogers was a FOX NEWS regular.
His replacement on MASH was that Liberal jackass, Mike Farrell (”BJ” Honeycutt.)
His character on the TV show was more of a sidekick to Alda’s.
In the book by Richard Hooker (I must be one of the few that actually read it-and I’ve also read most of the sequels-they pretty much suck after ‘MASH Goes To Maine’), Trapper John has a much, much bigger role than was portrayed on TV. It also reveals exactly how he came to be known as “Trapper John”.
