episodes were both plot- and character-driven, with several narrated by one of the show's characters as the contents of a letter home. the show's tone could move from silly to sobering from one episode to the next, with dramatic tension often occurring between the civilian draftees of 4077th – hawkeye, trapper john, and b.j. hunnicutt, for example – who are forced to leave their homes to tend the wounded and dying of the war, and the "regular army" characters, such as margaret houlihan and colonel potter, who tend to represent patriotism and duty (though houlihan and potter could also represent the other perspective at times). other characters, such as col. blake, maj. winchester, and cpl. klinger, help demonstrate various american civilian attitudes toward army life, while guest characters played by such actors as eldon quick, herb voland, mary wickes, and tim o'connor also help further the show's discussion of america's place as cold war war maker and peace maker.
m*a*s*h (tv series)
it has sometimes been reported that after "trapper john, m.d." premiered, the producers of the television series "m*a*s*h" filed suit claiming they were entitled to royalties from the new show because their series had also featured trapper john mcintyre as a character, portrayed by actor wayne rogers. according to these reports, although rogers left "m*a*s*h" in 1975 and the character had been written out of the series, the "m*a*s*h" producers argued "trapper john, m.d." was a spin-off of the tv series "m*a*s*h". the producers of "trapper john, m.d" supposedly responded that their series was a spin-off of the 1970 motion picture "mash", which itself was an adaptation of richard hooker's "", but was not a spin-off of the "m*a*s*h" television series and that series' producers were not entitled to royalties from "trapper john, m.d."
