Trapper John M.D. 

USA / CBS/ 150x60m-e / 1979-86

First Episode: Sunday 23 September 1979 / 10.00pm
Last Episode: Thursday 4 September 1986 / 10.00pm

Medical drama. A kind of spin off from M*A*S*H set twenty eight years after the end of the Korean War and featuring an older, wiser and balder Dr John McIntyre.
The series concerned his role as Chief of Surgery at San Francisco Memorial Hospital, always ready to get personally involved with his patients needs.
Other regulars included womanising Dr Gonzo Gates who just happened to live in a R.V. stationed in the hospital's car park; Trapper's scrub nurse Starch (later replaced by Nurse Shoop - the actress playing Starch, Mary McMarty, died) and also Dr's Jackson and Riverside.
Trapper's son J.T. later became an intern at the hospital during the 1984 season. Major development for the final season was the character of young Gonzo suffering a stroke.
