Spin-Offs For Days

Being a success, this show inspired not one, but three spin-offs when it ended in 1983. One being Trapper John, M.D., which focused on his life post-army as the Chief of Surgery at a San Francisco hospital. After seven seasons, it came to an end. W*A*L*T*E*R was a show meant to be about the life of Radar’s character in St. Louis. Unsure of his direction after the military, the character was written to become a police officer. Unfortunately, the pilot wasn’t picked up. The last spin-off was called AfterMASH, which starred Harry Morgan, William Christopher, and Jamie Farr. This one was short-lived as it just wasn’t at the same level as the popular show.

Then And Now

Before he became an actor, Gary Burghoff was a musician. He was the drummer for a band called The Relatives, sharing the stage with none other than Wonder Woman herself, Lynda Carter. Burghoff and Carter remained friends through the years, with Burghoff landing a guest spot on her hit series with her help. Once the series was over, Burghoff retired from acting to focus on his childhood interest in animals. He combined it with his artistic talent, becoming a successful full-time wildlife painter.
