LOS ANGELES (AP) — Wayne Rogers, whose Trapper John McIntyre on "M.A.S.H." was among the most beloved characters on one of the most popular shows of all time, died Thursday.
The actor was surrounded by family when he died in Los Angeles of complications from pneumonia at age 82, his publicist and longtime friend Rona Menashe told The Associated Press.

I thought this was a post about about Pernell Roberts, but that would have required him to come back to life to pass again. I mean, who would want to do that twice?
Trapper: Take a walk Frank. Frank: This is the Army. Trapper: Then take a hike.
Those first three seasons of MASH were the only ones that really held fairly close to the movie, and that still hold up today. The later cast's characters (and their writers) became increasingly smarmy and whiny over the years, the scripts got soft, and satire all but disappeared.
