RIP Trapper John, M.D. (TV Version)

[qtlaw]

Just saw this on cnn.com. Wow, did not know he was 81. Enjoyed him as the anti Marcus Welby (like Dr. Welby as well growing up.)

Waiting for Wayne Rogers to issue a statement that he is in fact still living.

The M*A*S*H TV people are still going strong for the most part. Larry Linville and McLean Stevenson are the only departed that I know of. And Harry Morgan is still with us at 94.

Interesting note about Stevenson: He died of a heart attack one day, and Roger Bowen, who played Henry Blake in the movie, died of a heart attack the next day.

Abe Vigoda outlives another one.

Didn't Roger Bowen played the immortal Hamilton Majors Jr. on a short-lived series called "Arnie"?

Bowen's family didn't announce his death until a week later, not wanting to get in the way of people paying their respects to McLean, IIRC.

Kellerman, Gould, Skerritt, Sutherland, Cort, Schuck, Duvall, hell of a cast.

I thought I was the only person to remember that show. Hershel Bernardi as Arnie, of course.

20-point bonus question: At what company did Arnie work? (no fair Googling.)

It had to do with flange or something.

Continental Flange? My grandpa thinks it is, since he watched Arnie. I had to ask him tonight.

Speaking of Bernardi, didn't he play Jacobi on Peter Gunn? I remember watching that series in college on one of the old Starz mystery channel.

Damn straight he does. He knows as much t.v. as I do. His ears perked up when I asked him about Hamilton Majors. He never forgot the name!

He'll always be Adam Cartwright to me.

RIP to last of the Cartwrights.

An early victim of what later became known as "Chuck Cunningham Syndrome," when a character departs a TV series, never returns for visits home and, in fact, is never referred to again.

Another early victim - Mike Douglas (Tim Considine) on "My Three Sons."

I remembered the show. It was the rage at my high school because the girl who played his daughter -- Stephanie Steele -- was a classmate.

Not to be confused with "Ted McGinley Syndrome," that peculiar malady that means you can start polishing your resume as soon as Mr. McGinley joins your cast.
