“M*A*S*H” cast still ‘family’ 35 years after its record-breaking finale

UPDATED

It doesn’t seem like that long ago, but the survivors are all at least 75 years old today. Father Mulcahy, Major Winchester, Major Burns, Trapper John, Colonel Blake and Colonel Potter have passed on.

I think it would be interesting to do a M*A*S*H special, setting it in the Reagan years, about 35 years after the Korean War, so that the characters would be the right age. Hawkeye, B.J., Hot Lips, Radar and Klinger are all still alive. It would be interesting to theorize what happened to the characters’ lives after the war.

Sadly, my favorite character, the great Colonel Flagg (Edward Winter), has passed on. Let’s remember some of his great moments:

  1. Well, Trapper was supposedly the same guy in the show Trapper John M.D. What really impressed me about that show was how much the actor who played him looked like an older version of Wayne Rogers. /S

    Not only did he not look alike, he didn’t even act anything like the MASH Trapper John.
