    RIP, Wayne Rogers

    It's been reported that actor turned investment banker Wayne Rogers, best known for his role as 'Trapper John' on the TV series M*A*S*H from 1972 to 1975 passed away today at the age of 82. May he RIP. Condolences to his family, former M*A*S*H castmates, and fans.

    Ah, this is sad news. I loved Trapper almost as much as Hawkeye on MASH, sometimes more. Hawkeye and Trapper had a chemistry together that BJ was never quite able to replace, perhaps because BJ was a happily married man with a brand new baby. But when you put Trapper, Hawk and either Frank or Henry in the same scene together, they shared a very similar ability to play off of one another as did another famous television triumverate: Kirk, Spock and McCoy. You will be missed Wayne. Condolences to your family and friends...

      Loved seeing Wayne talk about stocks on Fox News.

      Thinking about it now, it was the only thing Fox News was worth watching for.



      RIP

        Basically...to me...MASH didn't exist after Wayne Rogers left. Mike Farrel was horrible. The relationship between Wayne and Alan Alda was second to none.

        I could watch the first 2 seasons of MASH over and over and over and over......

            I've been watching M*A*S*H on a regular basis, on weekday evenings, since I've had MeTV. I didn't understand it when I was a kid. I love it! So, this is very sad news.

            Rest in peace, Trap.

                  Always wished Wayne would have stuck around for the Colonel Potter and Major Winchester eras. That would have been really entertaining.

                      I was much more a Wayne fan than a Farrel fan, how much fun it would have been listening to his rank downs on
                      Winchester. RIP Trapper.

                        I don't think a Trapper / Hawkeye / Winchester trio would have worked. Frank Burns worked because he was a buffoon and took their crap. Winchester was too proud to take crap and always tried to retaliate.

                            I always like Trapper way better than BJ

                            BJ seemed like somebody I wouldn't want to be friends with because he thinks his s__t don't stink - and he seems too highly strung.

                            Trapper was more of a regular guy.

                              He just wasn't that funny either...but neither were the new writers that came on staff.
