No relationship between the two actors. I dont FOR ANYONE know why you find the M.D. show Trapper John stupid. How come Emergency lasted so long and still is with us in repeats? You hear the same line on that show all the time, and Brackett (Robert Fuller) and Early (Bobby Troup) seem to be the only doctors ever on duty at the hospital. You say that Trapper John is a remake of M.A.S.H. If it is, why doesnt it stay on the air, since M.A.S.H. has? If everybody would think like you, all TV medical shows would be like Marcus Welby, M.- D. serious all the time. Denisa Boudreau, Moneton, N.- B., Canada The problem with your letter is it reached the wrong person, since I never said Trapper John was stupid. I dont think it is overly interesting, but it is a notch better than lots that is on. Its not a remake of M.A.S.H. at all, it merely took a character from that series and put him in today. Pernell Roberts is nothing like Wayne Rogers either, so some bite is missing. And I dont do operations or windows. TV HISTORY Please tell me if Gary Lockwood was ever on a TV series.
