YMMV / Trapper John, M.D.

Go To

  • Ho Yay: Like Trapper with Hawkeye before him, Trapper and Gonzo seem... quite close. It's even Played for Laughs in "Straight and Narrow" when the high-profile case of a gay patient has Slocum and Stanley paranoid that members of their own staff might be gay, a belief which Gonzo almost seems to encourage.
    Slocum: Now, if either of you two get mixed up in this mess—
    Gonzo: Now, Arnold, why would we get involved with a mess like that? [taking Trapper by the arm] Come on, Trapper, let's go home.
  • Retroactive Recognition:
    • Broadway fans might recognize Jackpot as a young Brian Stokes Mitchell, though at the time he was known professionally simply as Brian Mitchell.
    • Semi-regular cast member Jessica Walter was already a well-established actress when the series premiered, but she's likely best known to modern audiences as Lucille Bluth.
    • The poor little rich girl in "Girl Under Glass" went on be Katherine Howser.
    • The 17-year-old intern in Season 2 episode "Brain Child" went on to be Alex P. Keaton (along with several other characters).
