comment
Trapper John, M.D. is an American Medical Drama television series that ran on CBS. Legally, it is considered a Spin-Off of the film M*A*S*H (as opposed to the series of the same name), set in what was then the present day.The series follows the title character (Pernell Roberts), a lovable surgeon who runs the San Francisco Memorial Hospital some 25 years after his time in the military. Working with Trapper is an aspiring young Physician named Dr. George Alonzo Gates (Gregory Harrison), usually referred to as "Gonzo", who has a lot in common with Trapper, having also served in a MASH unit (albeit during the later part of The Vietnam War).The show ran for seven seasons, from September 23, 1979, to September 4, 1986; as such, Roberts played the character more than twice as long as had Wayne Rogers (1972–75) on the M*A*S*H TV series.The show also starred Charles Siebert, Madge Sinclair, and Brian Mitchell.

Belly Dancer: In "The Surrogate", Trapper is shown to have admitted a sheik of a desert country as one of his patients. Whether it's only for his entertainment or as part of his "rehabilitation", the sultan has a dancer perform in his hospital room until Trapper needs to deal with the sultan's health.

It's a Costume Party, I Swear!: Done near the end of an episode, Dr. Riverside and other staff members are going to a (confirmed) costume party; he's waiting by the elevators, dressed as a Pilgrim-but everyone else is in their usual hospital attire, with no intention of donning costumes...leaving him looking awkwardly out of place, when they all get on to ride downstairs.
