[edit] Merge

There seems to be a duplicate of this page at After M*A*S*H. Perhaps these two pages should be merged. --Micpp 06:21, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I removed the following text from After M*A*S*H and made it a redirect. I don't see anything there that isn't in AfterMASH:

After M*A*S*H was a 1983 CBS television series, a short-lived spin-off to the successful M*A*S*H. It featured the characters of Sherman T. Potter (Harry Morgan), Maxwell Q. Klinger (Jamie Farr), and Father John Patrick Francis Mulcahy (William Christopher). After M*A*S*H attempted to continue in the tradition of M*A*S*H to hopefully obtain similar success. Unfortunately, without the performances of the strongest characters from its predecessor and without the balance of the tension created by the war background story, it was generally found to be unmotivated and only weakly interesting. Another spinoff, Trapper John, M.D. (1979-1986), was more successful probably because it did include one of the stronger characters, did not mimic the original so closely, and reached a better balance between humorous and serious content.

[edit] Internal contradiction

Two paragraphs contradict one another. Was Father Mulcahy's deafness cured or never mentioned? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.21.184.95 (talk • contribs) 02:46, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

His deafness was surgically corrected in the pilot. Pat Berry 16:57, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Setting

It's not really clear where it was set. --Jnelson09 01:40, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article has a weird attitude.

This article reads like it was written by an aspiring critic. There's way too much emphasis on the fact that the show didn't succeed like M*A*S*H* did (Duh, it's a spinoff, of course it didn't). The writer even seems to take satisfaction in the show's failure. --63.25.236.17 (talk) 20:48, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
