It killed me when I realized Winchester was the guy from that one TNG episode with the scientist who commits suicide.

He was also the crazy guy in the first season of Two Guys, A Girl & A Pizza Place, before they retooled the show by adding Nathan Fillion and downplaying the pizzaria.

Huh. Well that explains Pernell Roberts' complete lack of resemblance to Wayne Rogers but believability as an aged Elliot Gould, which is to say it explains everything including why I could never get into it. If I had known, maybe it would have grooved with me. (Not that I didn't like the movie, but if you were expecting a spinoff of the show it really doesn't work. Well now I get it.)

That is pretty interesting, especially as Trapper is actually my favourite character in the MOVIE, but not the show. Wayne Rogers was just very bland and didn't have the screen presence of Alda, or even Farell, but Gould's deadpan delivery and twinkling eyes just make me smile every time I've watched it. (By contrast, I like the show's Hawkeye much more than Sutherland in the movie).

It use to show up on TBS a lot back in the day. Last time I saw it was steaming on Netflix or Prime?

In the UK at least, it's on basically every streaming service anyone sane would have. Amazon, Netflix and I think NowTV as well.

The effects shots, ironically, are probably why Star Trek: TOS and TNG even got it done, because it's a lot easier to argue that HD matters for a sci-fi show with action scenes and SFX than for a sitcom.
