MASH: Trapper Actually Said Goodbye To Hawkeye (You Just Missed It)

Trapper John McIntyre actually said goodbye to Benjamin “Hawkeye” Pierce in MASH. Over the years, the legendary sitcom saw its fair share of cast departures — some of them even left the show in a precarious position as they disrupted the cast’s chemistry. That being said, the biggest and most surprising exit from MASH was when Trapper was unexpectedly sent home, leaving the 4077 without being able to give Hawkeye a final hug. The pair had been partners in crime throughout their stint in South Korea, and while Hawkeye was clearly always the primary protagonist of MASH, he wouldn’t have been able to pull off his greatest antics without Trapper.
