This was not a spinoff of the tv series M*A*S*H, nor was it based on the movie. Producers were further exploiting rights to the Trapper John character from the novels and could not refer to stories created for the tv series or movie, which they did not have rights to. It was not set in the same universe as either the tv series or movie.
