You are correct and I was wrong. I must have somehow missed that abbreviated second season because it happened shortly after I graduated college and moved across the country. There's also the matter that the show simply wasn't very good, and that perhaps also made it easy to forget that the second season ever existed.

Alan Alda Reunites with 'M*A*S*H' Costar for Show's 50th Anniversary
- Thread starter Mikey Radio
- Start date
AfterMASH was an ill conceived idea. It's curious that Gary Burghoff decided to leave M*A*S*H because he had outgrown the Radar character. He probably needed the money when signed up for AfterMASH. I agree that most M*A*S*H fans don't remember the spin off series at all.
Trapper John MD with Pernell Roberts was a pretty good show however...
I remember AfterMASH, and while they had solid talent, it was just not clicking.
Outside of the first episode, there wasn't any real connection to M*A*S*H. Producers claimed the Trapper John character spun off from the movie version, not the TV series, though in the pilot, photos from the TV series were in Trapper's office.
