W*A*L*T*E*R was a pilot for a spin-off of M*A*S*H made in 1984 that was never picked up. It starred Gary Burghoff.

The show related the adventures of Corporal Walter (Radar) O'Reilly after he had returned home from the Korean War. The woman he had romanced during his final appearance on M*A*S*H was nowhere to be found. More importantly, he was no longer calling himself "Radar" and he had moved away from Iowa (his mother and uncle having died). Taking root in St. Louis, Missouri, he had become perhaps the world's gentlest police officer.

Difficulties in showing

Since the pilot was never picked up by CBS as a series, it was shown as a "CBS Special Presentation" in July of 1984. It was shown once in the eastern part of the United States, but pre-empted on the West Coast by CBS News coverage of the Democratic National Convention. This is the only known broadcast of the pilot.

Timeline

The episode takes place after the series finale of M*A*S*H, and a two part guest appearance on AfterMASH, in which Radar was forced to leave the family farm.
