The Riddle
I was a small screen spin-off from film, not TV,
At least, that is how it was ruled legally.
Still a doctor, but in a place far, far less manic,
Mentoring a guy who lives in the Titanic.
Answer
A lawsuit over the spinoff ruled that Trapper John, M.D. was a spinoff of the movie M*A*S*H, not the TV show. His mentee, a young doctor, lived in a trailer ironically called "the Titanic."
