WILL AMOUNT TO NOTHING IN LIFE.



Until like season 7 or 8. And even then, there are good episodes in the bad seasons, mainly because Charles is cool.

Alan Alda was cool as Hawkeye til he got til Whiney. Good thing Trapper John left when he did or they would have made him a sad sack like BJ was.

Still. MASH was pretty cool.

The chicken was a baby. The baby was a chicken.

Where does Columbo fit into this equation? Because I love it too, and am only 28. Am I prematurely old?

Yes, we have both become prematurely old.

I was too young to be a hipster when I started watching MASH. Unless 5 year olds can be hipsters. If they can, then I guess you got me and I apologize for being flippant about opinions on old TV.

A 70s era sitcom set in a war hospital on the frontlines of a war is basically the least funny premise for a tv show imaginable.

Hurry someone adapt Johnny Got His Gun into a hilarious multicam live audience sitcom. It'll be a hit with mash fans

I'm sorry, but the idea of a Johnny Got His Gun sitcom is legit hilarious. It'd basically be a radio show broadcast on TV.
