Could This Show Survive Today? Ep. 3 - M*A*S*H

[Mister B. M. Ed.]

In the 3rd installment of this series, we look at one of TV's most celebrated shows.

M*A*S*H (1972-1983, 246 episodes)

Premise: a dramedy about a mobile army hospital unit during the Korean War. (Side note: Obviously, if this show came out now, it'd probably be centered around the Gulf War or the "War on Terror.")

 

[Rubato]

No clue, always turned the channel asap when I heard the MASH theme song

 

[IP360]

It would just b/c it's a military show. They would do special episodes honoring the vets, and other military appreciation things

 

[GOAT]

Bitches love hospital shows.

 

[Shaquille Sunflower]

Any hospital would do well now

 

[Loquacious]

My granny loves this show!

If it came out today exactly as it was when I was a kid it'd still get traction.

MASH was one of my favorite TV shows back inna day.
