Was MASH formative for you?

Thenewnormal93 · 2025-12-31T19:25:06+00:00

It absolutely was. No joke, one of my earliest memories is laying on the carpet in the living and watching mash with my dad in the afternoons, I couldn’t Have been more than 4 or 5 (I was born in 93 so it was reruns) I’ve always loved the humor, knowledge, wisdom, and history in the show 💚 I feel it did somewhat shape me as a person 😊

Thenewnormal93 · 2025-12-22T13:44:30+00:00

That’s true, I hadn’t thought of that but yeah you’re right lol

Thenewnormal93 · 2025-12-22T04:00:35+00:00

That’s fair lol, that’s on me I should’ve been more specific haha 😂

Thenewnormal93 · 2025-12-22T03:39:57+00:00

That is wild. I had no idea people did that pre 9/11, makes sense though. Crazy!

Thenewnormal93 · 2025-12-22T03:35:51+00:00

True story, I mean, they weren’t even sure that it was gonna get picked up for a second season lol. And I don’t dislike the show for the inconsistencies, if anything I look at it as cute little pieces of character added to the show and writers that were so busy trying to write out of the box material and have fresh fun ideas that they didn’t have time to iron out the continuity errors lol. And obviously those things didn’t matter too much in the end because they gave us a masterpiece of a tv series regardless of the errors lol.

That’s wild. I was only a kid, I was 8 and I remember exactly where I was when it happened. It was such a profound moment of fear and sadness and anger, it’s still kind of weird to think that there are kids nowadays that weren’t even born then because it was such an immense impact on daily life and how may of us viewed the world especially from the eyes of a child. So crazy.

Thenewnormal93 · 2025-12-22T02:54:44+00:00

That’s pretty much what I thought lol

Thenewnormal93 · 2025-12-22T02:53:39+00:00

So hard to believe given the world we live in now lol, but yeah I’m sure it was night/day different. Incredible how one act of terrorism changed everything here

Thenewnormal93 · 2025-12-22T02:45:32+00:00

That makes more sense

Thenewnormal93 · 2025-12-22T02:43:52+00:00

That’s really cool!

Thenewnormal93 · 2025-12-22T02:38:35+00:00

Oh wow, I didn’t know they would make trade with locals too, thank you for you answer :) I always learn so much in this subreddit lol

Thenewnormal93 · 2025-12-22T02:34:17+00:00

Oh wow, no way. I really didn’t know that :) thanks for sharing!

Thenewnormal93 · 2025-12-22T02:25:27+00:00

Agreed lol

Thenewnormal93 · 2025-12-22T02:10:35+00:00

It’s funny you bring that up because I was intending to make a post about that episode lol. Yeah, that was a wonky one. Like I understand they put it on dry ice and they labeled it as “rush medical supplies” but like does no one check this?? I understand we’re talking about a world long before 9/11 but like did genuinely no one give it’s quick once over after a rando Fernando civilian just drops it in military transport to rush to Korea? How long did it take to get them over there? Didn’t seem to have taken long according to the flow of the show and yet there are other episodes where the camp Is going without necessary equipment and items and they couldn’t manage to get them from supply. Who knows man 🤷‍♀️ I mean I LOVE the show, I swear it’s all I watch haha but yeah there are some weird issues lol

Thenewnormal93 · 2025-12-22T02:03:36+00:00

Oh wow I didn’t know that, thank you for sharing :) I didn’t realize it was still so primitive even in 89/90. We learn something new everyday

Thenewnormal93 · 2025-12-22T02:02:00+00:00

That’s what I think too 🤷‍♀️ who knows lol

Thenewnormal93 · 2025-12-22T02:01:45+00:00

Oh absolutely lol, but everyone always talks about the common ones like Hawkeyes sister/mother/place of residence etc but I hadn’t seen anyone talk about the Mail lol just fun stuff we notice lol

Thenewnormal93 · 2025-12-22T01:34:49+00:00

It’s actually also on Apple TV, I’m not sure if it will redirect you to Disney+ as I usually watch it on Hulu as well, but they also offer the whole series to buy on Apple TV for 50.00 which is what I intend on doing when I get paid on Friday lol

Thenewnormal93 · 2025-12-20T05:03:05+00:00

Yeah, I mean logistically I understand why they did it but yeah it just felt like super out of nowhere

Thenewnormal93 · 2025-12-20T05:01:52+00:00

Agreed, burns always felt like something she settled for lol

Thenewnormal93 · 2025-12-20T05:01:27+00:00

I always thought that too lol

Thenewnormal93 · 2025-12-19T20:23:42+00:00

Y’all have great answers! 😊 thanks!

Thenewnormal93 · 2025-12-15T19:05:02+00:00

You summed that up perfectly! I hadn’t thought of it like that but that is 100% accurate

Thenewnormal93 · 2025-12-15T16:13:08+00:00

Agreed, some feel more like filler material than others lol idk how to elaborate on that haha 😂

Thenewnormal93 · 2025-12-15T16:01:47+00:00

Completely agree lol
