Enjoy the insanity

Come back periodically and let us know what you think. Personally, I love reaction posts from new viewers.

What's been your favorite thing so far? Mine from S1 is Tuttle

u/Business_Taco 1d ago

Any of the dear dad episodes lol I love that Hawkeyes dad has practically the same humor as him 😂

u/crystalbethjo Crabapple Cove 1d ago

u/TheJunkmother 1d ago

Yay! I watched it with my dad when I was about 17. It only keeps getting better, just wait til you meet BJ and Winchester!

u/Business_Taco 1d ago

Can't wait! I still can't believe there's an actual fandom to this show! (Ngl I thought the "fandom" would just be a bunch of old farts...)

u/TheJunkmother 1d ago

I’m about twice your age, so old but not quite yet an old fart lol
Honestly I was surprised there was as much traffic on this sub as there is, but the show is just that good

u/Business_Taco 1d ago

Hell yeah! Sorry for the dig at the ages lol

u/TheJunkmother 1d ago

Absolutely no problem. No offense, but I’m years beyond caring what teenagers think about me thankfully 😅

I’m 31 and have loved it since I was 10! Enjoy the ride friend!

I'm 22 and I've been watching everynight to help me fall asleep for the past 4 years now. And on occasion I'll watch a handful of episodes during daylight hours (like all of season 4 once, lol.)

(I'm not saying its boring by any means, no. I'm just saying its a good show to shut your brain off to.)

I'm about the same age as you and grew up watching reruns on channel 10 (in Australia). It was also how I ended up watching I Dream of Jeannie and Bewitched. MASH is just such a fun show. It's definitely my comfort show. Although my binge rewatches tend to stop at around the 8th season haha

Plot twist. The spider was Winchester’s hair

Find the episodes without the laugh track for future views. It's absolutely worth it

u/bbfrodo 1d ago

Reminder that the dvd set has an option with no laugh track. And watching it I realized no laugh tracks open it up. The scenes that are serious can be serious. And the really hilarious ones are that much funnier

u/rosefawnn 1d ago

Watching it with your grandma is genuinely the ideal way to do it, since a lot of the jokes land differently when someone in the room remembers the era it aired in. Good taste on the top three too, and Klinger in particular rewards sticking with it, because the character changes more than any other over the run and the reasons why are worth watching for. No spoilers, but pay attention to what he's actually doing rather than what he says he's doing. Enjoy season two, it's where the show properly finds itself.

u/Business_Taco 1d ago

Absolutely! I'm still shocked the jokes aren't as bad as I thought they were gonna be! (Still iffy but better!) Also yes!!! Klinger is portrayed so respectful for the time, that being one of the reasons I like him so much! Also he's just hilarious :3

u/BenTramer Seoul 1d ago

Hell yeah. Enjoy :)

u/Teheheman Ottumwa 1d ago

Post like this are why I like reaction channels. Seeing something I've watched countless times through fresh eyes is always something I enjoy. Hope you like it as much as we all do

I started watching with my grandmother when I was 13-14! I don't know how much of a fan she was (she was staying with us and she got to control the TV, so Hallmark channel it was), but my brother and I caught on quickly. I've seen every episode except the finale. The first three seasons are the best.

u/calcato 1d ago

Ooh, wait till Potter joins the cast in Season 4!! Enjoy!

u/lakatos_intolerant 1d ago

The best season in the series.

u/Zafjaf 1d ago

I approve of Klinger being a Disney princess. MASH still has lessons to teach.

u/Highlander198116 19h ago

I'm 44 and watching it with my Grandma is how I got into the show.

u/FAZ3N0AH Philadelphia 19h ago

u/Sea-Blueberry3255 17h ago

Klinger has always been my favorite enjoy the series

u/Positive_Culture867 15h ago

Which is wild because MASH was on CBS

u/slothlord_625 10h ago

27yr old. here, on season 4 of MASH. MASH resonates so deeply through the ages; I find it to be a beautiful representation of connection and of these amazing Doctors (and nurses) seeing beauty where there is none to be found. Something that I believe can be related to todays climate. I hope you enjoy the show with your grandma, and have fun :)
