Wow, I'm old!? I started watching MASH about 1980 or so. I was only 9 then, but my older brother LOVED the show. So much so that in Boy Scouts, we created the MASH patrol. While other kids were in the wolf, or roadrunner, or some other patrol, we actually called ourselves the MASH patrol. We even had MASH patches that my dad bought for all of us, sewn onto the sholders of our uniforms where the patrol patch was supposed to go.

I still to this day get teary eyed watching the final episode.  I'll always remember MASH.

Me too, and it's still the most watched series finale.

Who remembers these? I used to see them on shelves, but the odd military scale made me stay away from them. And these are not mine, just a pic of the webs.

One of my all time favorite shows. Still watch it every night while I'm having supper!

One of my favorite shows and the main reason I subscribed to Hulu, because I heard a year before they got it that they were going to stream all seasons after it was pulled from Netflix.

Today is also the 75th birthday of the US Air Force. 

And the 52nd anniversary of Jimi Hendrix's death. 

And the 38th anniversary of the day I quite drinking.

Here Mash is on METV  ( free with antenna ) every night last I checked. Not home at the time it is on so I don't know if it still is.  I can watch that show every time I see it on. Great Show.

I can get it on Hulu. Good thing, because I wore out my DVDs...twice.

@Snake45 strong work on all. Esp sobriety. 
Hope y’all better.

That was a great show. I still catch on Me TV also. It beats the hell out of the Kardashians or whatever BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH they got going now.

MASH is my favorite show of all time. I've watched it so many times I can recite entire episodes. And praise be to the Gods that you can turn off that annoying laugh track on the DVD sets.

Great show,can’t believe it’s been 50 years.It’s also the 50th anniversary this year of The Godfather.
