..... I would be what you would consider an "old soul".... I'd come home from school, watch the usual Simpsons and then King of The Hill, but every night, from early middle school through high school, and even in to my 20's, I watched MASH, and then Cheers.
Every. Single. Night.
MASH honestly has probably shaped my personality and understanding of life more than anything else including music. Yes MASH is a comedy, but their serious episodes on things like PTSD (Which back then wasn't PTSD.. it wasn't even a thing..), depression, suicide, and death, even at an early age, made me who I am today.
MASH, in my opinion is *THE* greatest television shows ever made, even better than anything recently (GoT, Breaking Bad, Walking Dead, etc). Even to this day, if I see MASH on, no matter how many times I've seen the episode or if anything else is on, I'll watch it over anything.
But I also enjoyed the old cartoons.. Popeye, Tom and Jerry, etc.
Life lessons taught through an old TV show. Crazy.
