M*A*S*H (1972–1983)
2/10
M*A*S*H is a show that has not aged well
10 May 2023
This supposed "comedy" lacks both humor and heart, and instead relies on cheap jokes and tasteless humor that has not aged well.

The characters in this show are completely one-dimensional and uninspired. The cast is quite forgettable, with their personalities consisting of little more than stereotypes. They all feel like caricatures instead of fully fleshed-out characters.

The show's attempts at humor are cringe-worthy at best and downright offensive at worst. The writers seem to think that racist and sexist jokes are the height of comedy, with numerous gags about the Korean people and women being inferior to men. Even when the show tries to tackle serious issues, such as the horrors of war and the effects it has on soldiers, it falls short. The show's attempts at drama often come across as shallow and insincere, with the characters quickly bouncing back from even the most traumatic experiences.

The laugh track feels forced and artificial, with the audience seemingly laughing at every single thing, regardless of how unfunny it actually is. Furthermore, the show's pacing is incredibly slow, with long stretches of dialogue that feel like filler. Full of tasteless humor and nothing else.
