Movie Night Tonight


The original with Aussie dialogue. No dubbing.

1979.

Backstory is amazing.

TV Series Later

Mash.

Starting with season 1, episode 1.

The episodes were produced by 20th Century Fox Television for the CBS network and aired from September 17, 1972, to February 28, 1983. The series, which covered a three-year military conflict, spanned 251 episodes, including the 2.5 hour finale over 11 seasons.

Me?

  • 1969: graduated from high school.
  • 1973: graduated from college. Mash, first full season, 1972 - 1973.
  • 1977: graduated from medical school. 
  • 1980: completed three years of residency.
  • 1983: first full military tour. Mash, final season ends, 1983.

Amazing, Mash was exactly contemporaneous with my medical training ad first Air Force tour as a physician. I probably did not miss (m)any episodes. 

Hard to believe: Mash takes place in 1950. North Korea -- 75 years of worthlessness. Korean War Armistice signed July 23, 1953.
