54 Years Later, This Stellar War Series Masterpiece Is Getting Better With Age

It has arguably never been more difficult to place a TV show in singular genre than now, with shows like Ted Lassoand Hacks defying labels. The concept of the dramedy has been embraced to such a degree that even Collider has differing opinions on whether The Bear is more comedy than drama, or vice versa. But one of American television's all-time classic series was resisting the genre tag long before the golden age of television. 54 years before, in fact, at any one time, this series could be a laugh-out-loud comedy, a medical procedural, and a heartbreaking drama. Set during a war that lasted only three years compared to the eleven years the series was on air, M*A*S*H is still worth the binge-watch over a half-century after it premiered.
