I stayed up and watched it. No lie, I think that's why I didn't enlist after graduation in 2002. That recruiter couldn't lie to me after watching this show. I didn't want to end up subservient to some Major Burns for 4 years.
I always heard this theme coming from the living room as I was tucked into bed with a breeze blowing through the opened windows. Man, I miss those days!
I remember my dad watching MASH at night. I would watch with him even though I didn’t know what was going on. I was young. I would wait for it to finish so he could take me to bed. I get choked up every time I see it because it brings back those memories. He was a veteran by the way.
I watched it with my dad a lot who died when I was 14...it does indeed bring back memories, extremely good and fond ones. It brings me tears of joy and also sadness. But overall just happiness. I really need to watch this show again. Start to finish. It was my dad's favorite show.
Listening to this almost makes me cry cause it takes me back to the late 70s and early 80s as a kid. Wishing I could go back in time to a simpler time before technology completely took over our lives & felt safer & more optimistic in general. Everything was awesome then. That theme song was always there when I was a kid
Same here..watching then I could feel my innocence slipping away as my brother got home from bam in 1971. The 70s shows took hard topics and mocked them and healed them with comedy. All in the family mash Jefferson's come to mind. The 60s were turbulent dividing times. comedy common ground was the healer
Same thing here. Even as an elementary age kid, I would watch this because my Dad watched it while he ate his dinner on a TV tray with a can of Budweiser. Still one of the best TV shows ever to me. I was very young but I understood M.A.S.H. It was funny one moment, well, lots of moments, and then it could just turn dark and heavy at the drop of a dime. My Dad is a USMC Vietnam vet, decorated with a Purple Heart because he took shrapnel in his leg and ankle from a mortar. He always told me he didn’t feel like he deserved it because of the horrible injuries he saw his fellow marine’s sustain that were worse than his. When the dark stuff would happen on M.A.S.H. while we watched, I remember seeing a vacant look in his eyes and it would be quiet in the room. It made me nervous and feel bad for my Dad. I could feel the energy change in the room. Anyway, anytime I hear that theme song it puts a lump in my throat.
Same with me Morris! My Lord I miss those days. Dinner on the table with that song playing in the living room. Hoping your junior High girlfriend calls you back so you can stretch the phone cord into you bedroom and play her Timmy T, on a cassette tape before bed. Take me back man, and leave me there forever!
This song here is actually quite sentimental to me. My parents used to love this show-- when I lived around where I was born, I'd often see them watching this show if they weren't busy. It reminds me of a frame of mind during my youth-- a frame of mind where I didn't look at everything I did with the lens of extreme self-criticism like I do now. Sometimes, I hope that, even if it's for just one day, I could return to that state of innocence and optimism.
This is a most touching statement. It made me tear up. What a marvel the human experience is. Glad we crossed paths stranger. Wish you health and wealth
For almost the entirety of my middle school and high school years, I’d get up early in the morning and eat breakfast. My Dad would be up watching this show every morning. So getting up in the morning, I’d hear this theme song over and over.
This, Andy griffin, and on the rare occasion, night rider. Dang, i miss being a younger kid, I’m not that old, or Star Trek. Thank you for making these memories come back.
As a child I didn't understand that this was a show about army doctors during the Korean War saving wounded infantryman. I thought it was "Vietnam or something" and it was just a comedy. Didn't get why some episodes were so serious and lacked a laugh track. Only when I got older I realized this is based off of a true wartime and that there was sometimes deeper meaning in the show.
I thought the same a year ago,I'm 14 at the very moment, and I hate being called out "kiddo " in the comments, I am very mature for my age...and understood the deepnes of the actual series
Was nearly in tears re-watching this again, more of the fact it just gives you sweet vibes of the good ol days of the 70s and 80s… What I’d do to go back.
i would always hear this in my grandpas room and i remembered every note to it but never knew what it was called. he passed away in august of 2019 and i just now happened to randomly come across this
Used to watch this with my grandparents. I'd sit on their comfy sofa for hours binging and laughing with them about all of the jokes. I really had the best of times with them. This show will always remind me of that
I remember being a child in the 90s fresh out of the bathtub with my Pjs on. My bro and I walking towards our beds as this song played. It was so relaxing to listen to. The memories are priceless. Sometimes I miss being a kid.
We truly did grow up in the Golden Age of Television. I was born 73 and was an 80s kid too. So happy that We can still enjoy these shows on youtube and that new generations can also enjoy them.
I may not be a 2000’s kid or some thing earlier, im a 2010’s. But just watching this show with its calming yet somber theme tune makes me feel nostalgia to a time ive never experienced, this show has a special place in my heart.
Happy 50th Anniversary to one of the greatest comedy-dramas on Television! It’s a reason why I’m starting to watch this show for the first time! (September 17, 1972-September 17, 2022)
After college & back at my parents', sometimes I would wake up in the middle of the night and watch cartoons. With my grandfather listening to his Spanish radio at 4AM on the other side of my wall, the MASH theme song coming on my TV signified that the cartoons were over & I had stayed up too late. It takes me back to a time when I still believed in finding love. This song feels nostalgic and somber to me. It is now 12 years later and my grandfather is gone. I am living far away and all alone. I don't believe anymore. Not everyone finds someone. But this song takes me back to a more optimistic time, a more hopeful time when I still believed.
Agreed with @Lightningman_EXE. Dating sites, your local bar, school, wherever. Most importantly, while validation from someone else is good/important (social connections in general are), dont rely on it; rely on yourself validating YOURSELF. Be your own lover and critique and strive to be a better person FOR YOU. Stay Hard.
You wrote this a while ago, so I hope you are in a better place. But I just want you to know, just really know, that it will one day get better. It really always gets better. Sometimes life goes downwards, but without fail, it will get better. Eventually. Patience and resilience, hopefully people you care for and care for you getting you through the worst of it. But it inevitably gets better, you just need the hindsight of years to see it. So don't ever, ever give up. A solemn promise that it will get better. One day, so just believe in you and know that you are meant to be here. It will get better. Hang in there.
Omg I swear this and “Alo Alo” theme tunes get me teared up every time I hear them , just brings instant memories of watching these two shows with my grandparents rip ❤️😭
i will always love this theme. Every time i hear this instrumental, i am a toddler in the late 80s, barely awake and being soothed by the brass. i feel the same way about the theme for “The Honeymooners”. There was always something very comforting about seeing Jackie Gleason’s caricature in the full moon in the middle of the night.
i was in my high school psychology class in 2018 (senior year) and we were watching a recent documentary and Alan Alda was the host. i couldnt watch it like the rest of the class
I'm old - but not old enough to love this show this much. My friends would joke about hearing this and running out the door. I would pretend to fall asleep after the news as a tiny kid so I could watch without my grandma goofing on me about it.
When I was a kid I would sneak out into the living room to watch this show. I never quite understood what it was about but I loved the intro song. It’s so nostalgic.
Nothing makes fall asleep faster than this theme song as an adult. Because as a child in the 80's if you heard it twice. You were gonna have a hot butt for being up too late.
This brings back memories lol. I'm almost tearing up from the nostalgic rush this brings me. I've still never actually watched this show. I was a kid in the early 00s and that's when they were showing the reruns of M*A*S*H. I remember hearing this and knowing it was time to go to bed. It made me feel so bored (and a little sad for some reason)! It was like a lullaby for me 😂 Ugh I wish I could go back in time & stay there. Life was great as a kid the early 00s!

8/28/2020 Today my father died and I felt like looking this up for old memories for some reason... As a child , I used to hear this from my bed and knew it was late! I could see his bedroom door cracked open and the light from the TV coming into the room where I was about to sleep and just hear the lull of this opening tune... Miss those days sometimes. I'll see you someday dad....
When this came on I knew it was time to goto sleep. Lol then as I’m sleeping all in the family theme song would play and wake me up with that singing. Haha wow the days of no cable was a time we was forced to watch these shows or sleep
This song brings back Bittersweet memories. A time where there was no care in the world cuz you were to young to know anything about anything but also now remembering friend/family members who use to watch this show, may they REST IN PEACE 🙏❤️ 🕊
Funny how most people from my time (90's-00's) are familiar with the intro but never actually watched the show! To this day I find this intro nostalgic but I've never had a clue of what the show was even about. xD I'm glad it exists though!
Sounds of my youth, when it aired the first time, at grandparent's house in peoples Ohio. Rest in Peace mr. &mrs. Alinder ...Thanks for sharing memory lane
My dad would watch this religiously late at night, I didn't know why, when he passed away in 2009, it comes out that he was a Vietnam Veteran and never told any of us. I went on to serve in Iraq and Afghanistan and coming home I get why, most never know that I once served.
We watched this every time it came on when I was growing up. That song to us meant that the day was done. It's time to relax. Since my dad just passed away, I got one of his guitars and learned the song. Now I'll play it at his memorial and let him know it's time to relax.
best memories as a kid, could smell mums cooking, it was dinner time 20 years later, it would come on, and the speakers would remind us, to get our last brews, before lock up
Love it, brings back fond memories of simple life as a child, beautiful nostalgic feelings. I remember a warm living room as the sunset came came down in our Oakland home and the theme song came on, such a beautiful melody. Thank you!
Oh my god when I was little, I could not STAND this theme song. It made me do the biggest sigh of my life when it was late at night and I just got done watching something interesting.. I'd just be like "UGH 😩" I don't know if anyone else can relate though. I was little, now that I'm older I feel differently since I was in the military
I loved the show MASH, and thought a lot of the actors (especially Mike Farrell and Alan Alda) knew what they were doing and how the show should have been made.
Growing up in the early 2000s with no cable when this show came on at 11pm you knew it was time for bed
out of this world joe lmao I got no cable and I’m watching it
90s too haha good times man
only the ogs remember
I stayed up and watched it.
No lie, I think that's why I didn't enlist after graduation in 2002. That recruiter couldn't lie to me after watching this show. I didn't want to end up subservient to some Major Burns for 4 years.
True 😂😂🤣
I always heard this theme coming from the living room as I was tucked into bed with a breeze blowing through the opened windows. Man, I miss those days!
Me too! If you find a time travel machine to go back to those days, lemme know brother!
THIS COMMENT IS LIFE
Yup
Yeah, if you find a time machine. Bring me with you
For me it was the Cheers or Night Court theme song
I remember my dad watching MASH at night. I would watch with him even though I didn’t know what was going on. I was young. I would wait for it to finish so he could take me to bed. I get choked up every time I see it because it brings back those memories. He was a veteran by the way.
Jonathan Marin Same here dude. Spot on.
My childhood in exact words
Same this was my Dads show for sure and hogans heroes...he was also a vet.
Same for me bro except my gpa. I hear this or in the heat of the night theme and it brings back good memories with my gpa.
Me too bro. I miss my dad and this brings back the hurt of loss
I never watched this show very much but anytime I’d walk into my grandparents house you could bet this was on, brings back old memories.
I watched it with my dad a lot who died when I was 14...it does indeed bring back memories, extremely good and fond ones. It brings me tears of joy and also sadness. But overall just happiness. I really need to watch this show again. Start to finish. It was my dad's favorite show.

Hell Yeah bro. Im used the same!
When I was a kid I knew it was time to go to bed when mash r star trek came in
in Australia it was afternoon , sun was going down and was about dinner time
Sooo funny and true, I would get so sleepy and run from the tv whenever MASH came on
as soon as mash came on the tv was off or I gave the remote to my dad
@@cedricmccoy i'd probably just sit there and continue to watch it.
Me too good days
You never look at this song the same way again after learning what its titled and the lyrics.
Agreed. Just listened to the actual song.
Very fitting for the setting of the show though, a field hospital where you've likely lost limbs, friends, and the will to live
@@justinfox2310 agreed as well
YE!
It just reminds me of the sacrifice the men undertook in Korea!
I used to smile and whistle along.....

My Uncle served in Korea!
MY friends Dad DIED IN VIETNAM!
FOR ME, THE NAVY, JROTC, WAS A JOKE!
Every time i watch this, i also thought it was Vietnam to
You might be mixing up two different war shows. 'Hogan's Heroes' was about war too, and it was more comedy based.
I thought the same a year ago,I'm 14 at the very moment, and I hate being called out "kiddo " in the comments, I am very mature for my age...and understood the deepnes of the actual series
When I was a kid, this show made me tired.
When I was an adult, I watched the show from start to finish.
Early 2000s, I remember hurrying off the school bus to get home and watch reruns of this show and this theme is kind of a comfort song
Wake up in the middle of the night, this plays on tv
You know it's time to go to sleep when the song starts playing 😂😂
@@tupzc24 on me lol
@@tupzc24 that's what my mom said. When she was growing up she knew she was up way too late when M*A*S*H came on the T.V. she hates I love the show.
Was nearly in tears re-watching this again, more of the fact it just gives you sweet vibes of the good ol days of the 70s and 80s… What I’d do to go back.
Good times!
When this came on it was time for bed! Such apart of my childhood and I never watched it
this calms me down because it reminds me of my dad :(
Omggggggg it reminds me of my dad tooo! Rest in peace daddy! 💕🙏🏼💕🙏🏼
It reminds me of mine too. Little things like this I didn’t realize I’d miss so much about him.
Same here. My Dad loved this show.
Same here ❤
This was pretty much a quintessential Dad show for a lot of us!
I shed a tear everytime I hear this song. Reminder of when I was young.
Without a doubt one of the best shows ever made
Yes
Lol
Agree 100%
I'm 36 and to this day I randomly start humming this theme song every now and again.
i would always hear this in my grandpas room and i remembered every note to it but never knew what it was called. he passed away in august of 2019 and i just now happened to randomly come across this
Same here my grandpa used to watch this with me and I had absolutely no clue what was going on back then, he passed away in October of 2019
My dad passed away 2018 and he would always have this show on
Used to watch this with my grandparents. I'd sit on their comfy sofa for hours binging and laughing with them about all of the jokes. I really had the best of times with them. This show will always remind me of that
what happened to them
@@ZombieZifiction probably what happens to grandparents
This theme puts a lump in my throat and a heaviness in my heart ❤️ i yearn for the 70s
10:00 PM
My mother hears the theme:
*turn the tv off and take yo @$$ to bed*
414MrMilwaukee lmaoooo
lmfao sounds about right
😆 🤣
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
I remember being a child in the 90s fresh out of the bathtub with my Pjs on. My bro and I walking towards our beds as this song played. It was so relaxing to listen to. The memories are priceless. Sometimes I miss being a kid.
I always watched the intro to hear the song and then changed the channel.
Lmaooo right 😂😂😂 as child looking for the next channel to watch cartoons
Me too
Growing up as an 80s kid, my parents in the living room with this theme song strumming night after night. The feels :)

I love this show sooo much! It mixes just the right amount of humor with sadness.
This used to play at 7pm everyday when I was growing up. Brings me nostalgia
Exactly! Always around the time mom was finishing up dinner and had to get homework done. Wish I could go back!
This was my grandma's favorite show, and I am in the process of accepting that she is going to go to heaven. She won't be in pain anymore.
I'm so sorry
🙏🏽❤️
So she already has her ticket eh....

Best theme song and show to fall asleep easy. It was a good show but always helped me sleep lol
Listen to the version with the lyrics.
Suicide is Painless. Depressing as hell.
@@justinfox2310 I've seen that said in a few comments. Idk if I wanna know lol

70s & 80s Kids KNEW it was lights out when THIS THEME SONG came on! #nightyNight 😳😂😂😂
Hahaha! Yep!
Had to replay this about 5 times. Kept falling asleep like I was 10 years old again 😂
Probably one of the greatest shows ever to grace the television. In the day and age of repeats, I don’t mind having this on repeat
I remember watching this with my parents, especially my dad. I think it reminded him of his military days. Memories ❤️
I used to watch this when I was 5, I am now 13 and this theme song still brings me joy.
You are wise beyond your years my young old soul friend! Don’t let this cold world ever steal that from you! God bless! 🙏🏼
You are awesome.
Yea Ok I bet still strokin to hot lips eh......
This theme song n Cheers theme song always tear me up now. Miss the good ol days
I love M*A*S*H to me and my grandad watch it all the time
Trainchaser chaser me and my dad watch this.
Trainchaser chaser same
Look up the version of this song with Lyrics it will shock you
The line suicide is painless
It won't shock me, I have known the lyrics since I was 12 years old. Great thing, it was written by a teenager, but it's really genial.
I like the part where they say, "Suicide is painless."
It's not if you've seen the movie and understand the character it was written for.
I know. Crazy, isn't it???
This would always wake me up and I would hum along and go back to sleep 💤. 90s memory 😍
When my mom or I heard this theme at 10:30 or 11 p.m. as youngsters, it was time to go to beddy-bye!!!
Rest in peace, Johnny Mandel
A musical theme that's warm in our hearts
I'm old - but not old enough to love this show this much. My friends would joke about hearing this and running out the door. I would pretend to fall asleep after the news as a tiny kid so I could watch without my grandma goofing on me about it.

that and chips
I never really watched this but my grandfather loved it. It’s a great theme song.
Welp. It's time for bed.

Bring back memories of watching it Whit my uncle an talking about choppers before he died
Nothing makes fall asleep faster than this theme song as an adult. Because as a child in the 80's if you heard it twice. You were gonna have a hot butt for being up too late.

Absolutely beautiful. I love mash theme. So relaxing to the ears and mind.
Just don't look up the lyrics or title
This is one of the best shows I have ever watched.

Grew up as a teen.Ran home every night to watch...thankyou all for the memories.
I grew up with my dad having all the seasons on DVD I love this show even if I don’t get all the references lol
I remember catching a bunch of reruns out of the corner of my eye when I used to stay over at my grandma's place years ago. Brings back good times. 😊
Who's still remembering this theme in August 2020? TRUE, Classic!
When this came on I knew it was time to goto sleep. Lol then as I’m sleeping all in the family theme song would play and wake me up with that singing. Haha wow the days of no cable was a time we was forced to watch these shows or sleep
Love it, this is the theme they used for seasons 1 and 2
This song brings back Bittersweet memories. A time where there was no care in the world cuz you were to young to know anything about anything but also now remembering friend/family members who use to watch this show, may they REST IN PEACE 🙏❤️ 🕊

Growing up in the early 90s my mon would watch show and cook dinner everytime I hear this theme song I can smell her cooking
I found this show on hulu around a year ago, and it is a contender for faveorite show. I watch it regularly, again and again.
i was born in 2002 and even i can say that this may have been the best TV show ever produced
Taxi was the best show ever
Funny how most people from my time (90's-00's) are familiar with the intro but never actually watched the show! To this day I find this intro nostalgic but I've never had a clue of what the show was even about. xD I'm glad it exists though!
If you’re an 80s baby you are indeed awesome.
Sounds of my youth, when it aired the first time, at grandparent's house in peoples Ohio. Rest in Peace mr. &mrs. Alinder ...Thanks for sharing memory lane
Reminds me of my dad. Cuz we watched this together when i was very little
Me too i hear this when I used to lived with my favorite uncle
@@josephgarcia6102 nice bro!!
My dad would watch this religiously late at night, I didn't know why, when he passed away in 2009, it comes out that he was a Vietnam Veteran and never told any of us. I went on to serve in Iraq and Afghanistan and coming home I get why, most never know that I once served.
Im only 12 and going to be 13 this is my favorite show and that is because of my grandparents
Robert Tardy 11 rock on little dude
@@patrickmccarthy1900 I feel you man. I'm 14 and I love this show because of my family
We watched this every time it came on when I was growing up. That song to us meant that the day was done. It's time to relax. Since my dad just passed away, I got one of his guitars and learned the song. Now I'll play it at his memorial and let him know it's time to relax.
Never made it passed the intro of the song, tv went off right after the Mash sign appeared lol
Very powerful show. I still watch it
best memories as a kid, could smell mums cooking, it was dinner time
20 years later, it would come on, and the speakers would remind us, to get our last brews, before lock up
This song conveys such pain and dreariness. Brilliant scoring.
I used to watch this with my Grandpa whenever I visited him. Rest easy grandpa sorry I didn’t get to visit you one last time
My grandma used to watch this whenever this came on i knew it was my bedtime lol as a kid
Man my grandpa would always watch this at 7pm on MeTV man it reminds me of him R.I.P.
Lol this show and especially the theme song never fail to crack me up! One of the best comedy’s ever!
Love it, brings back fond memories of simple life as a child, beautiful nostalgic feelings. I remember a warm living room as the sunset came came down in our Oakland home and the theme song came on, such a beautiful melody. Thank you!
Oh my god when I was little, I could not STAND this theme song. It made me do the biggest sigh of my life when it was late at night and I just got done watching something interesting.. I'd just be like "UGH 😩"
I don't know if anyone else can relate though. I was little, now that I'm older I feel differently since I was in the military
Me too. Very boring show
Also annoying horrible sound to this theme song
@@behindthen0thing525 NOOOOOOOOOOO
@@verbinatorkhanna2635 yes
I loved the show MASH, and thought a lot of the actors (especially Mike Farrell and Alan Alda) knew what they were doing and how the show should have been made.
My Grandmother used to watch this all the time. R.I.P
Show of every decade. I grew up watching this in the 90s. Binged it few years back. Obsoletely love it.
Definitely knew it was time for bed when this ish came on 😂😂😂😂
