MASHing The Shows Together

(My dad and I have a number of series that we watch together. Tuesday nights are ‘The Walking Dead’, ‘MASH’, and ‘Bates Motel,’ and we rotate between them depending on what we feel like. We’re partway through season four of ‘The Walking Dead,’ and just completed a particularly depressing episode.)

Me: *feeling disheartened* “Can we watch an episode of MASH now?”

Dad: “You want to watch a MASH? We can do that.”

Me: “Awesome. I need to see something more… lighthearted.”

Dad: “Lighthearted? The war in Korea is more lighthearted?”

Me: “Well, technically no, but it is a comedy…”

Dad: “I’m feeling sad! I know! I’ll watch some Korean War! That’ll cheer me up!”

Me: “Okay, you’ve made your point. Now, please shut up.”
