The rise of specific genre in recent years makes it difficult to get past MASH‘s most inaccurate detail about the Korean War. Despite being released during the early ’70s, creator Larry Gelbart decided to stick with Richard Hooker’s 1968 novel MASH: A Novel About Three Army Doctors for the CBS show’s backdrop. There have been theories that MASH was a commentary on the divisive Vietnam War, which was at its tail end during the medical comedy/drama’s first year, although there is no confirmation about this. Regardless, however, its storytelling remained and remains ever-relevant.
