Step by Step was my shyt lol

anyway it’s tough to beat Mash, but anytime they had that 8 and 9pm block of sitcoms play then we get to the 10 o’clock show, it was getting turned.. I don’t care what it was lol

I full minute of theme song before they even name the actors

Surprised this wasn't named yet

Because it wasn’t a terrible show

It’s crazy isn’t it?

It’s not something you think about as a kid. And then you grow up and realize everybody else was on the same type of time.



Cartoons? I also dreaded Mash because when that theme song came on, it was literally time for me to go to bed. It had to come on in the 90’s like around 8:30pm/9:00pm. I don’t remember it being played during the day time.

Mash came on at 6pm where I am. It never occurred to me that it came on later in other parts of the country.

And damn, Lassie and Little House on the Prairie are giving me bad flashbacks to the summer of 1990 when I was fukking miserable.
