M*A*S*H isn't a family sitcom.  ???
Yes, because every situation on Full House was suitable for toddlers to watch.

If your issue is with how M.A.S.H. got rather preachy near the end (arguably taking away a bit of the comedy edge in the process), dude, several sitcoms got anvilicious as well.

Full House is more or less the only reason I'll watch ABC Family.  They have a countdown to a countdown.  wtf?

They what?

We should talk about That '70s show too. And while we're at it, the awesomeness of Leo and Tommy Chong!

It isn't a family sitcom because it isn't about a family, HNS.  :P

Hey, I love M*A*S*H!

Roseane is pretty funny. The only FAMILY sitcom I'll at least listen to while I'm doing something else.

Who doesn't love M*A*S*H? I'm just saying, it's like saying Dumbo is an anime movie. The same basic medium, but the two are in seperate categories.

I never really got into Full House. It was...too retro for my tastes back then.

Whocares, are you aware that people not related by blood can form bonds that are family-like in nature?  If you can sit there and tell me that the main cast of M.A.S.H. hadn't grown into a family by the end of the series, I have lost all faith in you.

Full House, a series set in the late 1980's/early 1990's, was too retro in the late 1980's/early 1990's?

Yeah, that is really, really odd, thinking it was too retro just when it came out.
