Definitely Entertaining. Of course some episodes are slower than others, but overall a good comedy show. Looking forward to season 2.

Space Force tries but mostly fails to be funny. About 25% of it is funny. The rest is just watchable. I loved the open relationship B-plot that comes out of nowhere for one of the characters, although it wasn't set up or explored well enough. Most of the scripts just needed a bit more workshopping to really work. Almost every joke is just not quite there--but comedy is either funny or it's not, so they don't get half marks. I will say this: when it was funny, it got quite a few guffaws out of me. I've watched a lot of comedy. Almost nothing gets a gut laugh out of me anymore. This did.

Yikes. Perhaps I've gotten too used to high quality stuff from these actors and Greg Daniels, but this was a huge let down. Storyline is in this weird area where it's way too over the top to be believable, but not crazy enough that it can be funny on its own. Series skirts with dealing with more serious topics but their inclusion feels awkward and typically has pandering background music. There are a few laughs here but also a solid amount of groans. Wouldn't recommend.

AfterMASH is an American situation comedy that aired on CBS from September 26, 1983, to December 11, 1984. A spin-off of the series M*A*S*H, the show takes place immediately following the end of the Korean War and chronicles the adventures of three characters from the original series: Colonel Potter, Klinger and Father Mulcahy. M*A*S*H supporting cast-member Kellye Nakahara joined them, albeit off-camera, as the voice of the hospital's public address system. Rosalind Chao rounded out the starring cast as Soon-Lee Klinger, a Korean refugee whom Klinger met, fell in love with and married in the M*A*S*H series finale "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen." AfterMASH premiered in the fall of 1983 in the same Monday night 9:00 P.M. EST. time slot as its predecessor M*A*S*H. It finished 10th out of all network shows for the 1983-1984 season according to Nielsen Media Research television ratings. For its second season CBS moved the show to Tuesday nights at 8:00 EST., opposite NBC's top ten hit The A-Team, and launched a marketing campaign featuring illustrations by Sanford Kossin of Max Klinger in a nurse's uniform, shaving off Mr. T's signature mohawk, theorizing that AfterMASH would take a large portion of The A-Team's audience. The theory, however, was proven wrong. In fact, the exact opposite occurred, as AfterMASH's ratings plummeted to near the bottom of the television rankings and the show was canceled nine episodes into its second season, while The A-Team continued until 1987, with 97 episodes.
