About this Quote

This quote by Joan Severance recommends that she hopes for a tv show that is able to integrate humor with difficult subject matter. M * A * S * H was a popular television program that ranged from 1972 to 1983 and was set during the Korean War. It was understood for its comical aspects, but likewise for its ability to deal with tough topics such as death, war, and psychological health. Severance is likely expecting a show that is able to integrate the exact same level of humor with tough subject matter, as M * A * S * H did. This might be a show that is able to downplay challenging topics, or one that is able to make audiences laugh while still resolving severe issues. It is clear that Severance is looking for a show that is able to integrate humor and challenging subject matter in a way that is both amusing and thought-provoking.
