I can share one other thing that you older guys will remember but most people my age won’t. We had a party line. When the phone rang it rang to our house and two of the neighbors houses. We all picked up and figured out who the call was for, then the others hung up. If you wanted to you could stay on the line and listen in, but we never really did.

OP, I am 46. From what you are saying about party lines and TV programming you have to be around my age. If that's the case you were certainly old enough to remember most all of the stuff people are talking about and certainly old enough to understand what Klinger was up to.
I probably wouldn't have watched Mash as a first choice as a child but we only got 2.5 channels so Mash it was. But mostly reruns in the afternoon I think. Though maybe some first runs as well.
