A couple of newer series we've been watching are The Old Man (Jeff Bridges, John Lithgow) on FX and Upload on Amazon.
The Old Man is about an retired ex-CIA agent-turned-Afghani-fighter (against the Russians in the 80s) who is now living off the grid and trying to avoid those trying to capture or kill him.
Upload is about a virtual after-life. Basically a dramedy. Two seasons out so far with, I believe, a 3rd on the way.
We're waiting to start watching the new Chris Pratt series on Amazon called The Terminal List, about a Navy SEAL officer who's team got ambushed.

If someone likes to read up on trivia about old shows, the IMDB web site is a great site. IMDB stands for internet movie database, but they cover tv shows as well. Here's a link to the main page for the MASH tv series - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068098/ I've found their 'More Watch Options' not to be as accurate or as updated as the justwatch.com web site, but the rest of the content is great. They have a trivia section that covers the series, but they also have trivia with individual episodes. Some of the stuff is pretty interesting, such as these for MASH:- Gary Burghoff's (Radar's) left hand is slightly deformed, and he took great pains to hide or de-emphasize it during filming. He did this by always holding something (like a clipboard), or keeping that hand in his pocket.
- In his blog, M*A*S*H (1972) writer Ken Levine revealed that on one occasion when the cast offered too many nit-picky "notes" on a script, he and his writing partner changed the script to a "cold show", one set during the frigid Korean winter. The cast then had to stand around barrel fires in parkas at the Malibu ranch when the temperatures neared one hundred degrees Fahrenheit (thirty-eight degrees Celsius). Levine says, "This happened maybe twice, and we never got a ticky tack note again."
- The cast did not usually wear Army boots on-set. They proved to be too noisy for a soundstage, and uncomfortable to wear during filming. The actors and actresses were usually shot from the waist up as it was, so boots were only worn when necessary for a scene. Most of the cast actually wore sneakers.
There's also a quotes section and another interesting thing is you can list the episodes by Top Rated, which is based on ratings by IMDB users. For MASH, the top one is the episode where Henry leaves and #2 is the one with the Tuttle character.
Lots of good stuff on the web site for any tv show or movie - it's easy to spend a lot of time at the site.

METV has MASH on at certain times, plus several of the other older shows. Looks like you can stream it on Hulu. You can see all the episodes of Cheers on Peacock Premium or Paramount Plus. Looks like Wings is on Paramount Plus, and Taxi on Paramount Plus and Pluto. I usually use justwatch.com to find where shows are - here are the links for the 3 mentioned - scroll down the pages until you see a Watch Now area and it'll show who streams the show:

Mash for sure. No Cheers? I also liked Wings and Taxi.
Anyone know if these are available in syndication or on a streaming channel?

I've recently started watching Night Court on FreeVee.
I've also recently started watching Westworld on HBOMAX.
I'm always watching one of the Stargate series.
