During the quarantine/lockdown? As far as MASH goes, I've not really altered my watching. I watch mostly on an opportunistic basis; if I'm flipping channels and it's on, I'll watch whatever's on. I've not pulled out my DVDs or reran the Hulu episodes; in fact, the episode cued up in my Hulu account is Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen which I likely will not start. I did find Jeff Maxwell's podcast he started a couple years ago and binge-listened till I was caught up. I did find some archived MASH-related interviews on YouTube. And I did reread the original MASH novel (probably about my 10th reread).

I've been slowly working my way through other shows with my GF; we're about 2/3 of the way through Frasier right now. Before that it was House. Before that it was Seinfeld, I think. I'm not thinking she's going to enjoy MASH very much, as a lot of the pop culture jokes are puns (which she doesn't care for, I don't know why) and a lot of the other stuff is topical to the 50s; I loved looking up those things but I don't think she'll care much, and that removes a ton of the humor from it. I love her, and I love MASH (not as much), but I think MASH may be one of those things I have to keep watching on my own.

I stockpiled a bunch of 3 hour batches of MASH episodes off of Sundance and WGN a couple of years ago. But I put a Roku in the bedroom and my wife and I watch MASH off of Hulu every night when going to bed. We have went through the entire series a couple of times but now usually just watch episodes from the first three seasons over and over. I think those seasons are the best. It's refreshing to watch the long versions of episodes on Hulu...I didn't realize all the scenes that were cut to be broadcast as re-runs on regular television. Like for instance...I didn't know that Frank's nickname was from his brother...this story was in one of the Dear Dad episodes but only on the extended version.
