I'm enjoying the fact that a show about the horrors of the Korean War is your example.

Though, yeah, the gore was probably unrealistic, as was their depiction of the horrors.

That said, I just watched Uncharted, and, while it had blood and violence, it was less than you would've seen on MASH.

I wouldn't say it was a _good_ movie, but certainly they're still making things to appeal to those of us who want escapism rather than be confronted with difficult realities.
