If you’ve ever looked the entry for M*A*S*H at the Internet Movie Database you’ve probably come across the photos section, which includes more than 100 images. A good number of them are DVD covers but there are a few dozen promotional photographs and stills from the series, both color and black and white. Here‘s a nice one of Harry Morgan and Loretta Swit standing with Jamie Farr in his Scarlett O’Hara dress from “Major Ego.” Many of these promotional photos are from the Motion Picture and Television Archive (MPTV) and you can find plenty of others by searching the MPTV website.

Here are a few promotional or behind-the-scenes photographs I found by searching for “mash” or various actors’ names:

• Alan Alda, Mike Farrell, William Christopher and Loretta Swit in their director’s chairs at the Fox Ranch
• Alan Alda and Mike Farrell waiting at the Fox Ranch (notice the police officer in the background)
• Loretta Swit and Gary Burghoff at a Christmas party
• Early cast photograph, perhaps Season Three (notice the obviously fake mountain scenery)

You can also find photographs of the cast in other television shows/movies as well as more candid shots:

• Larry Linville and a glider he is building
• McLean Stevenson on The Dinah Shore Show (with Susan Anton, Teddy Pendergrass and Vicki Lawrence)
• A signed photograph of a very young Alan Alda
• Loretta Swit at home circa 1973 (with an old telephone)

You can find promotional photographs for other television shows at the MPTV website as well, including Bonanza, Star Trek, Batman, The Dick Van Dyke Show and I Love Lucy.

Interestingly, I couldn’t find the photograph of Harry Morgan, Loretta Swit and Jamie Farr that I mentioned earlier at the MPTV website.
