Where To Watch
23 delightful behind-the-scenes photos from the set of 'M*A*S*H'
See Alan Alda and the rest of the cast relaxing, working, celebrating and mingling with British royalty.
For eleven years on M*A*S*H, the gorgeous landscape of Southern California's Malibu Creek State Park served as the backdrop of a war-torn Uijeongbu, South Korea. The classic sitcom set during the Korea War placed its 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital at the foot of the Santa Monica Mountains. The old wooden sign that gave directions to Boston, Burbank, Seoul and beyond can still be found there staked in the savannah grass.
Rewind the clock four decades, and one can take a peek at the production of the timeless series. We gathered ten pictures (and one map) to give a sense of the look and mood of the M*A*S*H production. Unsurprisingly, smiles were all around.
Let's take a peek at the cast's camaraderie, Alda behind the camera, and a visit from British royalty.
