Press Material

In the early 1970s and into the early 1980s, there was no social media, and there was no direct way for 20th Century-Fox Television and CBS to communicate information about the latest M*A*S*H episodes to fans. The press was vital, and local newspapers and publications such as TV Guide were how viewers learned when the series aired and what the latest episode was about.

The monthly Press Pass posts will feature press materials that passed along information about M*A*S*H and its cast to publications across the country and world. Whether it is a press kit, press photos, a preview of a new season, or biographies of each cast member, each press release tells us what went in to ensuring that M*A*S*H reached the target audience each week.
