04 Where were the MASH episodes filmed?
The filming of the M*A*S*H episodes was broken up into two categories,
INTERNAL and EXTERNAL shots:
The filming of internal shots (inside buildings and selected close-up
shots of outside areas such as the compound) was done on stage #9 of
the 20th Century Fox Studios in Hollywood, California.
The external shots were filmed at the Fox Ranch in the Santa Monica
Mountains area of California, which was eventually donated by Fox to the
state of CA and renamed to Malibu Creek State Park. It's interesting to
note that this donation took place while M*A*S*H was still filming and
Fox Studios didn't have easy access to it, therefore the episodes in the
later seasons contain very few external shots.
Another note of interest is the fact that there was a major brush fire
in the Santa Monica Mountains during the filming of the final episode,
so they incorporated this fire into the storyline.
NOTE: Please refer to Q13 ("Significant addresses on/from from M*A*S*H")
----- for more exact information on the external filming location,
including directions on how to get there.
