M*A*S*H 1978 Emmy Ad

sg
20th Century Fox took out this ad (presumably in Variety), crowing about M*A*S*H's eight Emmy nominations for season six! I find the iconography a little grim, myself (and generic; this could be for any hospital/doctor-based show), but...

 FYI: Of the eight nominations, M*A*S*H won none that year. And what the heck is Loretta Swit doing being nominated as Best Supporting Actress? Who was the female lead on the show, Nurse Bigelow?

    Loretta Swit was better to be nominated as Best Supporting Actress, as she wasn't one of the three principals (though by Season 6, there was only one principal.) Otherwise, you are throwing her to the wolves since Maureen Stapleton and Bea Arthur didn't have to compete with Alan Alda's sermonizing to get screen time then.
