Is there a shot in TOS with the entire main cast?

Need some help from fellow Trek fanatics. Do any of you know of an episode of the Original Series that features a shot of the entire crew? You know the kind of shot I'm talking about. It's the one Star Trek loves to do of the whole crew at the end of the movies and certain episodes. I would like the shot to contain the entire original cast (Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Sulu, Uhura, and Chekhov). Any help identifying such an episode or the existence of one would be much appreciated. Please and thank you!
 
I found several screencaps on Trekcore that had six out of the seven mains in them, but haven't found a shot with all seven yet. Sometimes we're missing McCoy, sometimes Scotty, since they aren't normally working on the bridge like the other five.

The search continues.

That's because, outside of publicity shots, don't think there was one. I'm doing a re-watch of TOS right now (I'm five episodes into season three), and I haven't seen them all onscreen together yet. It was rare that all seven were in the same episode anyway, what with Sulu, Chekov, and Uhura all being day players.
 
Not sure if they're all in the same shot, but all seven characters were in the same scene in "The Lights of Zetar".

As previously mentioned, the entire original cast would not include Chekov.
Well, if you're going to be that way about it, the original cast doesn't have Kirk, McCoy, Scotty, Uhura or Sulu, either. :p

Point of order: With regard to what your talking about - the 'original pilot' wasn't picked up for a series - hence, techniclly it's not part of the actual 'series' beyond the two part 'The Menagerie' episode. And yes, they have added the original pilot to the current syndication package; but said pilot itself was never aired on network TV during the Star Trek series run.

(And yes, that's Trek nerdism in all it's glory - make of it what you will..:rofl::p;).)

Yes, good catch. After McCoy arrives, they were all simultaneously on the bridge in the beginning of act one. TrekCore screengrabs don't show them all in the same frame that I can find, though. I'll check next time I watch the episode, but who knows when that will be? ;)
 
^ Sorry, no Sulu.

As Push the Button mentioned above, Sulu is in the teaser of "I, Mudd." But then he isn't featured on the planet.

I wonder if Takei went back to filming The Green Berets after he shot his bridge scenes for "Mudd." If I recall correctly, The Green Berets had wrapped and Takei had returned to Star Trek, but then the movie needed some re-shoots and they called him back, which is why he is not in the next one, "The Trouble with Tribbles." And he regretted that Koenig got "his part" in "Tribbles."

Yeah, but Sulu's not in the shot, which was my point.
