McHale's Navy - First 8 Episodes

From 1962 to 1966, "McHale's Navy" was ABC's must-see comedy series. With an amazing cast, including Academy Award winner Ernest Borgnine (Lt. Commander McHale), comic genius Tim Conway (Ensign Parker) and the one-of-a-kind comic talent of Joe Flynn (Captain Binghamton), this series remains on par with "M*A*S*H" as a truly funny military sitcom.

Veteran seaman Quinton McHale is commissioned into the Navy Reserve at the start of World War II. He becomes Skipper of the Torpedo Patrol (PT) Boat #73, stationed on the island of Taratupa in the Pacific. Assigned to his command are six free-spirited, good-hearted swabbies who love to have fun. McHale and his men are constant irritants to their base commander, Captain Wallace B. Binghamton. Binghamton is forever trying to find a way to get rid of McHale and his rule-bending crew, while McHale & Co. are forever scheming to keep him from succeeding. Despite their hilarious party-boy shenanigans and utter disregard for Navy regulations, when duty calls the crew of PT 73 does its job and does it well.

With talented stars, great writing and a solid support cast, including Gavin MacLeod ("Mary Tyler Moore," "The Love Boat") and Carl Ballantine, "McHale's Navy" is classic television at its finest and funniest.
