In 1962, McHale's Navy premiered with a star-studded cast, great writing, and campy characters. The show became an instant hit with a great following.
After running for 138 episodes, the show was finally cancelled, but not before the characters had become familiar to nearly every household in America. The black and white classic is no longer available on television at the time of this writing. |

Show Concept:
- Stationed in the South Pacific during World War II, the crew of the PT boat endeavours to get the luxuries and fortune they're missing out in the middle of nowhere. The crew arranges parties, raids, and spoofs on their nemesis Capt. Binghamton and his aide Carpenter, while trying to stay under the radar. Their houseboy, a Japanese army runaway, Fuji, retains his POW garb to avoid accidental shooting should he be discovered. The final year was shot after their relocation to their new port in Italy, but by then, the show's popularity was waning.
