McHale's Navy: Season Three

1962 • NR • Series • Catalog pick

Lieutenant Commander Quinton McHale (Ernest Borgnine), Ensign Parker (Tim Conway) and the rest of the misfit crew of PT-73 are back in action on the Taratupa Island Naval Base, setting sail for 36 more adventures in hilarity. With an unquenchable thirst for the good life in the middle of a rotten war, McHale and his scheming squad are locked in mortal combat not only with the Japanese, but also with the base's top brass — aka Captain Binghamton (Joe Flynn). Whether Binghamton is plotting to get McHale and his crew thrown off the island of banned from the Navy entirely, nothing stops the boys from pulling out all the stops in the name of good times and cheap thrills. From 1962 through 1966, McHale's Navy was a must-see staple of ABC television. By the show's third year on the air, the now-familiar crew had become a classic part of American culture — an unforgettable gang of fun-loving guys who were constantly at war with the enemy and at odds with authority.
