- McHale's Navy: Season One stars Ernest Borgnine as Lt. Commander McHale. As the Skipper of Torpedo Boat #73, McHale runs anything but a tight ship. It's not that he and his men are screw ups or unpatriotic, it's just that the Navy has a lot of rules and McHale and his men love to bend them a little. War is hell, right? In charge of the base is Captain Wallace B. Binghamton (Joe F
DVD Reviews of Mchale's Navy: Season One, Vol. 1
DVD Review: Solid comedy with a surprising cast.
Summary: 4 Stars
As a kid I always welcomed each week's episode of McHale's Navy, and always enjoyed seeing how McHale (Ernest Borgnine) was going to pull one over on Captain Bingamton each week.
The story is of a PT boat commander and his crew in the South Pacific in World War II. The show was created at a time when WWII shows were hot, as WWII was not yet 20 years in our past. At about the same time, you had other shows like Combat!, The Rat Patrol, and 12 O'Clock High. Of these McHale's Navy was unique in being a comedy.
You get to see Tim Conway, and early looks at Gavin MacLeod and Bob Hoskins.
Sadly, although he was in a lot of TV and film I watched in the 60s, I just never could warm up to Joe Flynn's single character persona, present here as Captain Binghamton. Of course, he was always the foil, so you weren't meant to warm up to him. Still, other notable character foils managed to do so without being quite as irritating. (Ted Baxter in Mary Tyler Moore, or Richard Deacon in The Dick Van Dyke Show, as examples).
I wouldn't spend any small fortunes to obtain this series, but if you can get a good deal on it, including buying used at a low price, you won't regret it, as there are laughs aplenty in store.
