This was one of the funniest yet!!! I LMAO when Tim Conway was doing that British Accent!!! Then he was hitting Capt Binghamton (Funny as HELL)!!! Keep these great McHale Episodes Coming!!!!
here is a bit of history for you. Borgnine was in the usn during ww2, he wanted to be faithful to the time, so he wore the appropriate usn peak cap of the era during most the filming of the tv shows. in this episode in the dress uniform clip he wore the post ww2 navy hat with the large eagle emblem. in the later bar scene he is wearing the ww2 appropriate small eagle emblem hat that he wore most of the time on the set.
The Navy talked to Ernest Borgnine and thanked him for the show because they recruited so many new sailors, while the show was on the air. It was much like the gym, neighbors show and the marines. They called the show and said please don’t send that boy to war. That was a much more contemporary war story and we were busy sending troops to Vietnam right and left when that was on the air. So Jim neighbors got to stay stateside because the Marines requested it. I’m not sure it was ever part of the plan to send him to actual war, because that would be too expensive to film. It wasn’t really a military show. It was a relationship show and it was a fish out of water scenario.
Joe Flynn..What can I say.. The Man Was Hilarious. They wanted to make a revival, a move and Ernest Borgnine said "I would be interested but, where you gonna find another Joe Flynn?" 11/8/24 - 7/19/74 R.I.P. Joe Flynn. Irreplaceable.
@@alcoholic2412 that was an odd thing. He told someone he was going to do laps in the pool but he had a cast on his leg. You do NOT get casts wet! Any moisture inside can cause skin sloughing. Supposedly he had a heart attack in the pool but why would he be in the pool with a leg cast?
0:52 I love when these shows and films about WWII, made in the 60s and 70s, always reference "The Pentagon" which was under construction during much of the war. Actually, the Admiral should have said ....."'Orders From The War Department".
This was a fantastic show and I cannot understand for the life of me how it only went 4 seasons when a show like Hogan's Heroes, which was good but didn't have this strong a cast in my view, went 7! Tim Conway was one of the funniest men in all of the history of television and that Captain Binghampton is hilarious too!
I got so plowed at the enlisted mans club one night that I couldn't walk, the 3rd time I fell down I stayed down at got back to my barracks on my hands and knees, about 500 yards, laughing all the way, what a hangover I had at 0500, oh boy. :-(
When lead bottom yelled to McHale for being out of uniform . He was wrong according to the military code of conduct manual since he had his cover on he was in uniform
Interesting, the Pentagon would have just been dedicated and was starting to be put into operation in segments when this supposedly happened. Not sure if the Navy would have been referring to it yet, more likely they would have been talking about the Navy Department located in the Munitions Building. Otherwise, for a 'military' comedy it wasn't too bad. I should have caught what another poster mentioned about the uniform cap since that's what my Dad and an uncle wore in WW2.
Scott Combs Because all the other shows he's been in he's way more comic or comedian than actor, and this is the first time I seen him acting way more than being a comic.
Like that Bingy wasn't shown 2 B a dunce. In lotsa ways was more an even match with McHale and crew. If B could've relaxed on the regs or just the 'tude, boy oh boy what the whole lot of them could have come up with.
@SmoothRide Neither Britain nor America saved Australia in WW II' A bit of history that has escaped you. The Australian Prime Minister Curtin had to fight with Churchill to have Australian troops fighting for Britain in the middle east brought back to defend Australia when japan entered the war. After the British disaster at Singapore, Churchill said that Australia was expendable.
The fall of the impregnable bastion of Singapore showed how weak the British were in the east, and resulted in the loss of the Australian 8th Division. The 8th had some local successes in the retreat of the British forces down the Malay peninsula and bore the brunt of the Japanese attacks when they invaded the west of Singapore island. I interviewed men of the 2/14 battalion AIF (Australian Imperial Force as they went to help the defense of the Empire) the first veterans of the middle east who went up the Kokoda track in New Guinea to help the hard pressed, outnumbered inexperienced, ill equipped militia battalions hold off and push back the invading Japanese forces to their landing beaches on the north coast. Only there did an American division assist in the destruction of the Japanese force. Australian troops inflicted the first land defeat on Japan of the war at Milne bay New Guinea. A relative of mine, a bomber pilot, was killed on a mission to Milne Bay. His brother was part of the large Australian contingent that formed part of bomber command, who stayed in Europe to help Britain against Germany. By the end of the war Australia had the world's fourth largest air force. The younger brother was shot down, taken prisoner and sent to Stalag Luft 3. He was to have gone out in The Great Escape, but being the closest thing they had to a doctor in the camp , a former medical student, he gave up his place to a man who was executed and elt guilty ever after. My mother said that the guy who played the 'doctor' in the film was dark haired whereas her cousin was fair haired. The Americans did not save Australia from invasion and occupation. Australian troops did so. Certainly Australia could not have defeated Japan alone, but the US could not have defeated Japan without Australia as a base. You're welcome.
I've watched most of the posted episodes, but didn't remember this one. Definately one of the better ones.
Wow! Yoshio Yoda is still Living! He’s 87! Fuji!
That's awesome God bless him 🙏
Great show from start to end. Conway and Flynn became comic foils in so many ways
This was one of the funniest yet!!!
I LMAO when Tim Conway was doing that British Accent!!! Then he was hitting Capt Binghamton (Funny as HELL)!!!
Keep these great McHale Episodes Coming!!!!
I grew up with Mc Cale’s Navy and so many others Andy Griffin show they were great and simpler times!!
Same here born in 1956 i grew up watching this show with my dad 😊
Hilarious 🤓❗THIS IS my favorite episode of Mchales Navy. Tim Conway is a gas👍👍👍👍
It's always fun to watch Conway and see some of his goings on that later developed into characters on the Carol Burnett Show.
This brings back fond memories of my time in the New South Wales Police Police Force - especially Dubbo where we had great camaraderie.
Thank you for posting this! Please more, please.
Ah yes!!!! A snippet of the America I knew and loved. Long before millennials were born!!
Us gen Z ruined it all
wonderful show wonderful humor

I always suspected McHale wore a.later date peaked cap on this show when on the PT 73.
This was an excellent TV show !

They did make a remake with Tom Arnold playing "McHale!" Ernest played himself as an Admiral. Good movie. 🐻
The Tom Arnold movie was about McHales grandson who commands.a modern.Navy patrol boat.
@Russ McHale's Navy
Love this show
Thank you for posting! The more, the better.

Joe's the best at character acting. 🐻
Joe Flynn actually drowned in real life...sad irony.

@@watchgoose That’s very suspicious. I hadn’t known about that either.
This is what you call real comedy, not like the rubbish they make now!!
i like that old show combat to it was real good
Comedy now is profane & toilet humor.😂😂😂

Well, another flaw is when the crew uses a parachute to make something , it always states " property of U.S.A.F." on it shouldn't it be U.S.A.A.F." ?.
When COMEDY...WAS. 4REAL

Hogans Heros was better in many ways tho I agree about Tim but he was badly miscast here
And Joe Flynn and Tim Conway were actually good friends.
"I could just scream."
No moustaches in the Andrew.

actually with just one button on uniform unbuttoned you be out of uniform
porque no suben estos vídeos en español. yo laa veía mucho en los 80tas.
I think McHale was in the USN so it is USN 73

i like the part werecaptain wally correct carpenter " to presi. . . PRIME minister churchil" 8:09
I didn't know that Conway could act!
What made you think that?
Scott Combs Because all the other shows he's been in he's way more comic or comedian than actor, and this is the first time I seen him acting way more than being a comic.
kdc43 good point
The guy is a brilliant comic check him out on the Carol Burnett show clips. His overweight jockey and elephant routines are hilarious
I thought it was P.T. 73
That a nautical version of Bilko?
Sorry I got the wrong button. But yeah anything from the 60's
good comedy

Sydney Australia is not England, we are not pommy..
That was a nasty and uneducated reply. And since youre into "Fyi's", Australia sent thousands of troops into Europe and Asia
And Bruce here is in charge of the sheep dip.

You're welcome.
@@pshehan1 Excellent FYI reply!!
@@pshehan1 The US defeated Japan by dropping 2 atomic bombs. Australia had nothing to do with the defeat of Japan you dumb ass bloke.
Ha
Sink meh, but this was a good one, what?
Love this show
