Making him a coast watcher was an interesting and plausible vehicle for Frampton's guest part. He didn't even need to cut his hair as he wasn't actually in the military and living in the wild as it were.
THIS was the peak of human history! Not this show, not television, but the 1970s! The 70s was the absolute Peak of human history, all things considered! The 70s blew away everything before, and everything after. There will be nothing to compare it to, ever. It was like time stopped, just to have a Carnival for 10 years! God Bless the 1970s, and EVERYONE who made it great!
Just saw this episode on rerun and recognized Peter Frampton. His characters name was even Peter. Looked for his name in the credits and they put some other name in, but I knew it was him! So I Googled it and found this. I knew I wasn’t crazy.
I remember watching this series when I was a kid, almost anything to do with world war two got me very interested. Had two uncles were in, one in Italy and the other in the Pacific, could never get them to talk about it though.
The fellows who saw real action (and that was almost everybody in World War II) never talked about the war. It wasn't glorious to them ---- only horrible.
*I know that Peter Frampton was a big fan of "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep," and that the producers figured out some way for him to keep his curly locks by having him as a castaway (I think) on an island in the Pacific."*
Hi Rassa I am allowed to introduce myself I am Christina I really appreciate it I love this black Sheep squadron a little bit of England because is pretty amazing definitely terrific and I show that video to Mr Perella because is pretty fantastic another thing and is pretty awesome and Peter Frampton meet Jeb Stuart Adams is amazing and I noticed that Both of them sing good Save the 👑song incredible absolutely wonderful also I sent it to My friend Jullian she is great Mr Frampton fan of course I sing with Lizzy from 9 2 5 play is mavelous
Definitely interesting though especially when I see Ms Bamford see it while I lunch with her and she is very nice guidance Counselor in Brockton high school is very awesome actually wonderful thing ever make me feel 😄 about this interesting part
Also is really impressing and is amazing and is it possible within in the grateful way I respect this so far and definitely I can reply is this is cool next video of Black sheep squardon Peter was coming with King George to see Elizabeth okay and something like that really complicated though but is going to be alright soon as possible
Hi Christina - I'm glad you enjoyed the videos. I am always on the lookout to find unusual and humorous scenes from great television shows. Hope to post more when I have time. I spent a good deal of my late childhood in the basement building model airplanes such as the Corsair and Zero fighters. Yes, the show was a big influence on me and I watched each episode. I certainly knew who Peter Frampton was, but was more of a Beatles fan back then. My older sisters were teenagers of the 1970s and had all the records by the 'long haired rock groups', (haha..) so I kind of experienced that era through their interests.
Actually, the show was also quite expensive to produce, given the corsairs, and everything else...the ratings were dropping when they decided to add some women nurses to the mix (aka pappy's lambs) to try and compete with Charlie's Angels (didn't work that well), but I actually thought the entire series was pretty good...loved Red West as Micklin...COLLEGE BOYS...
Overall it was a much-underrated series and often panned by the critics and episodes like this did not help (I suspect that Peter Frampton was brought in to pander to the teenies, yeah, that worked!). It was the right show in the wrong era. In the mid to late 70s Jimmy Carter and his "Malaise" administration, American cynicism reigned, post-Watergate/Vietnam, anti-military sentiment was ripe, the economy was in the toilet...Nuff said. Now, had Black Sheep aired in the mid-80s might have had a fighting chance, pun intended. There was a totally different mindset, patriotism was at an all-time high, the economy was booming, Americans felt good and confident and they were proud of the military once again and well of course...... Ronald Regan. Still, the surviving members of VMF214 were amused bty Hollywood's take on their squadron, while honored, they questioned the mountain of inaccuracies, especially since Pappy was the show's consultant.
cameraman655 , I liked the show when it first aired I was about 9 or 10 years old , but the long haired " marines " and the back drop of the South Pacific islands of southern California , kinda did it in for me after about a year , but far as pappy was probably concerned especially about technical accuracy of the show , he wasn't going to bite the hand that feeds , you gotta think ww2 had been over for a long time by then and he was old and the show kept his name out there and the money coming in .
I hate group txt !!!!!!!! I hear ya, indeed the technical inaccuracies were rampant in the series, most surviving Black Sheep readily acknowledged. Still it held my attention and piqued my interest in the military at a time the military was “NOT COOL”.
The tenuous suspension of disbelief with this show is shattered with the 1980's hair styles of the cast in general. The Marines back then had short hair and greased back. It's totally phony baloney, but the dogfights with the Corsairs make it worth watching.
Yes, Frampton's hair was way too long for those days, even for an Englishman, but just about everyone else on the show had their hair too long. I mean, it did make them look better that way, but for historical accuracy, an F.
Another thing about little bit of England is great episode of Black sheep squadron with Peter Frampton and Jeb Stuart Adams very awesome though especially since I really know that you love it very much and tell your sisters I said hi
I like how Peter Frampton's character does mind control on the young American pilot here - first he tells the pilot that 'My Country Tis of Thee' was originally the British National anthem, then he encourages the young American pilot to sing along to the British National anthem version with lyrics like "God Save our King" included. That's not a very patriotic lyric for an American to sing, but then again not a lot makes sense here....
It's being polite to one's host. Notably, after 9/11, the Queen herself sang along to a congregational singing of "The Star Spangled Banner" at a church service in honor of the victims. In addition, the famed Changing of the Guard was once performed to the American anthem around that time.
Peter Frampton?? It's the 1940s; is he playing a man or a woman? It would have been a more interesting cameo if they had managed to cut or disguise his locks, or even had him use a stage name and wait for the press to report it as people figured out who it really was.
This show had horrible ratings, I guess by bringing in Frampton, the producers were trying to attract younger viewers. Frankly, I loved the show, of course ask any surviving 214 pilot or crew member, the show was far from realistic. This show was a great show that was made in the wrong decade. The 70s, most Americans had very negative and pessimistic opinions of the US, the war in Vietnam ended just a few years earlier and was still very much n the minds of many Americans, Watergate further eroded what little patriotism there was and the economy was in the toilet. Now, had this show aired in the mid 80s, during the Regan years, with a very different mindset, it might have had a shot of surviving.
A lot of male actors had long hair in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s (through to today) and yes, when you see them in a war film that took place in prior decades it looks out of place in terms of realism. However, length of hair in a given era does not sound like it has much to do with patriotism. The long haired soldiers of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries were not unpatriotic. Check out the 1981 War and Soccer film "Victory" with Stallone, Michael Caine and Pele among others and then check out the male extras in the stands - most of them have long feather / hockey cuts (and this is supposed to be occupied France - circa 1943) At the time of Black Sheep Squadron Peter Frampton was making millions of dollars through "Frampton Comes Alive" and being a rock star so cutting his locks would have been tantamount to throwing away his music career. Black Sheep Squadron is (was) a cool TV show and one of my favorites growing up. It is (by and large) a successful retelling of fighter ace Colonel Gregory "Pappy" Boyington (USMC) and his squadron of "misfits", popular history meets American late 1970s TV sitcom, that is the style of the show.
Many coast watchers were not military till later and given Reserve Naval Commissions, but the Japanese didn’t respect the POW nor the Geneva Convention.
Making him a coast watcher was an interesting and plausible vehicle for Frampton's guest part. He didn't even need to cut his hair as he wasn't actually in the military and living in the wild as it were.
I'm here because I just read about this guest shot in Peter's new autobiography which I highly recommend. It's really a great read.
Yes!!! That's what brought me here! Love his book!
@@BriRog68 me too
And me, but it's only just come out in the UK!
Me too!
same here just read that part last night, awesome stuff
THIS was the peak of human history! Not this show, not television, but the 1970s!
The 70s was the absolute Peak of human history, all things considered! The 70s blew away everything before, and everything after. There will be nothing to compare it to, ever.
It was like time stopped, just to have a Carnival for 10 years! God Bless the 1970s, and EVERYONE who made it great!
It brings me right back to the reason I was in love with him starting in 1975. Just too damn adorable.
I remember seeing this the first time it aired. Fun stuff!
Just saw this episode on rerun and recognized Peter Frampton. His characters name was even Peter. Looked for his name in the credits and they put some other name in, but I knew it was him! So I Googled it and found this. I knew I wasn’t crazy.
This is great!! Thank you for sharing!!
This was 1978 and Frampton was a BIG star then I remember this episode loved it
I remember seeing this episode, but never knew it was Peter Frampton! 😮
Peter Frampton can serve me tea, anytime.💕❤
I had to check this out. Frampton talks about this in his book.
I remember watching this series when I was a kid, almost anything to do with world war two got me very interested. Had two uncles were in, one in Italy and the other in the Pacific, could never get them to talk about it though.

No problem Rassa I really appreciate it so much and is making me 😃 in the grateful way
I remember watching this show back when.
My younger sister thought that Peter Frampton was CUTE...😆
Actually, the show was also quite expensive to produce, given the corsairs, and everything else...the ratings were dropping when they decided to add some women nurses to the mix (aka pappy's lambs) to try and compete with Charlie's Angels (didn't work that well), but I actually thought the entire series was pretty good...loved Red West as Micklin...COLLEGE BOYS...

Long live Sir Peter Frampton!!!
This episode (the original run) is where I learned about that song.
Peter Frampton was in this episode, because Boyington asked him Show me The way
No he was in it to find out if Pappy Feels Like We Do.
Good part
That’s my dude ... my spirit animal ( I’ve heard people say that about their favorite stars)
Frampton that is
Nice marine haircut.
john tuttle , that goes for both of them
I remember that show Frank Herman couldn't wait to get home from work with the kids to watch Baa Baa Black Sheep LOL okay pal good TV series
The tenuous suspension of disbelief with this show is shattered with the 1980's hair styles of the cast in general. The Marines back then had short hair and greased back. It's totally phony baloney, but the dogfights with the Corsairs make it worth watching.
I watched this also when I was a kid. I’m now 68 yo and I flew corporate jets for just over 35 years. HHhhhmm. What do you think?
Didn't know they wore their hair that way back in WW2. Pretty anachronistic.
lol
He was supposed to be living in the wild and hiding from Japan Solders. I guess he could have cut his hair with a fish bone.
Good episode
doyafeeeeeeeeeeeel like eyedoo...... ohthats true
........Do you, YOU! , feel like I do???
This is when your manager is too greedy. Frampton on black sheep squadron. Jeez.
Peter asked the director himself if he could appear; he was such a fan of the show. Nothing to do with his manager.
Yes, Frampton's hair was way too long for those days, even for an Englishman, but just about everyone else on the show had their hair too long. I mean, it did make them look better that way, but for historical accuracy, an F.
Last episode to air...
Nice period haircut on young Frampton!?
Do you feel like I do?
Another thing I have you great day and I hope you can reply to back from you soon and good luck
Of course is pretty beautiful 😍 absolutely love it
Another thing about little bit of England is great episode of Black sheep squadron with Peter Frampton and Jeb Stuart Adams very awesome though especially since I really know that you love it very much and tell your sisters I said hi
1970's hair in 1944
Just learned my country tis of the was originally God save the queen
From peter frampton
Jaja hippie victorian
Hey you. college boy.
Since we are hiding from the Japanese why not play records and hoist a brightly colored cloth way up high.
Kind of a pathetic episode but then again Baa Baa Black Sheep was about as accurate and realistic as Yosemite Sam vs Bugs Bunny.
I like how Peter Frampton's character does mind control on the young American pilot here - first he tells the pilot that 'My Country Tis of Thee' was originally the British National anthem, then he encourages the young American pilot to sing along to the British National anthem version with lyrics like "God Save our King" included.

go fuck yourself.
lol
The long hair had nothing to do with ww2. Had to appease the 70s hippies.
M*A*S*H was the same way. 70's and 80's hair in 1950's military.
Flag’s upside down.
Peter Frampton?? It's the 1940s; is he playing a man or a woman? It would have been a more interesting cameo if they had managed to cut or disguise his locks, or even had him use a stage name and wait for the press to report it as people figured out who it really was.

Now, had this show aired in the mid 80s, during the Regan years, with a very different mindset, it might have had a shot of surviving.
But isn't Frampton's character living alone on a deserted isle? So he can grow his hair and look however he likes.

He is Aussie, longish blonde hair was quite common in their outback ect
Brits still had to cut thier hair in the army..navy whatever...this is silly!
