McHale's Navy
With a highly talented cast including Academy Award winner Ernest Borgnine, McHale's Navy is TV comedy at its very finest. Quinton McHale, an experienced South Pacific Sea Dog, was commissioned as a Lieutenant Commander into the U.S. Navy Reserve at the start of World War II, and made the Skipper of the Torpedo Patrol (PT) Boat #73, stationed at the U.S. Naval Installation on the island of Taratupa. Assigned to his command were 6 free-spirited, good-hearted Swabbies who loved to have fun, but who – though they usually ignored Navy regulations – did their jobs, and did them well, when duty called. The 73 'Family' included, among others, a con man and amateur Magician, a womanizing hunk, a dedicated Family man, a guitar-picking, moonshine-making Tennessee good ol' boy, and even a deserter from the Japanese Navy, who was an excellent cook. Second in command, was Ensign Charles Parker, a young, by-the-book Officer from Chagrin Falls Ohio, who was somewhat of a klutz, but who always managed to come out on top of a situation, usually with the help of McHale and The Crew.
