McHale's Navy was a popular 1960s sitcom about a PT boat crew in WWII. The first three seasons take place in the South Pacific while the fourth was located in Italy. This is often considered to be the 60's equivalent of what the Phil Silvers Show / Bilko was to the 50's.
Starring Ernest Borgnine as Lt Commander Quinton McHale, Joe Flynn as Capt. Binghampton and Tim Conway as Ensign Parker.
Ernest Borgnine as McHale did not originate with this show. He first appeared in the role in an episode of Alcoa Presents called Seven Against The Sea in 1962. That was not a comedy, but a drama.
Following Season 2 a McHale's Navy film was released and following Season 3 another film was released called McHale's Navy Joins the Air Force.
All 3 of those rare films are found on Disc 8.
