Wartime Mondays: The Captain's Mission (McHale's Navy, 1962)

 Time to scope the lighter side of war, with this season 1 episode of McHale's Navy:

Series star Ernest Borgnine is reduced to a cameo, as the focus is on Captain Binghamton (Joe Flynn, ex-The Joey Bishop Show), who takes over the PT73 for a mission while McHale is on leave. Via flashbacks, Ensign Parker (Tim Conway) explains to McHale exactly what happened. Seems Binghamton was bored being at his desk.......


Down the line, we'll feature Combat!, and other war-centric programs.
