ALL OF THESE VARIOUS OLDER CLASSIC TV EPISODES ARE REALLY GREAT TO SEE ONCE AGAIN SO MANY YEARS AFTER THE DAYS OF OUR YOUTH WITH MANY NOW VERY WELL KNOWN ACTORS BEFORE THEY REACHED THEIR ULTIMATE FAME - THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR FINDING AND POSTING THEM HERE.
'We sell Binghamton to the Japanese!' One of the best lines of the entire 1st season, then again, when this is co-written by Danny Simon (Neil Simon's older brother, you know...'Odd Couple', 'The Apartment.'), would you expect to write anything less than superb! This episode is No. 5 in my Top Ten for this season. 'Why are you throwing out my idea, let's see what kind of a price we can get for him.' I grew up with the 60's comedies, I agree, they are the best!
BEST LINE(S): (on Binghamton assigning himself to active duty on the 73) Gruber: Beg pardon sir, does that mean the war is over? Gruber: Hey..I have an idea. It's not easy, but it just might work….. anyway it's our only chance....we sell Binghamton to the Japanese. (Best line of Season 1) What are you throwing out my idea for, let’s see what kind of a price we get for him. (On Binghamton's torpedo strike) Parker: Men, you just witness the first time in Naval history that a torpedo sank a truck.
Your right about the 'Operation Petticot' scene. Repeating scenes from other sources have been used since the beginning of movies/tv. The yacht scenes from 'Palm Beach Story' 1942 had been used in other movies as well. 'Road to Zanzibar' 1941 was one and I think (not sure) 'Min and Bill' 1930. So, the torpedo scene from another show is not surprising as many of these shows were produced by the same Hollywood studios like Sto-Rev.
Yeah Sue, it's a good thing that stock footage exists. TV shows didn't have the money to do much more than basic stunts early on. Even flight scenes had to be cut from stock footage
Has anyone noticed The 'Mind Gamers' (what I call the two officers in the club Binghamton meets occasionally that mess with his ego) have their rank epilettes reversed in 'The Binghamton Murder Plot'? Walter Brooks is a Commander and Mark Tapscott is a Captain in TCM, however, in TBMP Walter is a Captain and Mark is a Commander....how sneaky!
The one movie I was trying to remember where the yacht scenes were repeated was 'Saps at Sea' 1940 - Laurel & Hardy. I have to see it again, it has been a while.
He struggled with weight and alcohol for several years. He was pudgy during McHale's Navy and as "Big Chicken" on Hawaii Five-O. He wasn't exactly slim on The Mary Tyler Moore Show. He did not enjoy being on McHale's Navy as he only had a few lines.
Yeah, the old sitcoms are so much better than most of the new ones. I do like Big bang theory, Mike and Molly. but not many other new shows, to try to be funny the go dirty, sink a truck, that's just good clean fun
it was some years ago. in the early 1960's. i was a kid getting my hair cut and the "old" guy noticed i was looking at a fishing boat in a hunting magazine. he said to me, do you know PT boats were made of plywood. i did not believe him for a second. he told me he was an island watcher who had been dropped by sub, picked up by sub, dropped by pt boat, picked up by pt boat and a very long story about sending coded messages of japanese ships observed. i did not believe any of it. after i left the barber shop with my dad, i told him the story and said i not believe it. my dad told me that he was what he said, and was an officer in the marine corps who assisted with coordinated sub attacks and did work with the watchers, on japanese shipping. he took me home and showed me some stories written in the very late 1940's and 50's where he was interviewed and told how he was captured and tortured by the japanese, and liberated just before the end of the war. he was a real hero. i started to watch these TV shows with real interest. while this is hollywood, this shaped a lot of my thoughts about the violence of war and how good men have to step forward and prevent this.
Between this “combat “ and rat patrol I learned that on tv people just get new parts they don’t die. Unlike what happened when I spent 21 months in Vietnam
No one dies because that would change the entire make up of the show, this show was a light hearted comedy designed for a family audience of the 1960's. I love watching this because no one is cussing, dropping their cloths every other scene and if yo ever notice, no blacks in the show.
Japan never signed the Geneva Convention so how Fuji file e complaint? Having served in the Royal Navy, I am surprised that their flag never flies straight aft at the speeds they appear to travel. Rather it flies to either side, an impossible feat. 'nuf sed
All the Rubbish started with M.A.S.H. & HOGAN HERO’S and comedy Rubbish like THE BIG BANG THEORY (all Gays) and other Rubbish they make in Hollywood now!!! McHALES NAVY was the best comedy ever made.
Vic Avakian ................Vic , I agree, as you say HOGANS HEROES was most certainly "garbage" in every sense of the word. Mchales Navy has a finesse about it , Earnest Borgnine , Joe Flynn and Tim Conway were absolutely superb in their respective roles. There was no comparison to the likes of Bob Crane , whom should have been merciful and remained on radio where he belonged ...........
It’s so weird. I wasn’t wondering if Vic Avakian was an ignorant bigot, but here I am two years after his comment, and providence chooses to let me know that he is indeed an ignorant bigot. Wow, life is weird eh?
What I really like about this program is that you can watch it over and over and see something different each time. Top quality entertainment.
shows like this need to be brought back
Best way to do an episode when your tip liner has laryngitis. One of my favorites! 😁👍

Sell Binghamton to the Japanese? The’d give him back.
When they blew up the truck, I am 99% sure that was a movie clip from "Operation Petticoat" from 1959 and McHales Navy was 1962!🦂🥂
Greatest Sitcom ever.These actors have the utmost ability to make the most out of Humor.The Dawn of Sitcoms.
Curious what today's Navy thinks of this show...
😁
The Captain in action, he did pretty good, this was a good show
Go him...ha!
Good campy comedy. I love it. The Japanese had a secret weapon. Capt Binghamton.
Fantastic episode and excellent show !
This is classic 60's television.
What. what. WHAT.!!!
I could just.SCREAM. famous lines.
I would love to ride on one of those PT boats cruising along🙂
I love watching watching McHale's navy. I started watching it all over.

That truck being sunk was actually taken from Operation Petticoat. :)

I like Mr. Parker's fast talk at the end to get a weekend pass.

Binghamton got outfoxed...again!
Ha ha ha!
(Loved the scene eating rice with the Japanese soldiers - hilarious!)
😆👍

I remember this show from the 60s, it's great to look back at these episodes.

This episode show’s hilarious action between Binghamton and Parker
Parker: But Commander McHale teaches us the Navy way
Binghampton: Yes, I know that, but our Navy, not the Japanese
LMAO
8:56. That's a pretty smooth riding PT boat. Normally they'd be hanging on for dear life.
This episode is hilarious 😂
Virgil! Oh my!
Why is the wedding march mixed in at the end of the music at 21:38??? LOL
Fine trajectory sir!
Binghamton was the star of the show 😀
@5:00, Christi calls Fugi by his real name. Kind of a cool blooper that they let go.
Love this show
Captain Binghamton should be court martialed by Admiral Reynolds for taking the PT-73 boat without Cmdr McHale's permission.
Cpt Binghamton had 4 stripes that said he could have taken the 73 😅
Not to mention the negligent discharge @00:54…
Thank you very much.
Weird seeing Gavin MacLeod with a bit of a gut. He'd slim down a bit by the time The Sand Pebbles was shot.
Or maybe love boat.
He struggled with weight and alcohol for several years. He was pudgy during McHale's Navy and as "Big Chicken" on Hawaii Five-O. He wasn't exactly slim on The Mary Tyler Moore Show. He did not enjoy being on McHale's Navy as he only had a few lines.
Wow I often think about the part eating the rice and I haven't seen it since I was five.
I guess its true about impressions made early in life.
Sinking a truck... good times.
Yeah, the old sitcoms are so much better than most of the new ones. I do like Big bang theory, Mike and Molly. but not many other new shows, to try to be funny the go dirty, sink a truck, that's just good clean fun
That footage was inserted from Operation Petticoat.
Yup, great classic, Cary Grant and Tony Curtis.
@@pickeljarsforhillary102 I thought that I rembereed seeing a submarine sinking a truck somewhere.
Who cares if there are other scenes from Petty coat junction etc etc....just watching Joe Flynn is a killa...lol
Petticoat Junction? There were very few PT boats on Petticoat Junction.
Oh, oh better call Mako!
Well there you have it...the first time in naval history that a torpedo sank a truck.
Nope - is from a movie about a submarine. "Can't remember the name of it off hand, sorry to say.
Got it! "Operation Petticoat":
ruclips.net/video/0p2JpYJpcFM/видео.html
Didn't they sink a truck with a submarine in the movie "Operation Petty Officer", I mean "Operation Petty Coat" with Cary Grant and Tony Curtis?
That's based on a real event. The USS Bowfin sank a bus during WWII.
@@jeffspaulding9834 The corvette HMS Groundsel sank a horse & cart in 1943.
The scene where the torpedo sinks a truck is taken from the movie Operation Petticoat, whole and as photographed for that movie.
Gavin McLeod was in both
10:30 would be off the port side. Not the starboard.
question. what happen to the pt boat they show in the intro of the show.
Hilarious🤓❗❤
"only an idiot has a negligent discharge"- me: a gun owner and avid shooter of more than 15 years
Again Mako!!!!!
Truck sinking footage to be reused later, in Operation Petticoat.
Correct! When I saw it, I yelled, "Hah, I know that one!"
Used prior, in Operation Petticoat, about 1959.
You beat me to it.
Operation petticoat came out in 1956.
Why does Mr macho always have his shirt off

i want to know what happen to the voates they use for the show they were real pt boates
Voates, George? Yeah, what happened to the voates?

During the year 1943, black were mostly working in the galley of ships or the mess hall on land bases.
You really needed this show to teach you that, Henry? I think you spend too much time with video games.
does BIGHAMTON EVER SCREAM?
At least once
@00:54, negligent discharge…
Why did Earnest Borgnine not appear in every episode?
@William Signs Mchale's Navy ran from 1962 to 1966 . Airwolf ran from 1984 to 1986 with the original cast members. L.O.L.
Borgnine was in all of the 138 episodes, including this one.
who is the guy who suck at using the chopsitcks
it was tinker
+spike spiegel oh I knew that I guess
lol it took me a minute to figure it out

Please one thing for sure that opening scene total disregard for firearm safety I know it's show but my God

So what it's a movie + Hollywood LOL
The flag never gets weather beaten either, faded or rat tailed at the end.
Did you really write "nuf"? And follow it with "sed"? English isn't your birth language, is it?

Big, M*A*S*H was not rubbish, not was Tour of Duty. War is hello, and people dealt with it the best they could. McHale's Navy was pretty ridiculous.
Hey Big, not everyone on The Big Bang Theory is gay. Do you work for "Fake News" Trump
