"McHale's Navy" Debuts on October 11, 1962



Broadcast on ABC.  Thursday.  9:30 to 10:00 p.m. Eastern time.

Military sitcom starring Ernest Borgnine, whose movie career had started to go into eclipse by 1959.  Ran for 4 seasons and was the 22nd most popular show during the 1963-64 season.

Comment found at tv.com  One of the all-time classic tv shows. I joined the Navy because of this show.

Not one of my favorite shows, I'll confess, but one that I watched with regularity on the Nelson family's black-and-white RCA console TV.  Color didn't come to our house until 1967.
