The series was made just for him, and featured a host of great comic actors, including the wonderful Tim Conway. Quintin McHale, played by Borgnine, was pretty much the straigt man.

Joe Flynn, who played Capt. Binghamton in the series, was one of the truly great comic actors/straight man in television and films. His slow burns and abrupt explosions were some of the funniest moments of the show...

And, in an odd bit of "naval promotion", Gavin MacLeod, who played Seaman Joseph "Happy" Haines on "McHale's Navy", later went on to star as Capt. Stubing on the "Love Boat"...

Thank you for linking to a good laugh.

Manner If I only could get my hand on some of those dvd's Season 1-4(135 episodes) The bummer is that they have only released them in region 1 and 4.

My dvdplayer can only read region 2 :down:

Youtube doesn't have every episode(haven't tried every episode)

From seeing that episode, I understand why you love that series, a good laugh from start to the end of each episode.

RIP, one of the last of the Old Guard, a great character. I could have sworn that he was also in The Longest Day...:hmmm: looks like I was wrong, he must have been the only actor from the 60s who didn't participate in this film. :DL

Usually any DVD player can be switched to region 0 (free), the question is only if this info is available somewhere.
Also you could try hulu.com with a US proxy.
Both methods are perfectly legal in the EU.
