Movie Reviews of McHale's Navy - Season TwoMovie Review: "McHale And His Pirates" Return For Season Two! Summary: 5 Stars
Climb aboard and set a course for laughter as Lt. Commander McHale and the crew of PT 73 return with 36 more light-hearted romp on the Pacific episodes in McHale's Navy - Season Two!
Still at odds with authority, skipper McHale (Ernest Borgnine), Ensign Parker (Tim Conway), and the fun-lovin' crew of PT 73 continue to oppose blustery Capt. Binghamton (Joe Flynn) and his jittery aide Lt. Carpenter (Bob Hastings) with hilarious results. Whether helping one friend get a letter out to his girl from a Japanese compound ("A Letter for Fuji") or helping another to hear his child say her first words via ham radio using a confiscated enemy radio ("A Da-Da For Christy"), the teamwork and camaraderie McHale and his men display in the episodes remain among my favorite aspects of the show.
Joining in on the schemes and hijinks this season in a recurring role is Ernest Borgnine's Dirty Dozen co-star George Kennedy as Big Frenchy, an old acquaintance of McHale who gives the crew a run for their money when it comes to running cons. Other guest stars include Ted Knight (The Mary Tyler Moore Show), Arte Johnson (Laugh-In), Allan Melvin (The Brady Bunch), Olan Soule (The Adventures of Batman with Robin the Boy Wonder), and Mike Farrell of TV's other long-running military comedy M*A*S*H.

Summary of McHale's Navy - Season TwoFrom Quinton McHale's first onscreen appearance on a pair of water skis, 1960s audiences knew the hero of the title wasn't a typical navy officer.

Borgnine is supported by a stellar cast, including comedic luminaries Tim Conway (THE CAROL BURNETT SHOW), Gavin McLeod (THE LOVE BOAT), and Joe Flynn (BATMAN).
