McHale's Navy Full Episodes: Season 1x13 | "The Captain's Mission"
Ashamed of his desk job, Binghamton assumes command of the 73 during McHale's absence, and takes it out on a combat mission so that he can have a war story to share with his battle-hardened fellow officers.

[@ianwilson8258]

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.

'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!

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.

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!🦂🥂

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!

[@stevenkenyon5191]

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

[@cherokeegeorge6077]

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.

[@mikeejay63]

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

[@cherokeegeorge6077]

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.

[@mikeejay63]

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

[@johnbockelie3899]

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

[@mohamadfaiz6935]

Captain Binghamton should be court martialed by Admiral Reynolds for taking the PT-73 boat without Cmdr McHale's permission.

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.

[@JosephWiess]

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.

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.

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

[@oveidasinclair982]

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.

[@HENSLEYMB]

During the year 1943, black were mostly working in the galley of ships or the mess hall on land bases.

[@waynemarvin5661]

You really needed this show to teach you that, Henry? I think you spend too much time with video games.

[@dysfunctional_vet]

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.
