ALL 30 EPISODES FROM THE FINAL SEASON
Lieutenant Commander Quinton McHale (Ernest Borgnine), Ensign Parker (Tim Conway) and the rest of the oddball crew of PT-73 get onboard for one more season of ship-tipping adventures.
Season 4 finds McHale and company relocated halfway around the world following their transfer from Taratupa Island to an American Naval base in Voltafiore, Italy. Between the scheming Mayor Mario Lugatto (Jay Novello) and Army Colonel Douglas Harrigan (Henry Beckman), reassignment isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, and with Captain Binghamton (Joe Flynn) out for blood, McHale has his hands full.
From 1962 through 1966, McHale’s Navy was a must-see staple of television. This fourth season marked the finale of what has since become one of the true classics of television comedy.
For the first time, all 30 episodes from the fourth season are collected complete and uncut on DVD.
