I am 52 y.o. And I remember in the 70s as a kid. Now? I watch these episodes and I laugh and laugh. Cheezy humor but that was the theme for many sitcoms as this one. I rate McHale navy as one of the best shows of its time. Right along with 3 stooges/ Hogan's Heros./ The Little Rascals. I was shocked to see such of a low rating. I believe the rating is low because if u didn't live those days in the 70s and 80s u wouldn't get it. So the younger generations just didn't get it I guess. The ridiculous silly humor was just on point. LOVED IT!!!!!.... Still do.
