To enjoy this show, one must be able to embrace the silliness that can infuriate some people. In other words, if you are on the uptight side and you prefer more sophisticated brands of entertainment, particularly comedy, this might not be for you.
On the other hand, if you have had a taste of classic television, along the lines of "I love Lucy", "The Munsters", "Hogan's Heroes" and others, you will likely enjoy this program. There are laughs to be had in every single episode and between Tim Conway and Joe Flynn, there are more than a handful of 'bust a gut' laughing so hard moments.
This series must have been immensely difficult to produce, with such a large cast it is just impossible to spread the lines and laughs around. From start to finish, McHale, Parker and Binghamton carry the ball as far as getting the majority of the laughs. Gruber has his moments and so does Fuji and a handful of very good guest stars. It's no small wonder that Gavin MacLeod left the show, it must have been a frustrating experience for the cast members who played the crew of PT 73. I have a great respect for both the cast and the producers and directors because they had a very challenging job.
The bottom line here is that anyone who has an appetite for older TV programs should find this series more than satisfying.
