McHale's Navy season 4 episode 3, titled "Marriage, McHale Style," is a classic episode that showcases the hijinks and humor of the misadventures of the crew of PT-73.
The episode begins with Captain Binghamton receiving a letter from Major Anderson, a high-ranking army officer, informing him that he will be arriving on the island for an inspection. Binghamton, as always, is anxious to impress the Major and prove his worth as a competent commanding officer.
However, things take a turn for the worse when the Major arrives on the same day as the McHale crew's "wedding." The crew has decided to throw a mock wedding for crewmembers Parker and Chuck, complete with a fake minister, decorations, and even a wedding cake. Binghamton is furious at the sight, and threatens to have McHale and his men court-martialed for this blatant disregard of military protocol.
As the wedding festivities continue, it becomes clear that McHale & co's scheme is not just a prank, but a ploy to get Major Anderson and Binghamton to finally settle their years-long feud. The plan involves a fake bomb threat, disguises, and a wild car chase, all set against the backdrop of the wedding.
The episode's standout moments include the hilarious antics of Gruber and the always-lovable Ensign Parker, who serve as the comedic relief in a more serious storyline. Meanwhile, McHale and Major Anderson have a serious discussion about the futility of their constant bickering, and the need to work together for the greater good.
Overall, "Marriage, McHale Style" is a fun and entertaining episode that highlights the camaraderie and teamwork of the PT-73 crew and the ingenuity that they use to outsmart their superiors.
