god that womans voice is annoying

[Terry Corcoran]

The series was crippled by it's obvious similarity to McHale's Navy. Kathy's screechy voice didn't help, either, and the "Bad Guy" in charge didn't have the Mastery of his character like Joe Flynn had of Binghampton. It was too "cute".

[Paul Duca]

I got the idea that Andrews was supposed to be a combination of Binghampton AND McHale--presumably part of the system, while working it for all he could.

[onemooners]

me too

[britfrenir]

Too bad the Universal logo was cut off. That was one of reasons why I watched this video. I skipped the rest of video 2 for that and most of this video. This show is good though.

I remember watching this show on TV in the 1960's! I wanted to see Kathy Nolan on this show after seeing The Real McCoys.

[Oppledeldoc]

I've never gotten to see it, and it's pretty original. I like the way Edward Andrews isn't REALLY a disciplinarian, he just wants the place to stay the way it is. The funny thing is, he isn't even that much of a real sexist, he's just afraid the women will replace him and his men on the island, and they'll end up in the war!

[disabled1955]

only one season may be explained by Edward Andrews being another Captain Binghampton and Dick Sargeant another Lieutenant Carpenter; and/or by the fact that this show was up against the last half hour of the Ed Sullivan Show..i do remember watching this show because i was crazy about Kathleen Nolan, remembering her from 'The Real McCoys'..this show having such a short run,she's the ONLY cast member i really remember....
