He ordered the shore-side business angle (which included running a laundry and still and McHale's rapport with the native chiefs) ramped [[Up to Eleven]], and the dramatics jettisoned. [[Lighter and Fluffier|The rest]] [[Sit Com|is history]].

* [[Spiritual Successor]]: ''McHale's Navy'' shares many behind-the-scenes people with ''[[The Phil Silvers Show]]'' and in many ways is Sergeant Bilko {{smallcaps|[[Recycled in Space|in the Navy]]}}.
