Was it true this show was similar to Mchale's Navy?

[TVFactFan]

Read in some magazines that this show was kind of like a 70's version of Mchale's Navy

[treky]

I remember watching it in the 70s, but I never thout so and at the time I was also watching reruns of "McHALES NAVY" on a local station (WKBS channel 48, Solomon! Do you remember when they used to show them?)

Yeah I think 48 showed the shows below

McHale's Navy
Gomer Pyle
Bananna Splits
Flinstones


CPO Sharkey aired on channel 48 in 1989/90

[treky]

it did? Must have been when I was working during the day.


But, I remember they also used to show The Munsters, The Beverly Hillbillies, Sanford & Son, The Jeffersons, All In The Family, The Odd Couple.

After seeing Gomer Pyle for the First Time, The Closing Credits of CPO Sharkey is Similar to the Opening Credits of Gomer Pyle

[treky]

I haven't seen "C.P.O. SHARKEY" in 30 years, since it was first on NBC, and the last time I saw Gomer was when TV LAND used to show it, but now that you mention it, Solomon, you're right.


Also Solomon, you would be interested in this-I remember, for the last few episodes of "C.P.O. SHARKEY" they used plots that were first used on "GOMER PYLE: U.S.M.C."

Also the Tall White Guy in CPO Sharkey was the GOMER of CPO SHarkey-lol Tall and Goofy and always yelled at by Sharkey

Just read he was the Executive Producer for both CPO Sharkey and Gomer Pyle. Now the similarities make sense

Never knew CPO Sharkey was seen in syndicated reruns! This was Don Rickles' closest thing to having a hit series.

I watched it on NBC, but my memories of the actual show are very much a faded memory.

I discovered the show on one of my local tv stations in 1989 and comedy Central aired CPO Sharkey in the early 90's

Yeah they aired a marathon in 1990 or 1991 of all the eps and during the marathon they keep saying during the commercial break-"THIS IS THE LAST TIME THIS SHOW WILL BE ON TV"


LOL
