Product Description
A likable mix of WWII action and light comedy, the first 10 episodes of the
NBC series Baa Baa Black Sheep (1976-78) wing their way onto DVD in this
double-sided two-disc set. Based on the adventures of Marine Corps pilot
Major Gregory "Pappy" Boyington (played in the series by the always dependable
Robert Conrad) and his squadron of roguish ace fliers in the South Pacific Theater,
Baa Baa Black Sheep benefited from an excellent cast (which included such TV and film
vets as Simon Oakland and Dana Elcar, as well as up-and-comers like John Larroquette
and Larry Manetti of Magnum, P.I.) and scripts from series creator Stephen J. Cannell
(as well as long-time TV scribes like Philip De Guere and Milt Rosen) that offered a
enjoyable balance of humor and combat. The blend gets an excellent showcase in the 1976
two-hour pilot, Flying Misfits, which kicks off volume 1; the remaining 10 adventures pit
Pappy and the Black Sheep boys against the Axis Japanese in a secret squadron of captured planes
("The Meatball Circus," episode 8), a brainwashed American captain ("Presumed Dead," episode 7),
and a tough major (Charles Napier) with designs on commanding the squadron ("Best Three out of Five,"
episode 3)
