Black Sheep Squadron

I watched Baa Baa Black sheep for the first time in 1983. I really liked the dislikable characters like Miklin and Colonel Lard who were good in their roles.

This series has 'childhood memory' written all over it. I simply loved it.

Let me tell ya - Had actor, Robert Conrad not been a primary member of the cast of "The Black Sheep Squadron", then, yes, I probably would've ranked this TV drama with a much higher rating than just 4 stars.But, I found Conrad's presence in these episodes to be almost intolerable.

I absolutely loved this show. The aircraft scenes were top notch - very well filmed.

With the passing of Robert Conrad and H&I showing the show again I wanted to comment on it. This is one of the first shows I remember watching because my Grandfather served with the actual Boyington during WW2 and we watched several eps shortly before he died.

The production values, period details, and writing for this awful cartoon version of the Pacific War are just terrible. While the Corsairs are very good indeed, the plots, historical setting, and acting are abysmal.

It was an excellent program... and miles above the competition!

Black Sheep Squadron is a series that is fascinating to watch, over and over. I first started watching it on the History Channel and have numerous tapes that are wearing out from use.

I loved this series. When I was in the Marines I was fortunate to be stationed at Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay with Marine Air Group 13 (MAG 13).
