Trouble follows, when Gruber - In competition with a hometown neighbor, for the greatest War Hero - Is awarded a Purple Heart, for a small cut on his finger, which he got while doing laundry.
As we begin the second episode of the entire series the chemistry of the crew as yet to be developed as we get a hodgepodge of situations that on the surface appears funny but actually lacks humor. It was like the writer gave us some nice scenes but did not spend enough time making this scene connect to the story before moving on to another situation.
In this episode we had a enemy submarine, some kind of home movie, Binghamton's uniform, a purple heart and a approaching torpedo- this is a lot of material that was ill-used by the writer. There is enough material for three shows but for some reason the writer seemed to throw everything at the wall and hoped something stuck. Unfortunately this did not happen.
There are some things in this episode that placed a smile on the viewer's face but those were few and far apart. There is so much going on in this show that it is difficult even to tell what this program was all about. Here is hoping for better shows down the road.
