Perhaps one of Joel Kane's best episodes, continuing the goofy exploits of new Army recruits Dobie and Maynard. Also the episode with the LONGEST title?
There's only ONE problem. Before they reach the induction center, Mayward goes AWOL, prompting Dobie to frantically get a last minute "imposter" so his pal won't get thrown in the brig! And since Mr. Gillis, Zelda and Chatsworth are seeing the guys off, why not substitute Chatsworth???
Why not?
Steve Franken is at his funniest here, a scene stealer for sure. Do not miss the scene with the bizarre Morse Code class. Popular character actor John Fiedler is spot on as the by the book corporal running the class, and listen to all the crazy codes! This scene had to be inspired by the BOWERY BOYS, and all their wild military adventures.
Familiar actor Frank Wilcox plays Dr. Worthington.
Cheers for resourceful Zelda for her doing her best to help Dobie. 10 STARS.
From SEASON 2 EPISODE 23.
