CPO Sharkey - Time Life's Official Press Release for 'The Complete Season 2'

For two seasons (1976-1978) and 37 episodes, Don Rickles brought his distinctive brand of comedy to NBC-TV as the star of CPO SHARKEY. As a 24-year naval veteran, Chief Petty Officer Otto Sharkey had seen and heard it all. He was politically incorrect before the term existed, and the recruits he whipped into shape at the San Diego naval training center received most of his shards of wisdom. They may have been hockey pucks, but they were his hockey pucks - ready, willing, and able to endure one verbal Shark attack after another, and CPO SHARKEY: THE COMPLETE SEASON TWO delivers Mr. Warmth's inimitable brand of comedy, in spades.

Across 22 guffaw-filled episodes, THE COMPLETE SEASON TWO finds Sharkey trying to cope with two new characters. Raw recruit Apodaca likes to "tawk" and Sharkey can't find the off button, but it's new commanding officer Captain Buckner who makes his life a living hell. They get plenty of in-your-face time during a submarine mission in San Francisco. Buckner cringes at the thought of Sharkey hosting a Japanese CPO, and almost blows a gasket when a child is born in the barracks while crusading Congresswoman Bagley inspects the base. Sharkey is under constant pressure. His girlfriend gives him an ultimatum. He deals with a bout of Russian flu. He trains Rocky-style for a boxing match with a rival Marine. Sharkey gleefully bails out his guys by foiling a crooked used-car salesman. He's earned his gotcha moment - and it sure beats squirming all day...
