    AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
    VividSimon Simply Perfect
    Inmechon The movie's only flaw is also a virtue: It's jammed with characters, stories, warmth and laughs.
    Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
    dweilermg-1 When asked why Hennesey episodes have never been seen in syndication Abby Dalton explained that they were accidentally destroyed in a fire. After Hennesy when Abby became Joey Bishop's TV wife on his sitcom some viewers griped that Abby and Joey lacked the chemistry of Abby and Jackie. Yet many of us love Abby no matter who her TV hubby was.
    rbacigal are there any copies of Hennesey available? In any format? are there copies of the soundtrack? of the title theme? any books about the show? any photos of the cast? Where can I search for copies of the show? Where can I get info on the show? Any place to request that they market copies? Any helpful info to find out more? It's hard finding ten lines to write when I really only have one question. How can I learn more about where to look to find information on the show. It was a favorite of mine, I think - as best I can remember from almost fifty years ago. It struck me as a very gentle show with a rhythm I enjoyed. Hope fully this is now ten lines and I can stop babbling.
    barrrp Jackie Cooper played a WWII Army vet who went to medical school and entered the Navy as a doctor. In the first episode when the new doctor reports to his new commanding officer at the naval hospital, the CO looks over his personnel record, notes the Army experience and asks Hennesey, 'Have you ever been to sea?' No, sir.' 'Have you ever been on a ship?' 'No, sir.' 'Can you identify water?' 'In daytime, I can, yes, sir.' In the series, James Komack played a hip nonconformist dentist who reputedly filled his own teeth. Henry Kulky as Max probably had the best role of his career as the sensitive Goliath who--in one episode--saved the arm of a sailor who had it caught in a machine. Max picked up the sailor and turned him over to unwind the arm from the gears. The show was blessed with a great cast and excellent writers. The show was funny without being silly and serious without sinking into melodrama.
    redblanchard I worked with Don at KHJ-TV in Hollywood in the early 70's, and he said he "controlled" 'Hennesy,' and would NEVER let it be re-run. Being a pretty contentious guy he said he didn't need a reason, but I watched every episode and, believe me, it would hold up VERY WELL by today's TV standards (is that an oxymoron?) But seriously, folks, Hennesy, even though it is black and white, could, of course, be colorized; and I sincerely hope that his estate, or whomever owns the show now, would consider releasing it; at least on video...I would be the first customer in line for all 96 episodes. Thanks for letting me put in my 2c worth.
