Major Dad	comment	This is not your standard sitcom. This is the story of Major John McGillis (Gerald McRaney) and the woman he fell in love with. And her three daughters. Major Dad lasted 4 seasons and 96 episodes (September 1989-April 1993).So what separates this sitcom from all others? First of all, the military, specifically the United States Marine Corps, is portrayed in a positive light. Second, each plot does not revolve around the characters passing around the Idiot Ball and blatantly lying to each other. In fact, some of the characters might be considered a little too honest at times.The entire series is available for viewing on Hulu and, from September 2021 to August 2022, on Netflix.

His father struggles with the words and finally says something that seems mild, but is delivered with such heartfelt emotion and has such an effect on Mac that it becomes a Tear Jerker.

This all was dropped in favor of a retool the following season. Even after the retool, the show still had early weirdness. Gunny was coldly methodical towards the Major (eliciting actual boos from the studio audience during her first scene) and General Craig was a bit more intimidating.
