When Is Major Dad Set To Be Licensed On Netflix?

Netflix US is set to license the classic sitcom Major Dad from September 1st, 2021. All four seasons consisting of 96 episodes are expected to arrive on Netflix marking the first time they’ve done so in Netflix’s history. It ran until May 17th, 1993 (a year before I was born!)

The series starred Gerald McRaney (who featured in Netflix’s House of Cards), Shanna Reed, Beverly Archer, and Jon Cypher. The series isn’t expected to have received any special treatment before releasing on Netflix whether that be a 4K or HD upscaling. We’re expecting it to show in its original 4:3 format.

NBC.com has streamed the show in the past, however. You’d naturally think Peacock would be the exclusive streaming home given the show is distributed by Universal Television but that’s not currently the case. How long Major Dad will stream on Netflix also isn’t known.

Who Was The Main Character In The Cbs Sitcom Series?

1 9 8 9 – 1 9 9 3 (USA) 96 x 30 minute episodes Major John D “Mac” MacGillis (Gerald McRaney) was the main character in this CBS sitcom series. MacGillis was a conservative spit-and-polish Marine officer stationed at Camp Singleton in Oceanside, San Diego, California. A veteran of three tours of duty in Vietnam, he lived a well-ordered life until he fell in love with Polly Cooper (Shanna Reed), a liberal unconventional reporter who interviewed him for the Oceanside Chronicle – a local newspaper.

After a whirlwind three-week courtship Mac married Polly and suddenly found his ordered life turned upside down when he became surrounded by females. Polly’s three daughters were 15-year-old Elizabeth (Marisa Ryan), 11-year-old Robin (Nichole Dubuc) and 6-year-old Casey (Chelsea Hertford). Other regular characters were Mac’s staff members, including easy-to-please Second Lieutenant Gene Holowachuk (Matt Mulhern), quick-tongued Sergeant Byron James (Marlon Archey) and the perky secretary Merilee Gunderson (Whitney Kershaw).

They now lived on the base (house number 485) and Mac became a ‘staff weenie’ – the nickname for the job he held as staff secretary to General Marcus Craig. Polly became the managing editor of the camp newspaper, the Bulldog and wrote the “At Ease” section of the paper and a column called “The Suggestion Box”. Added to the cast were Gunnery Sgt Alva ‘Gunny’ Bricker (Beverly Archer) – who soon became one of the most popular characters on the show – and Jeffrey Craig (Chance Michael Corbitt), the commanding officer’s mischievous grandson who was called “the beast of the base”.

A November 1990 episode commemorated the 215th anniversary of the Marine Corps and featured a guest appearance from Dan Quayle, then the vice president of the USA.
