  7. 10/10. Wackiest Ship -- TV series. edastoria 7 December 2013. As much as I liked the movie, I liked the TV series a lot better. Jack Warden really adds something that the movie lacked. I really do wish it was available on VHS or DVD (even in PAL format). I would love to see those episodes again.
