Critical Response
The day of the show's debut, The Washington Post called Baa Baa Black Sheep a "war-is-swell series at anyone who remembers World War II as a rousing, blowzy, fraternity turkey-shoot." This may have been because the pilot show was just that. However with the second show, the series got down to the serious business of fighting a war. The members of Boyington's unit objected to the show on the grounds that it was not the truth of what occurred in the Pacific Theater.
