Gung Ho Episode Rating Graph

Hunt, acting as labor's liaison to management, tries to restore the job of a fellow worker who brashly expressed his opinion of a new employee rule book.

Hunt uses a new company credit card to entertain a date, an action that lands him back on the assembly line. The factory floor workers find themselves taken for a ride when they sneak spare parts out to help a supposedly struggling mobile snack vendor with engine trouble.

Hunt invites Kaz to a civic meeting, where Kaz's straight talk is a hit with the crowd after Hunt's ramblings strike out. When his wife's car keeps breaking down, Kaz becomes convinced she's having an affair with the tow-truck mechanic who comes to her aid each time.

The flu puts Kaz in bed, leaving Saito in charge, just as a reporter arrives to do a story on cooperation between the Americans and the Japanese. On the factory floor, the guys enter Randi, who lacks confidence in her looks, into a beauty contest without her knowledge.

Hunt proclaims himself a one-woman man, but Kaz and Umeki have evidence that his girl friend isn't similarly inclined. Meanwhile, a friendly bet leads to Googie running a book on the factory floor - which soon gets out of hand, and attracts unwanted attentions.

Hunt encourages Umeki to get a job selling TVs and stereos, but Kaz is outraged by the idea of his wife working. After boasting about the company's high-tech new computerized system, an embarrassed Kaz secretly starts taking computer night-courses when he struggles to use it himself - and is discovered by Yukiko, who is moonlighting as a cleaner at the college.

When Kaz's workaholic friend from Japan dies of a heart attack, Kaz drastically alters his own work habits. Buster calls in a favour to get a down-on-his-luck friend a job on the factory floor... but his friend repeatedly shows him up with poor conduct.

Umeki can't contact Kaz to tell him that the prototype he plans to introduce at the auto show was totaled in transit. Ito and Googie organize a social evening to try and bond the guys on the factor floor - and end up regretting it, when by chance Kenji and some senior executives visit the same bar amid tense business deal talks.

A visit from Hunt's brother Eddie, a Chicago commodities broker, sparks sibling rivalry; while Googie is too embarrassed to admit he's locked himself out of his car, and comes up with increasingly far-fetched cover stories to get his co-workers to help him.
