I do that too. I'll just sit and look at the screen, trying to think of something to say.

I'll add though... one could have been skeptical of Hogans Heroes seeing as it was a comedy about a WWII POW camp. Put on TV just 20 years after the end of the second world war. It turned out to be one of the best remembered TV sitcoms of all time and ran for six seasons.

Im not sure what they were thinking by even attempting Heil Honey I'm Home... i still cant even believe that was a real thing.

As I recall Hogans Heroes was roundly criticized by veteran groups when it first came out.

That could be funny. I had an idea for a movie about Hitler and Mussolini taking a road trip together, inspired by a dream I had years ago lol.That is what makes things funny sometimes, absurdity.I never found Hogan's Heroes to be that funny but it was popular.I am sure even in the despair of the camps there was humor, have read about it.

That's an odd thing to dream about.

I'm not surprised. Who would want to claim copyright on something called Heil Honey I'm Home?

I had watched something about them before dozed off, it was a comedy but with "Addy" and "Benny", it was silly, woke up laughing.

Oh you know....

Electronic Arts would. Being the evil company they are.

And I'm one of them. :salute:

Did you realize that Hogan's Heroes was loosely based on Stalag 17?

I think they should air it again, but rename it to 'Heil Celebrity-X, I'm Home', and call it the latest reality TV show. Idiots would flock to it. :yep:

There was a pilot made for a show called The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer, about a former slave working as a servant for the Lincoln family. In addition to some questionable gags about slavery, they decided to recast Abraham Lincoln, arguably the most revered president in history, as a one-note buffoonish sex addict in order to parody then-president Bill Clinton.


Apparently, someone came to their senses and aborted it.

yep. lots of interesting trivia with that show.

like... Sgt Schulz actor John Banner left Austria with a traveling show before hostilities, while he was gone, crap hit the fan... ultimately his family died in a concentration camp.

The main reason I tracked down S17 and watched it. :) It's a great movie.

Lots of the characters were jewish and some of them had experiences in concentration camps.

Still one of my favorite shows of all time no matter where the actors came from.
