With all the fun with religion and the election, this makes a great diversion:

Wow! The pilot episode! Say what you want about it, that show could be funny.

Interesting facts about the actors:

Robert Clary, who played LeBeau, was actually a survivor of the Holocaust.

Werner Klemperer, Howard Caine, Leon Askin, and John Banner, who play the chief Germans Klink, Hochstetter, Burkhalter and Schultz, were in fact all Jewish.

I'm glad you liked it!

I laughed when i saw this:
Among the recurring characters who appeared on the show were female French resistance fighter Tiger (played by Arlene Martel), Marya the White Russian (played by Nita Talbot) and the bumbling R.A.F. officer Colonel Crittendon (played by Bernard Fox).

So, Bernard was at Stalag 13:rotfl:

I grew up with this program along with Rat Patrol.

Funny how these two programs had a profound effect on my studies of WW2.

Here is some almost interesting trivia about the show Hogan's Heros

When it was first being written/proposed by Bernard Fein, the show was supposed to be called Hogan's Horde. It was supposed to take place inside an American prison with Hogan being a criminal and the American prison guards playing what would be the bumbling German guards.

Clearly this type of plot would not fly in 1960's. Depicting American prison guards as bumbling is not very patriotic and how could Hogan be portrayed as being a criminal (hence in a prison) but still the sympathetic protagonist?

Where can you have American's in prison and still have them be the good guys?

POW camp of course.

And a really really funny sitcom was born
