Hogans Heroes Anyone?

Hey, has any one here seen the tv show hogans heroes? its a wwii comedy about the prisoners of Stalag 13 in Germany. It was on for about 3 years, and is still hilarious!!!

 

Yup. Still watch it. Saw a couple of episodes I had not seen plus the pilot. Amazing, I had not seen it before.

 

I got season 1 on DVD for christmas a few years back. An exellent series.

 

It has been running on the Cable channel TV Land here for awhile almost everyday.

 

Have any of you seen the feature film 'Auto Focus'. A biopic giving a dramatic insight into the dark world of sex addiction and eventual murder of Bob Crane. Who starred as Hogan in Hogan's Heroes. Released in 2002, about the time I saw it in a small art cinema. It sunk without trace my side of the atlantic.
Fascinating.

 

Haven't seen 'HH' for years! Would be good to have it on Five US. Might write them an email!

Here's a little tidbit about Robert Clary from Hogan's Heroes (from IMDB)

"Born in France, Robert Clary early suffered the pangs of war, being interned in a Nazi concentration camp as a child. After WWII he became a singing star in France, and in 1949 came to the United States to promote his career. He appeared on "The Ed Wynn Show" (1949); still learning English he performed in a French language comedy skit. His comedic skills were recognized by Broadway, where he appeared in several revues, including one which moved from theater to film, New Faces (1954). In the 1950's he was a game show regular, and then in 1965 he became Corporal Louis LeBeau in "Hogan's Heroes" (1965). Later film roles were based around WWII, such as Remembrance of Love (1982) (TV) about Holocaust survivors. More recently he returned to television series, joining "Days of Our Lives" (1965) and appearing in "The Young and the Restless" (1973)."

Seems he had the real background to play his role in the Hogan Heroes series!

 

good series all around well worth watching .. great old show

yep, I watch a few episodes here and there. They just started playing them on TV Land here in the states, so they are easier to find now.

Yep, watch it at 5:00 on TV Land everyday, when I am able. Schultzzzzz!

 

Di-smissed!

 

Heh heh, Mmmm, I see Nothing, I hear nothing, I know nothhhing."

Yep, I was weaned on TV with reruns of this show-along w/ Leave It To BEaver, The Munsters, Star Trek, The Rifleman, Gunsmoke, etc etc etc.

I have all SIX seasons of the show on DvD. The show ran from 1965 to 1970. These come with extras on some of the DvDs.

PS, TV Land in my area, is showing them early evening and then again after midnight. Last night they weren't on but, Sanford and Son were-which is an OK suppliment. ;-))

 

I've always loved HH. WhenI was a kid, obsessed with WW2, I was in my junior high library reading WW2 newspapers. They had them in these huge blue binders.

I found an interesting thing. In a picture taken about the end of the war, there was five prisoners on a porch holding up a sign reading:"Welcome to Stalag 17". The prisoners looked very much like the actors from the show. I think the show was cast from this picture.

 

What's Hogan's Heroes?

ha ha ha

You can guess who my favorite character is.

 

Great show, very entertaining......I try not to think about the Bob Crane stuff which kind of ruins it......Jolly Joker....see I've forgotten it already

 

The summer of 1970 I was working in a machine shop. Well the boss was this German gentleman who they said had been a soldier in WWII and NOT in the Allied camp. Well one morning Peter came in laughing and jolly-"Dot 'Hogan's Heroes'!" he was laughing. "Dot iss chust like de Cherman Armee! 'DIS...miiisssed!'" he did Col Klink's schtick. The writers apparently got the "comedy of manners" right enough to impress a guy who was actually there.
