This series was screened a long time ago on British television and was an absolute scream.A captured middle-ranking commissioned US officer, Colonel Hogan does for his German captors what Seargent Bilko did for his own superiors.
Okay, yes Hogan's Heroes was funny and it made the Nazi soldiers look like bumbling fools and send them up rather than glorifying them, which I guess is redeeming to the Americans and Allied soldiers who suffered in WW2 in the Nazi camps.But I do feel uncomfortable about the concept of Hogan's Heroes and the disrespect it shows to the Americans, Brits and other Allied soldiers who were captured.
With this show being a Comedy Series during the War, I'm not surprised it lasted 6 Seasons. There is many timeless episodes, And many good ones too.
In the years that Hogan's Heroes was in first run I wonder did anyone stop to think about just how all this came together. POWs who had their own underground running from prison camp Stalag 17.
(This review was written for the release of HOGAN'S HEROES THE COMPLETE SERIES on DVD) It seems odd to post the title fond memories when discussing a show that takes place in a concentration camp. It also shows how times have changed.
When this came out, WW2 vets were a prime audience and hollywood couldn't crank out the 'we were better than those buffoon Germans' movies fast enough. Perhaps Col.
Yeah, OK: a 5'2" Gestapo soldier . .
This show is so timeless and so funny. My Grandpa watched and loved this show and he was a world war two veteran.
I have the entire series and I find it to be extremely funny. Yes almost everything is totally unbelievable concerning the characters, the escapes, etc.
