I love Hogan’s Heroes. Yes, it’s farcical. No, it truly isn’t a funny show that makes you laugh. I just really like it. Every now and again it had some surprising historical accuracies and what ifs.
Black Sheep Squadron/Baa Baa Black Sheep pretty crappy show overall. Some historical accuracy but damn, I just love watching Corsairs fly that I have to view it if its on.
MASH will be the ultimate military themed series until the end of time. I can see no other show with the societal impact it had ever again.
Hogan’s Heroes was based on an actual British prisoner of war that would leave camp, go into town and get information, send it back to the allies then go back into camp.
He also orchestrated sabotage against the Germans while a prisoner.
Almost all the German characters in Hogan’s Heroes were played by Jewish actors.
Irony, can be pretty ironic.
