Can you imagine trying to pitch the show’s premise to network bots today?

It would be set in Guantanamo, with the terrorists making fools out of their bumbling US captors.

That shall always be a classic TV series. Reminds me wistfully of the halcyon days when America was still America. Very melancholy. Repose en paix monsieur Clary.

I always had mixed feelings about ‘Hogan’s Heroes”. I found the premise - that the Nazis were a bunch of funny, bumbling fools - to be repulsive.

On the other hand, the guy who played Col. Klink was a true comic genius. From his mannerisms to the way he delivered his lines, he was great fun to watch.

They were all Germans and holocoaust survivors. It was brilliant. Even general burkhalter. That was real comedy

If they can get rid of the laugh track…

Rip Robert Clary.
