For G-d's sake.

I mean, can we reach back to a show discontinued 40 years ago, and maybe in syndication another 10 years after that?

30-40 years is too long to wait before criticizing a show.

It's periodically still on Australian TV. I love it!

The guy's got a valid point, though. The folks who are voting on this stuff now, were forming their views of the Nazis 30-40 years ago. And, like me, they probably watched Hogans Heroes every day after school. It shaded my perception of the Nazis, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.

For legislation like this, I think a yes/no vote comes down mostly to a matter of personal perceptions and emotional responses -- and a childhood diet of Hogans Heroes might well affect one's view.
