That show was part of my childhood, and it’s still a well-loved, light-hearted part of our cultural legacy. And it portrayed something in our national character that we ought to hold on to: A group of jaunty, can-do American guys in the hands of the enemy, but still able to outwit them at every turn through sheer cool, guts and bravado. Okay, it was an absurdist comedy, not great art, but still not a bad image for us to reflect on in tough times. Thanks for the laughs and the inspiration, Mr. Dixon—rest in peace, and deepest condolences to your family.
It was a bit of a ‘trip’ to see it on German TV, dubbed in German.
(Another oddity is that the dubbed voice for Hogan himself sounded completely unlike Bob Crane.)
